Air Pollution Control Research

The Environmental Protection Agency Office of Research and Development operates the Air Pollution Control Research program (CFDA 66.501), which has not awarded grants since May 2002. The program has distributed only two Project Grants totaling $100 thousand in federal dollars since its inception, with the most recent award occurring over 24 years ago. No recent grant opportunities have been posted under this Assistance Listing.

The two awarded grants funded air quality modeling and emissions research. The 2002 award supported expansion and enhancement of a comprehensive modal emissions model for light-duty vehicles. The 2000 award addressed ammonia and ammonium concentration monitoring under Section 103 of the Clean Air Act. Both were structured as Project Grants with completion dates within 12 months of award.

The program shows no active funding pipeline. Grant activity ceased in 2002, with only one award per year in the two years the portfolio captures. Combined federal dollars obligated remain minimal at $100 thousand across the entire award history in the available records. The Environmental Protection Agency Office of Research and Development is the sole funding agency under this Assistance Listing.

No current grant opportunities are listed. The absence of awards for more than two decades and the lack of recent solicitation activity suggest this program is not actively funding new research. Organizations evaluating pursuit under this Assistance Listing should confirm current program status directly with EPA's Office of Research and Development before investing in application development.
