Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), sought proposals to continue the development and ongoing maintenance of the Healthcare Environmental Resource Center (often described as the "Healthcare Center"). The core purpose of the project was to keep a centralized resource current and dependable for the healthcare sector by providing practical environmental compliance assistance and pollution prevention information. In other words, the grant was aimed at supporting a tool or program that helps healthcare facilities understand and meet environmental requirements while also encouraging approaches that reduce waste and prevent pollution before it starts.
The opportunity was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the EPA expected to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply awarding funds and stepping back. The program fell under an environmental assistance and compliance support focus area and was tied to CFDA 66.305, which relates to compliance assistance services for the regulated community and other assistance providers. The EPA anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $400,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated, so applicants were not required to contribute a specific portion of funds from their own resources as a condition of the award.
Eligibility was relatively broad within government and public-sector institutions. Eligible applicants included federally recognized Native American tribal governments, state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. The listing also referenced "Others (see text)" and directed applicants to review Section III of the full announcement for the complete eligibility rules and any clarifications about additional eligible entity types.
Key administrative dates show this was a time-limited, competitive solicitation. The notice was posted and created on October 21, 2009, with an original and current closing date of November 27, 2009, and it was archived on December 27, 2009. Applicants were instructed to consult the full announcement, particularly Section IV, for specific submission methods and any detailed requirements related to deadlines, formats, and how proposals needed to be delivered.
