Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through its Office of Research and Development, issued a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) seeking proposals to support the planning and delivery of scientific and technical conferences, workshops, and meetings focused on research that protects human health and safeguards the environment. The funding is intended to help applicants plan, arrange, administer, and/or conduct these events, with an emphasis on research-oriented programs rather than general outreach. EPA highlighted five priority research program areas that conferences should address: human health; ecosystems, water, and security; economics and sustainability; air and global climate change; and technology.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary program using either cooperative agreements or grants, under CFDA 66.510 (Surveys, Studies, Investigations and Special Purpose Grants within the Office of Research and Development). EPA anticipated making around 15 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000 across all awards. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which means proposals were not required to include non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility.
The BAA covered a defined open period from December 10, 2007 through December 9, 2008, and it used multiple submission cycles. Applications had to be received by one of three deadlines depending on the cycle selected: January 7, 2008; June 5, 2008; or December 9, 2008. The posting date recorded for the opportunity was April 16, 2008, and the opportunity’s closing date was December 9, 2008. The archive date was January 8, 2009. The listing also notes that the announcement was later cancelled until further notice, indicating that no additional submissions would be accepted beyond that point unless EPA reissued or replaced the announcement.
Eligibility was broad and included nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that specific nonprofit category), private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, state governments, local governments (including city/township and county governments), and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The announcement also referenced “others†as potentially eligible, with the expectation that applicants would consult the eligibility section of the full announcement for the detailed rules and any clarifications.
For applicants or interested parties who could not access the full announcement electronically, EPA provided a point of contact: Bernice L. Smith at (202) 343-9766.
