Opportunity Summary:
The Raritan River Initiative is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) discretionary grant opportunity, offered as a cooperative agreement, intended to fund a single project focused on the lower and middle reaches of the Raritan River. The core purpose is to support a study that identifies and assesses sites and potential sources of pollution that may be affecting these parts of the river. Rather than funding new, stand-alone sampling campaigns by default, the opportunity emphasizes pulling together and analyzing existing information to build a clearer picture of where contamination may be coming from and which locations may be contributing to water quality problems.
A central expectation of the project is data compilation and integration. The selected recipient is expected to gather and organize information from a wide range of existing sources, including but not limited to previously identified site and source lists referenced in the announcement. A key requirement is that the work should build on ongoing data management efforts and avoid duplicating work that has already been done. In practice, this means the project should function as a synthesis and gap-filling effort: collecting scattered datasets, standardizing or reconciling them where possible, and using them to identify likely pollution contributors and priority areas for future attention.
Applicants are specifically directed to consult Raritan-related data projects compiled by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), accessible through NOAA's Query Manager website (http://response.restoration.noaa.gov/querymanager). Beyond NOAA resources, the project is also expected to incorporate relevant information from the EPA, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), municipalities within the Raritan watershed, and other local or regional entities. The announcement also points to universities and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) as important sources of sampling and monitoring data, reflecting an expectation that the study will draw on both government and non-government research and monitoring efforts. The applicant may also include other datasets they consider important, as long as the approach remains additive and coordinated with existing initiatives.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on March 20, 2012, with an application closing date of April 23, 2012, and an archive date of May 23, 2012. The EPA anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000 and an award ceiling of $100,000 (with no stated minimum award floor). The funding falls under CFDA 66.436 (Surveys, Studies, Investigations, Demonstrations, and Training Grants and Cooperative Agreements) and is authorized under Section 104(b)(3). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated in the listing.
Eligibility is described generally as "Others" with additional eligibility details provided in the full announcement (Section III), meaning applicants needed to consult the complete solicitation to confirm whether their organization type qualified. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed EPA contact was Alyssa Arcaya (arcaya.alyssa@epa.gov).
