Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA OCSPP OPS 2024 10
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is offering a discretionary funding opportunity, issued as a cooperative agreement, to provide financial and administrative support for the National Tribal Toxics Council (NTTC). This grant is designed to strengthen the NTTC's ability to help advance chemicals management and pollution prevention policies and programs in ways that reflect the needs, priorities, and unique legal status of American Indian Tribes, Alaska Native Villages, and intertribal organizations. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 66.716 and is focused on environmental work, specifically on toxics and pollution prevention issues that affect Tribal communities.
At its core, the NTTC serves as a national forum connecting Tribal chemical risk management and pollution prevention practitioners with EPA and other relevant partners. The council focuses on elevating and evaluating Tribal program development and implementation needs related to chemical risk management and pollution prevention, particularly in coordination with EPA's Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT). It also reviews and provides input on national-level chemical risk management policies and pollution prevention initiatives that may impact Tribes and Alaska Native Villages. Another key function is maintaining a network where Tribal officials and representatives can share information, coordinate positions, and ensure Tribal interests are represented in discussions on chemical risk assessment, risk management approaches, and pollution prevention efforts. In addition, the NTTC works to promote and strengthen the development of Tribal chemical risk management and pollution prevention programs over time, helping build capacity and improve practical implementation on the ground.
The selected recipient will not simply run a standalone project; they will provide hands-on administrative and technical support that keeps the NTTC functioning effectively and visibly. The work described includes organizing and facilitating multi-day, in-person meetings (including the logistics and coordination that come with convening participants from many Tribal and federal entities), hosting regular monthly calls to maintain continuity and momentum, and managing a website to support communication, document sharing, and outreach. The recipient is also expected to help identify and track high-priority toxics and pollution prevention topics that are of strong interest to Tribal communities, and to develop outreach approaches that ensure information is accessible and reaches the right audiences. Just as important, the role involves working cooperatively with both Tribes and EPA on programmatic issues, which reflects the cooperative agreement structure where substantial involvement and coordination with the agency is typical.
Funding is expected to support a single award, with an award ceiling of up to $1,000,000. The opportunity number is EPA OCSPP OPS 2024 10. The original application closing date is November 19, 2024, and the funding notice was created on September 18, 2024. Eligibility is summarized as "Others" in the source data, and applicants are directed to review Section III of the NOFO for the precise eligibility requirements and any additional conditions or definitions that control who may apply.
Overall, this grant opportunity is aimed at ensuring the NTTC has the operational support needed to convene Tribal and federal partners, surface and prioritize Tribal toxics concerns, contribute to national chemical policy discussions affecting Tribal communities, and strengthen pollution prevention and chemical risk management capacity across Tribes and Alaska Native Villages.Apply for EPA OCSPP OPS 2024 10
