Opportunity Summary:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 9 grant opportunity titled "Indoor Environments Reducing Public Exposure to Indoor Pollutants" (Funding Opportunity Number EPA R9 AIR6 09 007) is a discretionary funding program designed to support practical, on-the-ground projects that lower people s exposure to harmful indoor air pollutants. The focus is specifically on K-12 school environments and residential homes, with an emphasis on projects that demonstrate workable approaches and build local capacity through training, outreach, and education. Applicants are allowed to propose work that targets one or multiple indoor air quality priority areas identified in the RFP, meaning a single project can tackle several indoor pollution issues at once if the plan is well-structured and results-oriented.
The funding is provided through grants and cooperative agreements under CFDA 66.034, which covers surveys, studies, research, investigations, demonstrations, and special purpose activities related to the Clean Air Act. In practice, that means EPA is looking for projects that do more than simply raise awareness; proposals should show how activities will translate into measurable environmental or public health related outcomes, such as improved indoor air practices in schools, better household exposure prevention behaviors, or implementation of tested strategies that reduce pollutant levels or reduce occupants contact with pollutants. The opportunity anticipates making about three awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $125,000 and an award ceiling of $15,000 per award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for smaller organizations and public entities that may not have additional funds to contribute.
Eligibility is broad but still limited to certain entity types. Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and other applicants as further clarified in the full announcement. A major geographic condition applies: all funded projects must be carried out within EPA Region 9 s jurisdiction, which includes California, Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada, and U.S. Pacific Island territories (including Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, along with other U.S. Pacific possessions). In addition, because EPA Region 9 is the lead region for the Navajo Nation, the RFP allows work anywhere within the Navajo Nation regardless of state boundaries, which is an important flexibility for tribal and partner organizations working across borders.
The grant timeline indicates the opportunity was posted on August 12, 2009, with a closing date of September 29, 2009, and an archive date of October 29, 2009. While those dates make this a historical listing rather than a currently open competition, the structure of the opportunity is still useful as a reference for understanding the kinds of indoor air quality projects EPA has funded, the target settings (schools and homes), and the preferred methods (demonstration plus training and outreach). Applicants are directed to consult the full announcement for submission procedures, required forms, and detailed eligibility and evaluation criteria, particularly Section III (eligibility) and Section IV (submission details and deadlines).
