Opportunity Summary:
The FY16 and FY17 Region 08 Wetland Program Development Grants (Funding Opportunity Number EPA REG08 16 01) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency focused on strengthening wetland programs run by public agencies. The core purpose is to help eligible applicants build, improve, or refine wetland program capacity at the state, tribal, and local government level, consistent with the wetland program development goals described in the announcement's funding opportunity description. In practical terms, the grant is intended to support the development of more effective wetland management programs, including the kinds of foundational improvements that allow agencies to plan, implement, and sustain wetland protection and restoration work over time.
Funding is provided through either a grant or a cooperative agreement, under the environmental assistance listing CFDA 66.461. The opportunity was posted on March 18, 2016, and had a closing date of May 16, 2016. EPA anticipated making up to 22 awards under this announcement, with an award ceiling of $250,000 per award, indicating the program was designed to support multiple projects across the region rather than a small number of very large awards.
Eligibility is limited to government and government-associated entities. Eligible applicants include states, tribes, local government agencies, interstate agencies, and intertribal consortia. Universities may apply only if they are considered an agency of a state government, and they must provide documentation in the proposal demonstrating they are chartered as part of state government. Non-profit organizations are explicitly not eligible to compete under this request for proposals, which narrows the applicant pool to public-sector and intergovernmental entities.
