Opportunity Summary:
The Region 9 Wetland Program Development Grants (WPDGs) opportunity is an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) discretionary funding program designed to help eligible public agencies strengthen and expand wetland programs that ultimately reduce and prevent water pollution. The program supports projects that improve how wetland-related work is planned and carried out by funding efforts such as research, investigations, experiments, training, demonstrations, surveys, and studies. In practical terms, the grant is meant to help applicants build capacity, improve coordination among programs and partners, and speed up progress on understanding wetland conditions and the pollution-related problems wetlands can help address.
A key point in this announcement is that WPDGs can be used to build or refine any part of a comprehensive wetland program, but applications may be more competitive if they clearly address EPA priorities. The national priorities highlighted in the notice include: Wetland Program Planning Based on the Four Core Elements; Regulation Enhancing Wetland Protection; and Monitoring and Assessment. The announcement also notes that there are regional priorities described in Section I of the full Funding Opportunity Description, and aligning with one or more of these priorities may improve the likelihood of selection because those factors are tied to the application review considerations referenced for Section V.
Funding is provided through grants and cooperative agreements under CFDA 66.461 (Regional Wetland Program Development Grants). The estimated total funding available under this opportunity is $1,914,000, with an expected 15 awards. Individual award amounts are anticipated to range from a floor of $50,000 to a ceiling of $350,000. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients should expect to contribute a portion of project costs through eligible match sources as specified in the full announcement.
Eligibility is limited to governmental and certain public entities. Eligible applicants include state governments, federally recognized tribal governments, county governments, and city or township governments. The announcement also indicates that interstate agencies and intertribal consortia are eligible, and that universities can apply only if they are agencies of state government. Nonprofit organizations are explicitly not eligible to compete under this request for proposals, which is an important screening factor for potential applicants deciding whether to invest time in preparing a submission. The notice directs applicants to consult Section III of the full announcement for additional eligibility details and conditions.
