Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA REG1 17 01
The FY17 and FY18 Region 1 Wetland Program Development Grants (Funding Opportunity Number EPA REG1 17 01) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to help governments in EPA Region 1 strengthen wetland programs. The focus of the opportunity is program development and improvement: applicants are expected to propose work that develops, refines, or otherwise advances state, tribal, or local wetland program capacity, consistent with the wetland program development objectives described in the announcement's Funding Opportunity Description section. The overall intent is to support better wetland protection and management through stronger governmental programs rather than through stand-alone, one-off project work that is not tied to building or improving program systems.
Eligible applicants are limited to governmental and government-linked entities. States, tribes, local government agencies, interstate agencies, and intertribal consortia may apply. Universities can apply only if they are actually an agency of a state government, and proposals from such universities must include documentation showing that the institution is chartered as part of state government. Non-profit organizations are explicitly not eligible to compete under this request for proposals, which is an important screening point for anyone considering partnership structures or fiscal sponsorship arrangements.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as an environmental grant under CFDA 66.461 and uses the standard grant instrument type. The funding opportunity was created on March 10, 2017, with an original closing date of May 1, 2017, and applicants were directed to consult the full announcement (including the submission instructions in Section IV) for complete requirements. EPA anticipated making around 20 awards under this competition, with an award ceiling of $400,000 per award, indicating that proposals could range in size up to that maximum depending on the scope and the available funds.
In practical terms, this solicitation is best understood as capacity-building support for government wetland programs in Region 1, with funds intended to help eligible agencies improve how they plan, manage, assess, protect, and regulate wetlands as part of a broader programmatic approach. Applicants needed to frame their proposals around measurable improvements to governmental wetland program functions and provide the eligibility documentation required for any entity that is not plainly a state, tribal, or local government agency (particularly state-chartered universities).Apply for EPA REG1 17 01
