Grant Description

Under this RFP, EPA expects to fund one proposal for the coordination of a national network of eight regional pollution prevention information centers (referred to as Regional centers in this document), which are collectively known as the Pollution Prevention Resource Exchange (P2Rx). Under CFDA 66.717 grant may be awarded to support pollution prevention/source reduction and/or resource conservation projects that help to eliminate pollution at the source. The Regional centers collaborate with State and local technical assistance providers to share pollution prevention (P2) information and training nationwide. The coordinator shall be able to provide leadership in the following areas: 1) measurement and evaluation of center activities and outcomes, 2) promoting efficiency and supporting information technology among the centers, and 3) assisting centers in marketing their services. Documenting the effectiveness of the Regional centers will be crucial in the next two years, to respond to recommendations from the 2008 evaluation of the program.
