Opportunity Summary:
The FY10 Region 9 Wetland Program Development Grants (Funding Opportunity Number: EPA REG9 WP10) is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) discretionary funding opportunity focused on strengthening wetland programs run by government entities in EPA Region 9. The grants are designed to help eligible applicants build, improve, or refine state, tribal, and local wetland programs by supporting projects that speed up and coordinate practical work such as research, investigations, training, demonstrations, surveys, and studies tied to water pollution. The underlying intent is to improve how wetlands are protected and managed in ways that prevent, reduce, or eliminate water pollution, while also improving understanding of pollution causes, effects, and extent. The announcement notes that some funded projects may involve or relate to geospatial information, which can include mapping, spatial data management, or other location-based analysis tools that support wetland assessment and planning.
Funding is offered through grants and cooperative agreements under CFDA 66.461 (Regional Wetland Program Development Grants). EPA anticipated making about 15 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $1,975,300. Individual awards were expected to range from $50,000 (award floor) to $350,000 (award ceiling). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should be prepared to contribute non-federal resources as part of the project budget, consistent with the requirements described in the full announcement.
Eligibility is limited to government and certain government-affiliated entities. Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, interstate agencies, and intertribal consortia. Universities can apply only if they are considered agencies of state government. Nonprofit organizations are explicitly not eligible to compete under this request for proposals, which is an important restriction compared to many other EPA funding opportunities that allow nonprofit participation.
Projects must be performed within EPA Region 9 to qualify. The covered geographic areas include Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and other unincorporated U.S. Pacific possessions. In practice, this means applicants need to propose work that directly benefits wetland program development within one or more of these jurisdictions, rather than work occurring outside the region or primarily benefiting other areas.
The opportunity was posted on April 1, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 6, 2010, and it was archived on June 5, 2010. Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement, especially Section IV, for the official submission instructions, methods, and any detailed due date requirements. For help accessing the full announcement, EPA provided a contact person: Suzanne Marr at (415) 972-3468.
