Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2009 Technical Training Support Activities for the State Revolving Fund (SRF) Programs opportunity is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) discretionary funding announcement seeking cooperative agreement proposals to strengthen technical training tied to EPA's SRF programs. The SRFs are key financing tools used by states to support water infrastructure projects, and this grant is designed to improve the training and support materials that help SRF programs operate effectively and communicate their results. EPA expects to make up to two awards under this announcement, with an estimated total program funding amount of $340,000.
The work is narrowly focused on two distinct technical training support activities. The first activity centers on national-level capacity building: the recipient would plan, prepare, and deliver technical training support for two National SRF Infrastructure Financing and Training Workshops. This implies developing agendas and training materials, coordinating speakers and sessions, and providing the logistical and technical support needed to run workshops that help SRF practitioners understand financing approaches, program implementation practices, and infrastructure funding strategies. The emphasis is on practical training that SRF staff and partners can use to improve how they structure, manage, and deliver SRF assistance.
The second activity is focused on communications and environmental outcomes, specifically for the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF). Under this activity, the recipient would plan, prepare, and provide technical training support on effective ways to communicate CWSRF environmental benefits, using the environmental benefit information produced through the CWSRF Benefits Reporting (CBR) Initiative. In other words, EPA is looking for support that helps programs translate benefits reporting data into clear, credible messaging for stakeholders such as state leadership, local communities, utilities, and the public. The goal is not just to collect data, but to help SRF programs explain what the investments achieve in environmental and water quality terms.
A practical feature of this opportunity is that awarded funds, for either activity, may be used to promote participation and to cover travel costs for non-federal personnel attending workshop or workgroup meetings. This is intended to remove barriers for state and local participants and increase attendance and engagement, which is often critical for national workshops and collaborative workgroups where information sharing and consistent practice across jurisdictions is a priority.
The assistance instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning EPA anticipates substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out (for example, collaboration on workshop content, deliverables, or coordination). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed. The award size ranges from an award floor of $80,000 to an award ceiling of $180,000, which aligns with the expectation of up to two awards dividing the total estimated funding.
Eligible applicants include a broad mix of public and private entities and individuals, including private and public institutions of higher education, state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and individuals, with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement (Section III). The funding opportunity number is EPA OW OWM 09 01, and the program is associated with CFDA 66.436 (Surveys, Studies, Investigations, Demonstrations, and Training Grants and Cooperative Agreements under Section 104(b)(3)). The opportunity was posted on December 2, 2008, and the application deadline was January 14, 2009, with the archive date listed as February 13, 2009.
