This $499,437 Cooperative Agreement award from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Environmental Finance Center (EFC) Grants program (CFDA 66.203) provides funding to the New Growth Innovation Network (NGIN), a non-profit organization, to deliver technical assistance and capacity building support to underserved communities across the United States.
The key activities include community engagement, tailored training on program evaluation and evidence-building, and the development of community-led data equity plans/projects to improve these communities' ability to apply for and report on EPA grants. Additionally, NGIN will create and disseminate a nationwide 'playbook' summarizing insights from the technical assistance provided. The anticipated outcomes include empowering local data champions, increasing data fluency and capacity, and enhancing the preparedness of underserved communities to successfully apply for and meet the reporting requirements of EPA grants.
