Ecosystems Research Grants

Ecosystems Banner

EPA funds ecosystems research grants to protect ecosystems and the air and water resources that provide numerous benefits for humans and other living things.

Areas of ecosystems research address:

  • how air pollution may effect ecosystems;
  • protection of natural water resources, including bodies of water as well as their supporting watersheds;
  • development of new strategies for managing watersheds and wastewater while reducing water-related energy demands; and
