Regional Geographic Initiatives
Regional Geographic Initiatives (RGI) fund unique, geographically-based projects that fill critical gaps in the Agency's ability to protect human health and the environment.
RGI projects:
- address places, sectors or innovative projects; and/or
- are based on a regional, state, tribal or other strategic plan; and/or
- address problems that are multi-media in nature or fill a critical gap in the protection of human health and the environment; and/or
- demonstrate state, local and/or other stakeholder participation; and/or
- identify opportunities for leveraging other sources of funding.
Funding Duration: Project may receive funding for one or more years but generally will not receive RGI funds for more than four years.
Availability of RGI funds: Each EPA Regional Office is responsible within its states for the execution of the RGI program. To obtain information about the availability of funds for a project, contact the appropriate Regional RGI Coordinator.
