Opportunity Summary:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Source Reduction Assistance (SRA) Grant Program is a discretionary funding opportunity designed to support practical pollution prevention projects that stop waste and pollution before they are created. The central focus is source reduction and resource conservation, meaning projects should change practices, processes, materials, or management approaches so that less pollution is generated in the first place. A key limitation is that the program is not meant to fund downstream approaches like recycling, treatment, disposal, or energy recovery as the primary strategy. In other words, EPA is looking for proposals that prevent pollution at the origin rather than managing it after it has already been produced.
For FY 2010, EPA indicated that its Regional Pollution Prevention (P2) Program Offices expected to have as much as $130,000 available per region to make SRA awards, though the final amounts were dependent on Congressional appropriations. Funding was to be awarded and administered by the individual EPA Regional P2 offices, and awards could be made either as grants or as cooperative agreements, depending on the level of EPA involvement anticipated during the project. The opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $1,300,000 across regions, with an expected number of awards around 300, suggesting that many awards could be relatively small and spread across a wide range of applicants and project types.
Award sizes were structured with a stated floor of $10,000 and a ceiling of $130,000. The program also required cost sharing or matching, meaning applicants needed to contribute a portion of the total project cost through cash or allowable in-kind contributions, as specified in the full solicitation. This matching requirement is typical of programs intended to leverage federal dollars and encourage commitment from the organizations implementing the work.
Eligibility was broad and included state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Educational institutions were also eligible, including both public/state-controlled colleges and universities and private institutions of higher education. Independent school districts were listed as eligible as well, along with other applicant types as described in the full announcement, with Section III referenced for the detailed eligibility rules and any restrictions.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on December 17, 2009, with an application closing date of February 4, 2010, and an archive date of March 6, 2010. The funding opportunity number was EPA-HQ-OPPT-2010-02, and the relevant CFDA number was 66.717 (Source Reduction Assistance). Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement, especially Section IV, for the official submission instructions, allowable methods of submission, and any region-specific due date details or procedural requirements. For help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Michele Amhaz at (202) 564-8857.
