Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA OW OWOW 20 04
The Fiscal Year 2020 and Fiscal Year 2021 National Wetland Program Development Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number EPA-OW-OWOW-20-04) is a discretionary EPA funding program designed to strengthen how wetlands are managed and protected through better government wetland programs. EPA is inviting proposals for projects that build, improve, or fine-tune wetland programs run by states, tribes, or local governments. Applicants can propose work that upgrades an entire wetland program or focuses on a specific program element, as long as the proposed project aligns with the National Priority Area described in Section I.B of the official announcement. In practical terms, the program is aimed at improving the systems, tools, and capacity that public agencies use to monitor wetlands, regulate and manage impacts, restore or protect wetland resources, and coordinate wetland policy and implementation.
Awards are offered through either grants or cooperative agreements, meaning EPA may have a more involved role in project oversight and collaboration depending on the award type selected. The funding activity category is Environment, and the assistance listing (CFDA) number is 66.462. The maximum award amount listed is $220,000, and EPA anticipated making about six awards under this competition. While the notice indicates that eligible applicants fall under an "Others" category, it also directs interested parties to consult the announcement text for the detailed eligibility rules and any clarifications about which entities can apply and under what conditions. Applications were originally due January 12, 2021, with the announcement noting that submission details and any additional instructions are provided in Section IV of the funding notice.
Overall, the opportunity is geared toward tangible program development outcomes rather than isolated on-the-ground construction projects. Competitive proposals typically fit the intent of helping governments run more effective wetland programs by improving planning, assessment methods, monitoring strategies, data and mapping systems, regulatory or administrative processes, interagency coordination, staff capability, and similar foundational pieces that make wetland protection and management more consistent and effective over time. The emphasis on addressing the National Priority Area signals that EPA wanted applicants to concentrate their work on the specific high-value needs identified for that funding cycle, rather than proposing unrelated wetland activities.Apply for EPA OW OWOW 20 04
