The White Mountain Apache Tribe was awarded a $200,000 Project Grant from the Environmental Protection Agency Office of Administration and Resource Management to develop a centralized Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and integrated environmental data systems department through September 2025. Funded under the Environmental Protection Agency's Environmental Information Exchange Network Grant Program and Related Assistance (CFDA #66.608), the award will enhance the Tribe's information technology and data management capabilities to facilitate electronic collection, reporting, exchange, sharing, and integration of environmental protection data. Key products and services include establishing a new GIS and data systems entity; building staff capacity through knowledge sharing and training; and formalizing GIS and environmental user groups to improve systems and identify opportunities through regular meetings. The centralized department is expected to benefit White Mountain Apache Tribe environmental and land use program staff. No subawards are associated with this assistance agreement.
