Opportunity Summary:
The FY12 and FY13 Region 8 Wetland Program Development Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number EPA-REG08-12-01) is a discretionary EPA Region 8 funding competition designed to help governments strengthen wetland protection and management. The core purpose is to support projects that build, improve, or refine wetland programs run by state, tribal, and local government entities. The assistance is intended to move wetland programs forward in a practical way, consistent with the program development goals described in the announcement's funding opportunity description (referenced as Section I in the full notice). Awards are offered as either grants or cooperative agreements, meaning EPA may have varying levels of involvement depending on the award type and the specific project.
Eligibility is limited to governmental and government-linked entities. States, federally recognized Tribes, local government agencies, interstate agencies, and intertribal consortia may apply. Universities can only apply if they are formally part of a state government (for example, a state university that is legally an agency of the state), and the application must include documentation proving that status as part of the proposal package. Nonprofit organizations are explicitly not eligible to compete under this request for proposals, which is an important restriction compared to many other environmental funding programs.
The opportunity falls under CFDA 66.461, Regional Wetland Program Development Grants, and is categorized under the Environment funding activity area. EPA anticipated making up to 25 awards from a total estimated funding amount of $3,300,500. Individual award amounts were expected to range from a floor of $25,000 to a ceiling of $250,000. The announcement also indicates a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should plan to contribute matching funds or in-kind support as required by the program rules and described in the full announcement.
