Opportunity Summary:
The Region 5 Tribal Radon Grants Request For Proposals (RFP) for FY 2009 was a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to support radon-related public health and environmental work in Indian Country within EPA Region 5. The program authority cited for this funding includes the Indoor Radon Abatement Act (Section 306, 15 U.S.C. 2661) and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), Title I, Section 10(a). In practical terms, the opportunity was intended to help eligible Tribal governments and Tribal consortia build or strengthen radon risk reduction activities, consistent with the broader goals of identifying radon hazards and encouraging testing and mitigation to reduce exposure.
Eligibility was limited to federally recognized Native American Tribal governments and Tribal consortia located in EPA Region 5, which covers Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The announcement notes that applicants should consult Section III of the full solicitation for detailed eligibility conditions, but at a high level the focus was clearly on Region 5 Tribes and qualifying consortia operating in those states. The funding was issued under CFDA 66.032, State Indoor Radon Grants, adapted here for Tribal applicants within the Region 5 footprint.
EPA anticipated making up to three awards under this competition, with an estimated total funding amount of $135,000. The maximum (ceiling) amount for any single award was $45,000, which aligns with the expectation of three awards at the ceiling level. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the activity category was environment, reflecting the programmatic emphasis on indoor air quality and health protection. Importantly, the opportunity stated that there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of award (although applicants could still propose leveraging other resources if they chose).
The solicitation was posted and created on February 18, 2009, with an original and current closing date of April 17, 2009. The listing also indicated that prospective applicants needed to refer to the full announcement, especially Section IV, for the acceptable submission methods, specific due date instructions, and any additional procedural requirements. The opportunity was archived on May 17, 2009, which typically indicates the competition window had closed and the announcement was no longer active for new submissions.
For access issues or questions about the announcement, EPA provided a regional point of contact: Michael H. Murphy, Regional Radon Coordinator. The contact listing included a fax number (312-886-0617) and identified him as the person to reach if an applicant had difficulty obtaining the full announcement electronically.
