Grant Description

The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Chesapeake Bay Program Office, is announcing a request for proposals for support of the Chesapeake Bay Innovative Nutrient and Sediment Reduction Program for 2010-2016. This is a new announcement that has not previously been distributed. The Chesapeake Bay Innovative Nutrient and Sediment Reduction Program (the Program) is a competitive grant program to support efforts within the Chesapeake Bay watershed to vastly accelerate nutrient and sediment reductions with innovative, sustainable and cost-effective approaches. This RFP sets forth the process that will be used to select a grant recipient who will develop and implement the Program, with the primary focus of making subawards to organizations to meet the specified expected environmental results of the program. An estimated $6 million to $10 million is expected to be available annually for a six year period, depending upon funding availability, the amount of fiscal year funds ultimately received in the Agency’s operating plan, and the quality of proposals received. EPA plans to award one agreement under this announcement.
