Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA R5 GL2016 AIP
The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) 2016 Request for Applications on Agricultural Incentive Program Effectiveness (Funding Opportunity Number EPA R5 GL2016 AIP) is a competitive U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) funding opportunity intended to support projects that advance the goals of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Action Plan II. In practical terms, the opportunity focuses on improving the Great Lakes ecosystem by funding work that evaluates how well agricultural incentive approaches are performing and how they can be strengthened to reduce environmental impacts that ultimately affect Great Lakes waters.
This opportunity was issued by the EPA as a discretionary funding program, with awards made either as grants or cooperative agreements. It sits under the environmental funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 66.469, which is the federal assistance listing associated with GLRI. EPA described this RFA as its major competitive GLRI grant opportunity for fiscal years 2016 and 2017, while also noting that GLRI funding is distributed through multiple federal agencies, meaning this RFA is one piece of a broader, multi-agency restoration effort.
The application timeline indicates the announcement was created on November 9, 2016, and the original closing date for applications was January 13, 2017, with the notice advising applicants to review the full announcement (including Section IV) for detailed submission requirements and procedures. The funding parameters list an award ceiling of $750,000, and EPA anticipated making one award under this particular RFA, suggesting a single, relatively substantial project rather than multiple smaller awards.
Eligibility is described in the announcement as “Others,” with a direction to consult the additional eligibility text in the full solicitation for specifics. This typically signals that applicants must carefully confirm whether they qualify under the program rules in the official RFA, rather than assuming eligibility based solely on common categories like state governments or universities.
Overall, this RFA supports the GLRI Action Plan II by investing in a targeted effort to assess and improve agricultural incentive program effectiveness, using EPA’s competitive assistance process to select one project (up to $750,000) that can generate actionable findings or approaches relevant to Great Lakes restoration priorities.Apply for EPA R5 GL2016 AIP
