Opportunity Summary:
The FY11 Region 07 Wetland Program Development Grants (Funding Opportunity Number EPA R7WWPD 11 001) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency focused on strengthening government wetland programs. The core purpose is to help eligible public entities build, improve, or refine wetland programs at the state, tribal, and local levels, consistent with the wetland program development goals described in the announcement's funding opportunity description. In practical terms, the grants are intended to support the capacity and tools that government agencies need to better manage, protect, and restore wetlands through more effective program structures, procedures, and implementation approaches.
Funding is offered through grants and cooperative agreements under CFDA 66.461 (Regional Wetland Program Development Grants). EPA anticipated making about 6 awards under this competition, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,190,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a minimum (floor) of $100,000 to a maximum (ceiling) of $500,000. A cost share or matching contribution is required, meaning recipients must provide some portion of project costs from non-federal sources as part of the overall project budget.
Eligibility is limited to governmental and government-linked entities. States, Tribes, local government agencies, interstate agencies, and intertribal consortia are eligible to apply. Universities can only apply if they are actually agencies of a state government; if so, they must include documentation in the proposal showing they are chartered as part of state government. Nonprofit organizations are explicitly not eligible to compete under this request for proposals, which makes the competition focused on public-sector program development rather than NGO-led projects.
The opportunity was posted on May 12, 2011, with a closing date of July 6, 2011 (with the announcement directing applicants to consult Section IV for detailed submission and due date instructions). The opportunity was later archived on August 5, 2011. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, EPA provided a contact point: Mandy Whitsitt at 913-551-7311.
