About this opportunity
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 2 is issuing this funding opportunity to award Source Reduction Assistance in Communities (SRAC) grants. The grants will support research, investigation, experiments, multi-media service-learning approaches, studies, demonstrations, outreach, education, and training using source reduction or "pollution prevention" techniques. EPA is particularly interested in applications that offer practical pollution prevention tools, information, and innovative multi-media approaches to measurably improve public health and the environment in Region 2 states and communities. The grants will be evaluated on the applicant's ability to create, promote, and use new or existing pollution prevention tools, green technologies, financing approaches, and multi-stakeholder leadership to reduce hazardous substances, toxic pollutants, and resource use.
The anticipated total funding is up to $242,000, with individual grant awards ranging from $70,000 to $242,000. The project period is two years, with an optional third year to collect and report on results. The grants will be awarded to eligible applicants in the Region 2 states of New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and eight federally recognized Indian Nations.
Synopsis
EPA Region 2 is issuing this funding opportunity to fund Source Reduction Assistance in Communities (SRAC) grants that support research, investigation, experiments, multi-media service-learning approaches, studies, demonstrations, outreach, education, and training using source reduction approaches. EPA is particularly interested in receiving applications that offer hands-on practical pollution prevention referred to as "P2" tools, information and/or innovative P2 multi-media service-learning approaches to measurably improve public health and the surrounding environment, by reducing the use of hazardous substances, reducing toxic pollutants, supporting efficiencies in reducing resource use (e.g., water and energy), and reducing business expenditures and liability costs.
EPA Region 2 is interested in receiving applications for results-oriented and multi-media community based projects that are performed in and benefit States or communities within EPA Region 2 (New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and eight federally recognized Indian Nations). These applications should create, promote, and use new and/or existing P2 tools and information, green technology solutions, innovative financing partnerships or approaches, and multi-media and multistakeholder leadership approaches to measurably improve public health and the environment, by reducing the use of hazardous substances, reducing toxic pollutants, or supporting efficiencies in the reduction of pre-consumer resources (such as greenhouse gas emissions, plastics, water, and energy), and reducing beneficiary organization costs.
