Opportunity Summary:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through its Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP), issued a discretionary funding opportunity to fund technical support for the Tribal Pesticide Program Council (TPPC). The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the EPA expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The overall purpose is to provide ongoing technical assistance that helps the TPPC carry out its role related to pesticide issues affecting tribal communities and tribal pesticide programs over a multi-year period.
The performance period covered five years, running from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2020. Funding was intended to be provided annually (incremental funding), with the project continuing year to year based on the availability of appropriations, satisfactory performance, and other standard considerations. For the first budget period (July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016), EPA anticipated making available up to $300,000. For each of the following years, EPA anticipated incremental funding up to $200,000 per year, again contingent on funds and performance. Across the full five-year span, the estimated total funding and the maximum award ceiling were both listed as up to $1.1 million. In addition to cash funding, the EPA noted an in-kind contribution for meetings held at EPA offices: an estimated additional $4,000 per year in value for the use of EPA conference rooms and audiovisual equipment, if applicable.
Eligibility was broad and included states; U.S. territories or possessions; federally recognized Indian tribal governments; Native American organizations; public and private universities and colleges; hospitals and laboratories; other public or private nonprofit institutions; and local governments. The announcement indicates that applicants needed to consult the full solicitation (particularly Section III) for the complete eligibility rules and any clarifications or limitations. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted on April 7, 2015, with an application deadline (closing date) of May 21, 2015, and it was later archived on June 20, 2015. The opportunity anticipated making one award in total. It was categorized under environmental assistance, and it is associated with CFDA number 66.716 (Research, Development, Monitoring, Public Education, Training, Demonstrations, and Studies). The funding opportunity number was EPA OPP 2015 002. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed EPA contact was Mary Powell at the U.S. EPA Office of Pesticide Programs, with phone number 703-305-7384 and email powell.mary@epa.gov.
