Overview

EPA Region 9 is soliciting proposals from eligible entities (described in Section III. A of this announcement) for projects in Region IX to support demonstration, training, outreach and/or education projects to reduce exposure to indoor pollutants for K-12 schools and homes. These projects are expected to achieve environmental results in one or more indoor air quality priority areas as outlined in Section I.B. of this Request for Proposals (RFP).  Proposals may address more than one area.

Projects funded under this RFP must be carried out within the jurisdiction of EPA Region 9, which consists of the states of California, Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada, and the Pacific Islands (U.S. territories of Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and other unincorporated U.S. Pacific possessions). EPA Region 9 is the lead region for the Navajo Nation; accordingly, this RFP addresses work anywhere in the Navajo Nation regardless of state boundaries.

The total amount anticipated to be awarded under this RFP is approximately $125,000. U.S. EPA Region 9 anticipates awarding approximately one (1) to three (3) grants and/or cooperative agreements under this RFP.  Awards will range from approximately $15,000 - $125,000 with each project period being two years (i.e. $7,500 - $62,500 per year, for two years), subject to availability of funds and the quality of proposals received. Any proposal in excess of $ $62,500 over two years will be subject to the special requirement that it must address both Priority Project Area 1 Objective: Indoor Air Quality IAQ Management in Schools, and Priority Project Area 2 Objective: Reduce Exposure to Indoor Asthma Triggers.
