Opportunity Summary:

The Puget Sound Scientific Studies and Technical Investigations Assistance Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 10, designed to fund targeted scientific studies and technical investigations that support environmental recovery efforts in Puget Sound. The core purpose is to generate and apply high-quality technical information that helps develop, monitor, evaluate, and refine the key implementation strategies laid out in the Puget Sound Action Agenda. In practical terms, EPA is looking for projects that produce credible data, analysis, and decision-support tools that can guide on-the-ground actions and track progress toward priority environmental outcomes in the Puget Sound ecosystem.

Awards under this announcement are issued as cooperative agreements, which typically means recipients should expect substantial involvement from EPA during the project. This may include coordination on study design, deliverables, data standards, or how results are communicated and used in the Action Agenda framework. The announcement also notes that funded projects may involve the collection of geospatial information, so applicants should be prepared to manage mapping or location-based data responsibly and in alignment with any applicable federal data requirements described in the full solicitation.

Funding for the program is significant, with an estimated total of $9,000,000 available and an expected 12 awards. Individual awards are projected to range from $200,000 (award floor) to $700,000 (award ceiling). The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can lower the barrier to participation for organizations that have strong technical capacity but limited ability to provide non-federal match.

Eligibility is not fully specified in the summary text and is described as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," with the solicitation directing applicants to Section III for detailed eligibility rules. As a result, any organization considering applying would need to consult the full announcement to confirm whether they qualify and to understand any restrictions or special conditions that apply to different applicant types.

Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number EPA R10 PS 1004 and CFDA number 66.123, associated with Puget Sound Action Agenda technical investigations and implementation assistance. The opportunity was posted on January 13, 2010, with the original closing date of March 2, 2010, later extended to a current closing date of March 9, 2010, and an archive date of April 8, 2010. The announcement emphasizes that applicants should rely on the full solicitation, especially Section IV, for official submission methods, due dates, and any required forms or procedural steps.
