Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA OW OWOW 19 02
The FY19 Tribal Wetland Program Development Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number EPA-OW-OWOW-19-02) is a discretionary funding competition run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to help strengthen tribal capacity to build, improve, or refine wetland programs. The central purpose is program development: supporting tribes in establishing or enhancing the structures, strategies, and technical capabilities needed to manage and protect wetlands in tribal areas, consistent with the program elements described in the announcement's Section I (Funding Opportunity Description). In practical terms, this kind of funding is aimed at helping eligible tribal applicants move their wetland efforts forward in an organized, sustainable way, such as by developing core program frameworks, improving assessment and monitoring approaches, strengthening planning and management tools, and otherwise building the foundational pieces that allow a tribal wetland program to function effectively over time.
Funding is provided through EPA assistance mechanisms, specifically grants and cooperative agreements, under the environmental assistance CFDA number 66.461. The maximum award amount listed is $250,000 per award, and EPA anticipated making about 14 awards under this solicitation. Because the instrument type includes cooperative agreements, applicants should generally expect that EPA may have substantial involvement in the funded work (for example, collaboration on project direction, deliverables, or technical coordination), depending on the terms and conditions of the specific award.
Eligibility is limited to tribes and intertribal consortia, as described in the announcement. While the eligible applicant field is summarized as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the narrative makes clear that tribal governments and intertribal consortia are the intended eligible applicants. The announcement explicitly states that non-profit organizations are not eligible to compete under this request for applications (RFA), which is an important restriction for entities that might otherwise partner on wetland-related work. Nonprofits may still potentially participate as contractors or collaborators if allowed by the applicant and EPA rules, but they cannot apply as the lead eligible entity under this competition.
Key timeline details include a creation/posting date of March 19, 2019, with an original application closing date of May 3, 2019. The solicitation also directs applicants to review Section IV of the announcement for detailed submission instructions, which typically covers how and where to submit, required forms and attachments, formatting requirements, and any registration prerequisites that could affect timely submission.Apply for EPA OW OWOW 19 02
