Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA OITA 2023 001
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through its Office of International and Tribal Affairs (OITA), is offering a discretionary funding opportunity to support a large, collaborative international program focused on strengthening environmental governance. The core purpose is to build the capacity of institutions that carry out environmental and related functions, with an emphasis on helping partner countries and regions meet and implement environmental commitments that align with United States Government Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) and other bilateral environmental cooperation efforts. In practical terms, this opportunity is aimed at improving how environmental laws, regulations, policies, and institutions are designed, implemented, enforced, and coordinated so that environmental protections keep pace with trade-related growth and cross-border economic activity.
This grant is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the EPA expects to be substantially involved in the project during implementation rather than acting only as a pass-through funder. The program scope is intentionally broad and geographically flexible, covering multiple regions tied to U.S. trade and cooperation priorities, including Central America and the Caribbean, South America, and the Middle East and North Africa. It also allows work under other bilateral initiatives beyond FTAs, explicitly referencing ongoing or potential collaborations involving Mexico, China, Indonesia, Taiwan, Sub-Saharan Africa, Ukraine, and Brazil. This wide regional framing suggests the selected recipient is expected to operate as a central implementing partner that can manage complex, multi-country engagement and adapt activities to differing institutional contexts.
Funding is substantial and appears designed for a single lead implementer. The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $7,000,000 with one expected award, indicating the EPA intends to fund one comprehensive program rather than multiple smaller projects. The funding activity category is Environment, and the associated CFDA (assistance listing) number is 66.931. The opportunity number is EPA OITA 2023 001, originally posted on January 17, 2023, with an original closing date of March 1, 2023 (with the note to consult the funding announcement’s Section IV for any updates or detailed submission timing).
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with additional clarification to be found in the full announcement’s eligibility section. This typically signals that the EPA may allow applications from a range of non-federal entities such as nonprofit organizations, universities, research institutions, or other qualified organizations that can demonstrate the technical expertise, international program management capacity, and partnership networks needed to deliver governance-focused assistance across multiple countries or regions.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a high-value, single-award cooperative agreement to create or expand an international environmental governance capacity-building platform. The winning applicant would likely be expected to coordinate with EPA and relevant partner institutions abroad, support institutional strengthening, and deliver technical cooperation that improves environmental governance outcomes in ways that complement U.S. trade-related environmental objectives and broader bilateral engagement priorities.Apply for EPA OITA 2023 001
