Opportunity Summary:
The FY14 Region 4 Wetland Program Development Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number EPA-REG04-14-01) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under CFDA 66.461, focused on strengthening wetland programs run by state, tribal, and local governments. The central purpose of these Wetland Program Development Grants (WPDGs) is to help eligible applicants build, upgrade, or refine the underlying capacity and tools that make wetland protection programs effective over the long term. In practical terms, the competition is aimed at projects that improve how wetland programs are designed and managed, including better coordination and faster progress in wetland-related research, investigations, training, demonstrations, surveys, and studies tied to water pollution concerns such as causes, effects, extent, prevention, reduction, and elimination.
A key point in this announcement is that proposals must be program-development focused rather than implementation focused. EPA is looking for projects that develop the framework of wetland programs (for example, improving methods, building institutional capacity, enhancing planning, strengthening assessment approaches, or refining program processes). Activities that amount to implementing on-the-ground wetland protection programs are explicitly not eligible under this RFP. In other words, the grant is intended to help governments improve the way they run wetland programs, not to directly carry out wetland protection actions as an operational program activity under this specific announcement.
The opportunity was posted on February 19, 2014, with an application deadline of April 4, 2014, and it was archived on May 4, 2014. EPA Region 4 anticipated making about 8 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,094,300 available across the competition. Individual awards could be as large as $500,000, and the listed award floor is $0, meaning the announcement did not set a minimum award amount in the summary data provided. Cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants needed to plan for a portion of project costs to be covered through non-federal resources, with the specific expectations and rules referenced as being detailed in the full announcement (particularly the sections covering eligibility and application requirements).
Eligibility is described broadly in the summary as “Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification),†with EPA directing applicants to Section III of the full announcement for the complete eligibility criteria and details. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is environment. Applicants were instructed to consult the full announcement, including Section IV, for exact submission methods and any deadline-related details.
For support or access issues with the full announcement, the EPA Region 4 contact listed is Morgan Jackson, reachable at 404-562-9393 or Jackson.morgan@epa.gov, with the mailing address at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4, Atlanta Federal Center, 15th Floor, 61 Forsyth Street, SW, Atlanta, GA 30303.
