Opportunity Summary:
The Chesapeake Bay Program Office Fiscal Year 2015 Request for Proposals for Bay Journal Support is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), issued through the EPA Chesapeake Bay Program Office (CBPO). The purpose of the competition is to select one recipient to support the continued publication and content production of the Bay Journal, a long-running public information outlet focused on issues, events, and developments affecting the Chesapeake Bay. The Bay Journal functions as a public-facing communications tool for Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) partners by delivering credible environmental reporting and timely updates intended to raise public awareness and understanding of Bay-related challenges and actions.
Under this RFP, applicants are expected to propose a cost-effective approach to producing journalistic and informational content for multiple platforms. The Bay Journal is a free publication with an approximate circulation of 25,000 and is affiliated with the Associated Press, which signals an expectation of professional news standards and broad public relevance. The print edition is published on a roughly monthly schedule, with breaks in mid-summer and mid-winter, resulting in a set number of issues each year rather than a continuous 12-issue run. In addition to the print periodical, the selected grantee must also support ongoing distribution of content through an electronic news service and routine posting to the Bay Journal website (www.bayjournal.com). A key element of the scope is maintaining timely news, feature stories, and informational pieces between print cycles so that the public receives updates even when a hard-copy issue is not being released.
The funding opportunity is identified as EPA R3 CBP 15 06, with an activity category of Environment and an assistance listing number (CFDA) of 66.466, Chesapeake Bay Program. EPA anticipated making a single award under this solicitation, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,100,000 and an award ceiling of $2,100,000. The opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the applicant must provide non-federal share as defined in the full announcement. Eligibility is not broadly stated in the summary text and is instead described as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," with more detailed eligibility requirements referenced in Section III of the full announcement.
Key dates for the competition include a posted and creation date of June 19, 2015, and an application closing date of August 3, 2015 (with the notice advising applicants to consult Section IV of the full announcement for official submission methods and any detailed deadline instructions). The opportunity was archived on September 2, 2015. For applicants who could not access the complete announcement electronically, the notice provided a point of contact at EPA: Tim Roberts, with a fax number (410-267-5777) and an email address listed as roberts.timothy p@epa.gov (typically interpreted as roberts.timothy.p@epa.gov).
