Opportunity Summary:
The FY12 Region 04 Wetland Program Development Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number EPA REG04 12 01) was a discretionary EPA funding program designed to help eligible government entities in EPA Region 4 strengthen, expand, or fine-tune wetland programs. The core purpose was program development rather than on-the-ground construction alone, meaning the emphasis was on building the capacity, tools, processes, and coordination needed for effective wetland protection and management at the state, tribal, and local levels. EPA framed the work around improving how wetland programs are designed and implemented, consistent with the funding opportunity description referenced in the announcement.
Funding was offered through either grants or cooperative agreements, which signals that EPA anticipated a mix of standard grant administration and, in some cases, more direct EPA involvement during project implementation (a common feature of cooperative agreements). The program fell under the environmental assistance listing CFDA 66.461, Regional Wetland Program Development Grants. EPA expected to make about 10 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,156,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $150,000 (floor) to $600,000 (ceiling). Applicants also needed to be prepared for a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients would have to contribute non-federal resources toward the project in the manner described in the full announcement.
Eligibility was limited to governmental and government-affiliated entities. Specifically, states, tribes, local government agencies, interstate agencies, and intertribal consortia could apply. Universities were only eligible if they functioned as an agency of a state government, and the proposal had to include documentation proving the institution is chartered as part of state government. Nonprofit organizations were explicitly ineligible to compete under this request for proposals, which narrowed participation to public-sector applicants and certain state-government university entities. The official eligibility rules were laid out in Section III of the announcement, and submission instructions were contained in Section IV.
Key administrative dates were straightforward: the opportunity was posted and created on February 7, 2012, with an original and current closing date of March 19, 2012. The opportunity was later archived on April 18, 2012. Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement for required forms, submission procedures, and any regional or technical priorities governing what types of wetland program development activities would be most competitive.
