Opportunity Summary:
The FY10 Region 04 Wetland Program Development Grants (Funding Opportunity Number EPA REG04WPDG 2010) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency focused on strengthening wetland programs run by governments in EPA Region 4. The grant supports projects that help build, improve, or refine wetland program capacity at the state, tribal, and local levels, with the broader goal of preventing, reducing, and eliminating water pollution. In practical terms, the EPA is looking to fund work that improves how wetlands are assessed, managed, protected, restored, and integrated into water quality programs, and the agency notes that some projects may involve or relate to geospatial information (for example, mapping, spatial analysis, wetland inventory updates, or related data management).
The assistance is offered as grants and cooperative agreements under CFDA 66.461 (Regional Wetland Program Development Grants). The program is designed to promote and speed up coordinated activities such as research and investigations, experiments and demonstrations, training, surveys, and studies that address the causes, effects, and extent of water pollution, as well as strategies to prevent or reduce it. The emphasis is on practical program development rather than purely academic research, meaning the funded work should translate into improved governmental wetland program functions, tools, partnerships, and implementation capacity.
Eligibility is limited to governmental and government-connected entities. Eligible applicants include states, tribes, local government agencies, interstate agencies, and intertribal consortia. Universities can apply only if they are agencies of state government (in other words, the university must be part of the state governmental structure for eligibility under this announcement). Nonprofit organizations are explicitly not eligible to compete under this request for proposals, which is an important restriction compared with many other EPA funding programs.
Funding details indicate an estimated total of about $2.3 million available, with an expectation of roughly 10 awards. Individual awards are anticipated to range from a floor of $100,000 to a ceiling of $600,000. The opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants should plan for non-federal contributions consistent with the rules described in the full announcement. Because match requirements can vary by program design and statutory authority, applicants would need to confirm the exact percentage, allowable sources, and documentation expectations in the announcement.
Key dates for the competition show the posting date as May 5, 2010, with a proposal deadline (original and current closing date) of June 15, 2010, and an archive date of July 15, 2010. Submission methods, formatting, and any special requirements are referenced as being in the full announcement, particularly Section IV, and additional eligibility nuances are referenced in Section III. For applicants who could not access the announcement electronically, the contact listed is Morgan Jackson at (404) 562-9393.
