Opportunity Summary:
This EPA Headquarters funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number EPA HQ OPPT 08 010) is a discretionary grant competition run by the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics to secure outside support for the Community Action for a Renewed Environment (CARE) Program Annual Training Workshop. The CARE workshop is an annual event designed to strengthen a community-based, community-driven partnership program that helps local communities better understand and reduce risks from toxics and environmental pollutants, regardless of the source. The central purpose of the workshop is capacity building: helping CARE participants and partners work more effectively and collaboratively within communities, learn and apply new approaches, build on proven concepts, and spark innovation in environmental programs and practices.
EPA expects to make a single award under this solicitation, and the award will be made as a cooperative agreement, meaning EPA anticipates substantial involvement in the funded project rather than a hands-off grant relationship. The total anticipated funding is $150,000 over a two-year period, with incremental funding planned. Approximately $75,000 is expected to be provided in the first year, with the remainder anticipated to follow based on the agreement structure and continuation into year two. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which can lower barriers for eligible organizations that may not have flexible funds available to meet a match.
Eligibility is described broadly but is not limited to one narrow applicant type. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, county governments, and city or township governments. The listing also includes an "Others" category, with the note that applicants should consult the full announcement, particularly Section III, for clarification and any additional eligibility conditions or definitions. In practice, that typically means some entities not explicitly listed may still qualify if they meet the criteria explained in the detailed eligibility section of the full notice.
Key dates indicate this was a time-limited competition posted on August 20, 2008, with an original and current closing date of October 3, 2008, and an archive date of November 2, 2008. Applicants were instructed to refer to the full announcement, especially Section IV, for the specific submission methods, required forms, formatting, and any time-of-day deadline details that often determine whether an application is considered on time and complete. For anyone unable to access the full announcement electronically, the EPA provided a point of contact: Daria Willis at (202) 566-2217.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as EPA seeking one partner organization to plan and support delivery of the CARE Annual Training Workshop over a two-year project period, using federal funding to improve training, collaboration, and innovation among CARE communities and stakeholders focused on reducing toxic and pollutant risks.
