Opportunity Summary:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through its Office of Air and Radiation and Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAR/OAQPS), issued a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Tribal Training Support for the Community and Tribal Air Quality Programs." The purpose of this grant is to fund an organization that can deliver training and hands-on technical support to tribal governments that are working to investigate air quality issues and build, develop, or strengthen air quality management programs on lands under tribal jurisdiction. In practical terms, the funded work is meant to help tribes gain the knowledge, skills, and program capacity needed to plan, implement, and sustain air quality activities, including the early steps of establishing a formal air program.
This opportunity uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which generally indicates EPA expects substantial involvement with the recipient during the project period compared with a standard grant. The funded activities fall under the environmental category and are connected to CFDA 66.037, labeled "Internships, Training and Workshops for the Office of Air and Radiation." There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
EPA anticipated making a single award under this announcement ("ExpectedAwards: 1"). The estimated total amount available was $200,000, with an award ceiling of $200,000 and an award floor of $75,000. This structure suggests EPA was open to proposals of varying scope as long as they met program needs, but the largest possible award would not exceed $200,000 and proposals below $75,000 would not meet the minimum funding threshold described in the notice.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the announcement directing applicants to consult Section III for detailed eligibility requirements and clarifications. That phrasing typically means eligibility is not limited only to state or local governments and may include other types of entities able to provide the required training and technical assistance, but the definitive criteria are contained in the full announcement rather than the summary fields. Applicants were instructed to follow the procedures in Section IV of the announcement for submission methods and due dates, indicating that the official notice includes specific application instructions, formatting, and any required forms or attachments.
Key dates for the competition were as follows: the opportunity was posted and created on May 18, 2012, and the application closing date was July 2, 2012 (both the original and current closing dates match). The opportunity was later archived on August 1, 2012, which typically indicates the competition window had ended and the listing was closed for new submissions.
For access issues related to the full announcement, EPA provided a point of contact: Regina Chappell, reachable by phone at 919-541-3650.
