Opportunity Summary:

The FY11 Region 3 Wetland Program Development Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number EPA-REG03-EAD-11-08) is a discretionary EPA funding competition designed to help governments in EPA Region 3 build, strengthen, or refine wetland programs. The focus is on developing the core components of state, tribal, and local wetland program capacity, consistent with the Wetland Program Development Grant framework referenced in the announcement. In practical terms, EPA is looking for proposals that move wetland programs forward by improving how wetlands are managed, protected, restored, monitored, and incorporated into broader water resource decision-making.

Funding is provided through grants and cooperative agreements under CFDA 66.461 (Regional Wetland Program Development Grants). EPA anticipated making about three awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,500,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $500,000 (award floor) and $750,000 (award ceiling). The announcement also indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants needed to plan for and document a non-federal contribution as part of the overall project budget and workplan.

Eligible applicants are limited to governmental and government-linked entities. States, Tribes, local government agencies, interstate agencies, and intertribal consortia may apply. State universities can apply only if they are formally an agency of state government, and they must include documentation in the application showing they are chartered as part of state government. Nonprofit organizations are explicitly not eligible to compete under this request for proposals, which narrows the field to public-sector applicants and specific intergovernmental entities.

Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on June 6, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 2, 2011, and an archive date of September 1, 2011. Applicants were directed to review the full announcement, particularly Section IV, for detailed submission instructions and any additional due date information, and Section III for the full eligibility requirements and conditions. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed contact was Anita Provenzano at EPA (215-814-5180).
