Region 8 Fiscal Year 2022 Sustainable Materials Management Grant
Region 8 Fiscal Year 2022 Sustainable Materials Management Grant
Funding Opportunity Description
EPA Region 8 is requesting applications that address the national and regional priority of decreasing the environmental impact of materials with a focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This funding opportunity is designed to both decrease materials generated (source reduction) and increase the diversion of materials through reuse, recycling, and other strategies. Currently, there is inadequate infrastructure in the Mountains and Plains Region (EPA Region 8) to support these goals. Applications must directly benefit at least one of the EPA Region 8 States (Colorado, North Dakota, Montana, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming) or one of the 28 tribal nations in the Region.
Award Information
The total estimated funding for this competitive funding opportunity is approximately $40,000. EPA Region 8 anticipates funding up to one to two cooperative agreements from this announcement, ranging in value from $10,000 to $25,000. The number of awards will depend on the quality of applications received and fiscal year program funds available.
Refer to the Request for Applications (RFA) for eligibility, submission requirements and instructions, evaluation criteria, and additional important information.
