Opportunity Summary:
The Healthy Indoor Environments (2011) grant opportunity was a discretionary funding competition run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), specifically EPA Region 6, to support practical projects that reduce public exposure to common indoor environmental hazards. The program was set up to fund on-the-ground efforts that improve indoor air quality and reduce health risks tied to indoor environments, with a clear emphasis on asthma-related education and environmental management. Funding was provided through a cooperative agreement, which typically means EPA expected to have some level of involvement or partnership during the project period rather than simply issuing a no-touch grant.
The solicitation focused on projects that addressed at least one of three priority areas. The first priority was outreach and training that leads to effective Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) management practices in schools, aiming to help schools adopt and maintain healthier indoor environments through proven management approaches. The second priority centered on educating people with asthma and/or their caregivers about environmental triggers, with interventions that could take place in homes, daycare settings, community locations, and schools. The third priority area targeted workforce and capacity building by training healthcare professionals, community workers, and other trained individuals on environmental management of asthma so they could better counsel and support individuals living with asthma. Across all three areas, the underlying goal was to translate indoor environmental health knowledge into day-to-day practices that reduce exposure and improve respiratory health outcomes.
EPA anticipated making about five awards under this opportunity, with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $25,000 (award floor) to $50,000 (award ceiling). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowered barriers for organizations that could implement strong projects but did not have additional funds to contribute. The funding was associated with CFDA number 66.034, which covers surveys, studies, research, investigations, demonstrations, and special purpose activities related to the Clean Air Act, reflecting the programmatic connection between indoor air concerns and broader air quality and public health protections.
The opportunity was posted and created on March 7, 2011, and the application closing date was April 21, 2011, with the notice directing applicants to review the full announcement (including Section IV) for specific due dates and submission instructions. The opportunity was later archived on May 21, 2011. Eligibility was listed generally as "Others" with further clarification and requirements provided in Section III of the official announcement, meaning applicants needed to consult the full document to confirm whether their organization type and project approach met EPA Region 6 requirements.
For assistance accessing the full announcement, EPA provided a point of contact: Stacy Murphy at (214) 665-7116.
