Opportunity Summary:

The American Indian Air Quality Training Program (AIAQTP) grant opportunity is an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) funding notice seeking one organization to serve as the primary provider of training and technical assistance for tribal air quality efforts. The overall purpose is to strengthen tribal governments ability to investigate air quality issues, build the foundations of air programs, and operate air quality management activities on lands under tribal jurisdiction. Rather than funding routine air program operations directly, this opportunity centers on building capacity through structured learning and hands-on support, including workshops, internships, and ongoing technical guidance that tribes can apply to real-world monitoring and program development.

A key part of the work described in the announcement is operating and supporting the Tribal Air Monitoring Support Center, which functions as a component of AIAQTP. This center is described as a partnership between the eventual grant recipient and EPA's Office of Air and Radiation, and it is hosted by EPA's Radiation and Indoor Environments National (RIEL) laboratory in Las Vegas. The intent is to provide tribes with a broad, practical spectrum of technical support related to air monitoring and associated activities, meaning help with the kinds of tasks that come up when setting up and running monitoring projects, interpreting results, and connecting monitoring work to longer-term air program planning.

The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means EPA expects substantial involvement during the project, including coordination on priorities and deliverables. The opportunity is listed as discretionary funding under the environment category, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,530,000 and an expectation of a single award. There is no cost share or matching requirement stated in the summary data provided, which lowers the barrier for eligible applicants that may not have non-federal funds available to contribute.

Eligibility spans several types of applicants, including federally recognized Native American tribal governments, state governments, county and city/township governments, private institutions of higher education, and public or state-controlled institutions of higher education, along with "others" as clarified in the full announcement. The notice points applicants to Section III of the full solicitation for the precise eligibility rules and any additional constraints, so prospective applicants would need to verify that they fit EPA's definitions and any partnership or capacity expectations described there.

Administratively, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number EPA OAR IO 10 01 and is associated with CFDA 66.037, titled "Internships, Training and Workshops for the Office of Air and Radiation." It was posted on January 7, 2010, with an application closing date of February 26, 2010, and it was archived on March 28, 2010. The announcement notes that applicants should rely on the full solicitation for official submission methods, deadlines, and instructions, especially details in Section IV. For access issues with the full announcement, the contact listed is Darrel Harmon at (202) 564-7416.
