Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA OAR IO 19 02
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through its Office of Air and Radiation (OAR), offered a discretionary funding opportunity titled NATIONAL TRIBAL AIR ASSOCIATION OPERATIONS (Funding Opportunity Number: EPA OAR IO 19 02). The grant is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the EPA expects to have substantial involvement with the recipient during the project period rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The overall purpose is to strengthen national-level tribal capacity on air quality issues by supporting an entity that can deliver policy and regulatory analysis, coordination, and technical-style support that helps tribes engage effectively with EPA air programs and rulemakings.
At its core, this opportunity is about helping tribes understand, participate in, and respond to EPA/OAR policy and regulatory activities that affect air quality. The selected recipient would be expected to track and analyze federal air quality policies and regulations, translate complex regulatory developments into information that is usable for tribal governments, and help organize national coordination activities so tribes can engage in a more informed and unified way when appropriate. The focus is not on implementing on-the-ground air monitoring or direct emissions control projects, but on providing the analytical, communications, and coordination backbone that supports tribal participation in national air policy and regulatory processes.
The program sits within the Environment funding activity category under CFDA 66.034. Eligibility is listed as "Others," with the specific eligible entities clarified in the full announcement under the Additional Information on Eligibility section. The EPA anticipated making up to one award, highlighting that this is intended to fund a single national coordinating effort rather than multiple smaller projects. The expected total funding was approximately $1,005,000 spread across a three-year period, effectively supporting multi-year operations and sustained coordination rather than a short-term, one-off effort. The award ceiling is also listed as $1,005,000, indicating that the maximum federal amount available under the announcement aligns with the anticipated total.
Key timing details included a creation date of March 14, 2019, and an original closing date of May 13, 2019, with the note that applicants needed to refer to the announcement (especially Section IV) for complete submission requirements and instructions. Awards were explicitly noted as contingent on the availability of funds, the quality of the applications received, and other applicable considerations, which is standard language but important in understanding that even a strong proposal could be affected by budget or programmatic constraints.
In practical terms, the recipient of this cooperative agreement would function as a central resource supporting tribes on air issues at the national level: interpreting and communicating EPA/OAR air regulatory actions, assisting with coordinated tribal input into federal processes, and providing ongoing policy-relevant analysis that helps tribes make informed decisions and effectively represent their interests in EPA air quality discussions.Apply for EPA OAR IO 19 02
