Opportunity Summary:
The FY11 Region 1 Wetland Program Development Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number EPA REG1 WPDG 2011) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to strengthen wetland protection efforts across EPA Region 1. The purpose is to help eligible government applicants 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 aimed at developing the capacity, tools, and program infrastructure needed to manage wetlands more effectively, rather than funding unrelated environmental projects.
Eligible applicants are limited to governmental and government-affiliated entities. States, Tribes, local government agencies, interstate agencies, and intertribal consortia can apply. Universities can apply only if they are officially an agency of a state government, and proposals must include documentation showing the university is chartered as part 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. The official eligibility rules are referenced in Section III of the full announcement for applicants that need to confirm their status or any additional conditions.
Awards are issued as grants under CFDA 66.461 (Regional Wetland Program Development Grants). EPA anticipated making about 15 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,895,125 available under this competition. Individual awards were expected to range from a minimum (floor) of $25,000 to a maximum (ceiling) of $300,000, allowing both smaller targeted program improvements and larger multi-component program development efforts. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients must contribute a share of project costs from non-federal sources, with the exact expectations governed by the terms in the full announcement.
The opportunity was posted on June 6, 2011, and the application closing date was July 18, 2011 (with instructions to review Section IV of the announcement for detailed submission and due date requirements). The opportunity archive date was August 17, 2011. For applicants who had trouble accessing the complete announcement electronically, EPA listed a regional contact: Jeanne Voorhees at (617) 918-1686.
