Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA R5WPDG 2017
The FY17 Region 5 Wetland Program Development Grants (EPA R5WPDG 2017) is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to support the development, strengthening, or refinement of wetland programs run by governmental entities. The core purpose of the program is to help applicants build the capacity, tools, and program elements needed to run effective wetland protection and management efforts, consistent with the wetland program development framework described in the announcement's funding opportunity description. In practical terms, this funding is aimed at improving how states, tribes, and local or regional government partners plan for wetlands, assess wetland condition, regulate and manage impacts, restore and protect wetland resources, and track outcomes over time.
This opportunity is administered by EPA Region 5 and uses grant and cooperative agreement instruments, meaning awards may involve either a traditional grant structure or a cooperative agreement where EPA anticipates more substantial involvement during project implementation. The funding activity category is environment and the CFDA number associated with the program is 66.461, which is commonly used for EPA wetland program development assistance.
Eligibility is limited to governmental and government-linked entities. States, federally recognized tribes, local government agencies, interstate agencies, and intertribal consortia are eligible to apply, as long as they meet the specific conditions in the full announcement. Universities are not broadly eligible simply by being academic institutions; they are only eligible if they are formally chartered as an agency of a state government, and applications must include documentation proving that status as part of the proposal package. Non-profit organizations are explicitly not eligible to apply under this request for proposals, which is an important restriction for teams that may otherwise look to conservation NGOs or watershed groups as the lead applicant (those groups could potentially participate as partners or contractors, but not as the applicant of record under this solicitation).
The opportunity was posted on March 7, 2017, with an original application deadline of April 20, 2017. EPA anticipated making around 10 awards, with an award ceiling of $350,000 per project, which signals support for mid-sized projects that can produce concrete improvements to wetland program capacity or implementation within a defined scope. The announcement also points applicants to Section IV for detailed submission requirements and procedures, indicating that formatting, required forms, and other compliance items are likely important to eligibility and review.
Overall, this grant program is geared toward helping eligible government entities in Region 5 move their wetland programs forward by funding program development work rather than general conservation activities alone. Competitive proposals under opportunities like this typically focus on building durable program infrastructure such as improved wetland monitoring and assessment methods, updated wetland mapping and inventory practices, stronger regulatory or management processes, restoration planning and prioritization approaches, or other program components that make wetland protection more consistent, measurable, and sustainable over the long term.Apply for EPA R5WPDG 2017
