Opportunity Summary:
This EPA funding opportunity, issued by the Great Lakes National Program Office (GLNPO), sought proposals under two related but distinct topic areas: Great Lakes Pollution Prevention and Reduction, and Rochester Remedial Action Plan (RAP) Management. The overall intent was to fund on-the-ground projects and management efforts that would measurably support Great Lakes environmental protection goals, either by preventing pollution at the source and reducing pollutant loads or by strengthening the planning, coordination, and implementation work tied to the Rochester RAP.
The agency expected to award roughly $1,000,000 total through an estimated 5 to 10 awards. Individual awards were anticipated to range from about $50,000 to $500,000, with $50,000 listed as the award floor and $500,000 as the award ceiling. Funding could be provided either as grants or cooperative agreements, meaning some projects might involve a more collaborative relationship with EPA during implementation (typical of cooperative agreements) while others could be structured more like traditional grant-funded work.
Eligibility was focused on public and nonprofit capacity rather than commercial entities. State pollution control agencies, interstate agencies, and other public or nonprofit private agencies, institutions, and organizations were eligible to apply, while for-profit organizations were explicitly ineligible. Colleges and universities were also eligible, with the announcement noting applicability of federal administrative requirements under 40 CFR 30 or 31 (depending on the type of institution and funding relationship). The listing directed applicants to Section III of the full announcement for the complete set of eligibility details and any additional constraints or definitions.
Administratively, the opportunity was categorized as a discretionary environmental funding program under CFDA 66.469 (Great Lakes Program) and did not require cost sharing or matching funds. The funding opportunity number was EPA-R5-GL2008-4. The opportunity was posted April 22, 2008, with a closing date of June 10, 2008 (with instructions to consult Section IV of the full announcement for exact submission methods and deadline details). The archive date was July 10, 2008. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the contact provided was Lawrence Brail at (312) 886-7474.
In practical terms, applicants were being invited to propose projects that align with one of the two named topics, compete for a relatively modest pool of total funding, and demonstrate they had the organizational standing (public or nonprofit) and capacity to carry out Great Lakes pollution prevention/reduction work or Rochester RAP management activities consistent with EPA priorities described in the full solicitation.
