About this program
The Environmental Protection Agency operates the Regional Environmental Priority Projects program (CFDA 66.111) to support investigations, experiments, training, demonstrations, surveys, and studies protecting public health and preventing pollution in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska, with the most recent grant award dated October 1, 2007.
This program is inactive. Grant activity ended in 2007, with no awards disbursed in the past 19 years. The portfolio comprises 12 Project Grants awarded between February 2006 and October 2007, totaling $989 thousand in federal dollars obligated (combined total of $1.5 million including non-federal cost-share). The EPA was the sole funding source. No recent grant opportunities are open or posted.
Funded projects addressed regional environmental priorities through single- or multimedia approaches. Representative awards include Boise State University's satellite environmental finance center to assist small communities and businesses in Region 7 ($407,300); a public outreach effort to test domestic well water for nitrate levels in rural communities ($25,031); nutrient management plan implementation ($160,126); total maximum daily load bacteria education ($90,000); atrazine removal from agricultural runoff ($141,928); urban watershed best management practices ($128,120); and the Yellow River Watershed Improvement Project ($327,000). Projects emphasized prevention, agriculture, collaborative stakeholder engagement, and environmental results.
All 12 awards were Project Grants with no Cooperative Agreements or other assistance types. Typical award magnitudes ranged from approximately $15,000 to $407,000. Award frequency declined sharply: nine awards in 2006, then only three in 2007, followed by cessation.
The program description references fiscal years 2010 and 2011 with language stating "Currently there is no funding available in FY 2010," signaling the program's dormancy. This is not an active funding opportunity for pursuit.
Objective and description
- Objective
To support investigations, experiments, training, demonstrations, surveys, studies, and special purpose assistance to protect public health and prevent, reduce, and eliminate pollution in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. Projects may be single media or multimedia which support the regional environmental priorities. Single media grants support pollution prevention efforts for individual environmental law statutes. Multimedia grants are assistance agreements that are awarded citing two or more environmental law statutes, appropriation legislation, or applicable legislative history as the statutory authority. Funding Priority - Fiscal Year 2010: Funded projects will focus on the regional environmental priorities and include unique, geographically-based projects that support the Agency's ability to protect human health and the environment. These projects may address places, sectors, or innovative projects, and focus on prevention, agriculture, climate change and energy, and/or collaborative efforts to protect human health and the environment and achieve environmental results. These projects may also demonstrate state, local, and/or other stakeholder participation; identify opportunities for leveraging other sources of funding; or support smart growth planning in communities. Smart growth projects are those focused on improving the quality of life in communities by integrating the tenets of ecology, equity and management by citizens. Currently there is no funding available in FY 2010. Funding Priority - Fiscal Year 2011: Funded projects will focus on the regional environmental priorities and include unique, geographically-based projects that support the Agency's ability to protect human health and the environment.

These projects may also demonstrate state, local and other stakeholder participation; identify opportunities for leveraging other sources of funding; or support smart growth planning in communities. Smart growth projects are those focused on improving the quality of life in communities by integrating the tenets of ecology, equity and management by citizens.
