This federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Voluntary School and Child Care Lead Testing and Reduction Grant Program (CFDA 66.444) provides $1,001,000.00 to the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board (NPAIHB) to implement a program of voluntary testing for lead in drinking water at 104 tribal schools and child care centers in Oregon, Idaho, and Washington. The key activities funded through this grant include testing of all water outlets used for consumption, training local staff on sampling procedures, developing sampling and remediation plans, establishing data management systems, and conducting outreach and education. The expected outcome is to ensure safe drinking water at these tribal facilities, ultimately benefiting the American Indian and Alaska Native children and staff who occupy them. The grant period runs from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2029.
