Opportunity Summary:
The FY14 Region 2 Wetland Program Development Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number EPA REG2 14 WPDG) is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency funding announcement designed to help strengthen wetland programs run by government entities. The core purpose is to support projects that build, improve, or refine wetland program capacity at the state, tribal, and local levels, consistent with the wetland program development goals described in the announcement's funding opportunity description. In practice, this means EPA is looking for proposals that move wetland programs forward in a concrete way, such as developing or upgrading program elements, processes, and tools that improve how wetlands are managed, protected, restored, and monitored within a jurisdiction.
The opportunity is offered as a discretionary program under CFDA 66.461 (Regional Wetland Program Development Grants), and awards may be made through either a cooperative agreement or a grant, depending on the level of federal involvement anticipated in the project. EPA expected to make about six awards under this announcement. Total estimated funding available across all awards was about $793,000, with individual awards ranging from a minimum (floor) of $75,000 to a maximum (ceiling) of $300,000. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients must contribute non-federal resources toward the project as required by the program and as detailed in the full announcement.
Eligibility is limited to governmental and quasi-governmental applicants. Eligible applicants include states, federally recognized tribes, local government agencies, interstate agencies, and intertribal consortia. Universities can apply only if they are legitimately part of a state government structure (for example, a public university system that is legally an instrumentality or agency of the state), and they must provide documentation in their proposal demonstrating that chartered status as part of state government. Nonprofit organizations are explicitly not eligible to compete under this request for proposals, which is an important restriction for teams considering partnerships; nonprofits could potentially participate as contractors or collaborators if allowed by the applicant's approach and the grant rules, but they cannot be the applicant of record for this competition.
Key administrative details include a posted and creation date of March 19, 2014, with an application deadline of May 2, 2014 (with the announcement directing applicants to review Section IV for specific submission instructions). The opportunity was archived on June 1, 2014. For access issues related to the full announcement, EPA listed a point of contact: Kathleen Drake at (212) 637-3817.
