Opportunity Summary:

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) funding opportunity titled "Training Workshop Support Activities for the State Revolving Fund (SRF) Programs" (Funding Opportunity Number EPA OW OWM 14 01) is a discretionary cooperative agreement aimed at supporting the EPA's national training efforts for the two major SRF programs: the Clean Water State Revolving Fund and the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund. The core purpose is to fund an organization that can help EPA deliver consistent, high-quality workshop programming focused on infrastructure financing and technical training related to SRF implementation.

The work supported by this grant centers on four annual National SRF Infrastructure Financing and Training Workshops. The selected recipient would be responsible for end-to-end workshop support activities, including planning and coordinating logistics, preparing workshop materials and agendas, and providing technical and administrative support that helps the workshops run smoothly. These workshops are intended to strengthen the capacity of SRF stakeholders by sharing best practices, clarifying program and financing concepts, and improving practical understanding of how SRF resources can be used to fund water infrastructure projects.

A notable feature of this opportunity is that awarded funds may also be used to encourage attendance and broaden participation. Specifically, the recipient may use the grant to support travel expenses for non-federal personnel who attend the workshops. That emphasis suggests EPA is trying to ensure key state and local participants, practitioners, and partners can take part even when travel budgets are limited, which can improve knowledge transfer and help standardize effective SRF practices across states and communities.

From a funding and award structure standpoint, EPA anticipated making a single award under this announcement. The estimated total funding available was $380,000, with an award ceiling of $95,000 (and an award floor of $0). The assistance instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means EPA expects substantial involvement during the project period, such as collaborating on planning, reviewing deliverables, and coordinating how workshop content and logistics align with federal program priorities. There is no cost-share or matching requirement listed for this opportunity.

The opportunity falls under CFDA 66.436 (Surveys, Studies, Investigations, Demonstrations, and Training Grants and Cooperative Agreements) and references Section 104(b)(3), indicating it aligns with EPA's broader authority to support training and related capacity-building activities. Eligibility is not fully specified in the excerpt and is described as "Others" with a direction to consult Section III of the full announcement for exact eligibility requirements and any limitations.

Key dates show that the opportunity was posted and created on April 29, 2014, with an application deadline (closing date) of June 13, 2014, and an archive date of July 13, 2014. Applicants were instructed to review the full announcement, especially Section IV, for official submission procedures and any additional due date details.
