Opportunity Summary:
The FY15 and FY16 Region 2 Wetland Program Development Grants is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intended to help government entities build, improve, or refine wetland programs. The focus is on strengthening the capacity of state, tribal, and local wetland programs in ways that align with the program development goals described in the announcement's Funding Opportunity Description. Awards are offered as grants and/or cooperative agreements, meaning EPA may have an active role in overseeing or collaborating on certain project activities depending on the specific award terms.
This opportunity is tied to CFDA 66.461, Regional Wetland Program Development Grants, and it supports environmental program development work rather than direct construction or unrelated research. EPA anticipated making about 10 awards across the Region 2 service area, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,580,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $125,000 (award floor) to $395,000 (award ceiling). A cost sharing or matching contribution is required, so applicants needed to plan for non-federal resources to complement the EPA funds, consistent with the requirements laid out in the full announcement.
Eligibility is limited to governmental and government-linked entities. Eligible applicants include states, tribes, local government agencies, interstate agencies, and intertribal consortia. Universities can apply only if they are actually agencies of a state government, and proposals must include documentation showing the institution is chartered as part of state government. Nonprofit organizations are explicitly not eligible to apply under this request for proposals, so they could not compete as applicants, even if they work on wetlands or environmental conservation.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number EPA REG2 WPDG 15 16 and a posted date of April 23, 2015. The application deadline was June 19, 2015 (with the same date listed as the original and current closing date), and the opportunity was archived on July 19, 2015. Applicants were directed to the full announcement, including Section IV, for specific submission instructions and Section III for detailed eligibility requirements and any additional conditions.
