Opportunity Summary:
The Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Advanced Monitoring Systems (AMS) Center grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number EPA ORD NRMRL CI 09 11) was issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under its Office of Research and Development. It offered support through a cooperative agreement, meaning the EPA expected to be substantially involved in the work rather than simply providing funds with minimal oversight. The overall purpose was to select an organization to operate the ETV AMS Center, one of the ETV program centers responsible for producing objective, quality-assured performance verifications of environmental and homeland security technologies.
At its core, the ETV program is designed to help decision-makers trust performance claims about environmental technologies by evaluating them using rigorous, transparent methods. These verifications are meant to be credible to a wide audience, including government agencies, states, communities, regulated industries, technology developers, and individual purchasers. By establishing standardized, quality-assured verification results, ETV centers reduce uncertainty for buyers and users and make it easier to compare technologies on real performance rather than marketing claims.
The AMS Center specifically focuses on monitoring technologies that are commercially ready and intended to detect, measure, or track contaminants and naturally occurring species in environmental media. The opportunity emphasizes air, water, and soil monitoring applications. In practical terms, this could include advanced sensors, field-deployable analyzers, continuous monitors, or other monitoring systems used for environmental surveillance, compliance support, site characterization, emergency response, or related applications where reliable measurement performance matters.
The EPA anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,000,000. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which typically lowers the barrier to entry for eligible applicants. The funding activity category was listed as Environment, and the CFDA number associated with the opportunity was 66.511 (Office of Research and Development Consolidated Research/Training/Fellowships).
Eligibility covered a range of public-sector and academic entities, including federally recognized Native American tribal governments, state governments, counties, and city or township governments, as well as public/state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. The announcement also referenced additional eligible applicant types under an "Others" category, with the exact details directed to Section III of the full announcement for clarification and any further conditions.
Key dates show this was a time-limited, competitive solicitation posted on November 5, 2009, with an application deadline of December 15, 2009. The record indicates an archive date of January 14, 2010, reflecting that the competition has closed. Applicants were instructed to consult the full announcement, particularly Section IV, for official submission methods and requirements.
