The Environmental Protection Agency Region 7 awarded Kansas State University a $130,000 two-year Project Grant under the Source Reduction Assistance (SRA) program (CFDA 66.717). The grant will support technical assistance to help 10 small-to-medium sized Kansas hospitals reduce greenhouse gas emissions and hazardous waste. Key activities include training at two hospital association conferences, on-site reviews of energy use at selected facilities, and developing customized energy savings and waste reduction plans with interns and mentors. The University will document and publish successful procedures for participating hospitals to facilitate meeting the state's goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 50% by 2030. No subawards are included. The award aligns with the regional priority of preventing greenhouse gas emissions and is expected to benefit rural communities served by the participating hospitals.
