Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA OW OWM 18 01
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Training Support Workshop Activities for the State Revolving Fund (SRF) Programs" (Funding Opportunity Number: EPA OW OWM 18 01). The purpose of this award is to fund an organization that can help EPA deliver training and technical support tied to the State Revolving Fund programs, specifically the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) and the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF). These SRF programs are major federal-state financing tools used to support water infrastructure projects, and the intent of this opportunity is to strengthen how states and other practitioners administer and implement them by improving access to consistent, high-quality training.
The core work under this opportunity centers on providing training workshop support for four annual National SRF Infrastructure Financing and Training Workshops. In practice, this means the selected recipient would be expected to help plan and organize the workshops, prepare materials and agendas, coordinate logistics, and provide technical support that helps the events run smoothly and deliver useful content. The workshops are designed primarily for SRF program officials, but they are also meant to serve other stakeholders who have an interest in SRF implementation and water infrastructure financing, which can include practitioners working alongside or affected by state SRF programs.
The funding mechanism for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates EPA expects to have substantial involvement during the project period, such as collaborating on planning, deliverables, or implementation details. The announcement lists one expected award, with an award ceiling of $380,000. The assistance listing is tied to CFDA number 66.436, and the program area is categorized under environment. While the eligible applicant category is noted as "Others," the announcement indicates that applicants should consult the opportunity document itself, specifically the section labeled "Additional Information on Eligibility," for the detailed eligibility requirements and any limitations on who may apply.
A notable feature of the opportunity is that awarded funds may be used not only for planning and delivering workshop support, but also to promote participation in the workshops and to help cover travel expenses for non-federal personnel attending. That detail signals an emphasis on ensuring strong attendance and access for state and local participants or other non-federal stakeholders who might otherwise face budget barriers to participating, which is often important for national training events intended to standardize understanding and spread best practices.
This funding opportunity was created on April 16, 2018. The original closing date is listed as May 28, 2018, with a note directing applicants to review Section IV of the official announcement for the controlling submission deadline and any additional timing details. Overall, the opportunity is focused on strengthening national-level training and peer learning for the Clean Water and Drinking Water SRF communities by supporting the infrastructure financing and training workshops that bring SRF professionals together each year.Apply for EPA OW OWM 18 01
