Opportunity Summary:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through its Great Lakes National Program Office (GLNPO), offered a discretionary cooperative agreement to fund the management and day-to-day operation of the Integrated Atmospheric Deposition Network (IADN) for a five-year period running from October 1, 2009, through September 30, 2014. The core purpose of the opportunity was to keep IADN functioning as the Great Lakes regions long-running binational monitoring network for tracking how pollutants in the air are deposited into the Great Lakes ecosystem. In addition to supporting the base program, the announcement also left room for the recipient to carry out special studies and make targeted enhancements to strengthen the network, methods, or data products as needs emerged.
IADN is specifically tied to major policy drivers: it is called for under Annex 15 of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement (GLWQA) and also aligns with the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Programmatically, IADN is a cooperative U.S.-Canada effort between U.S. EPA and Environment Canada focused on estimating atmospheric deposition of persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic pollutants (PBTs) to the Great Lakes. In practical terms, the network serves as a shared platform for monitoring, surveillance, and research that helps agencies understand how much pollution is coming from the atmosphere, how it varies over time and location, and how those inputs may affect the lakes and surrounding communities. The work supports science-based decision making for Great Lakes protection by generating consistent, comparable measurements that can inform trends analysis and policy evaluations.
The funding structure was designed as a single expected award with multi-year potential support. Applicants were asked to propose up to $760,000 for Year 1, with four additional years of potential funding (roughly inflation-adjusted), for an estimated total of up to $5,000,000 over five years. The award ceiling and estimated total funding were both listed as $5,000,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated in the summary information. Because this was a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, EPA anticipated substantial involvement in the project, which is typical when an agency expects to collaborate on technical direction, coordination, and program oversight for a major monitoring network.
Eligibility was limited to public and nonprofit entities. The announcement indicated that state pollution control agencies, interstate agencies, and other public or nonprofit private agencies, institutions, and organizations could apply, while for-profit organizations were not eligible. Colleges and universities were also eligible as long as they were subject to the applicable federal assistance regulations (40 CFR Parts 30 or 31, as referenced in the notice). The opportunity was listed under CFDA 66.469 (Great Lakes Program), with the activity category described as environmental work.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted in July 2009, with an application closing date of August 17, 2009, and an archive date of September 16, 2009. The funding opportunity number was EPA-R5-GL2009-3, and only one award was expected. Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement for detailed submission requirements and due dates, particularly the instructions in Section IV. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Lawrence Brail at (312) 886-7474.
