FUNDING FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE COLLABORATIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING (EJCPS) COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT PROGRAM
Environmental Protection Agency, Funding Opportunity EPA-OP-OEJ-20-01, 2019

The EJCPS Cooperative Agreement Program provides funding to support community-based organizations in their efforts to collaborate and partner with local stakeholder groups (e.g., local businesses and industry, local government, medical service providers, and academia) as they develop and implement community-driven solutions that address environmental and/or public health issues for underserved communities. For purposes of this announcement, "underserved community" refers to a community with environmental justice concerns and/or vulnerable populations, including minority, low income, rural, tribal, indigenous, and homeless populations. Eligible projects must demonstrate the use of the EJCPS Model to support collaborative efforts during the project period. Applying organizations should have a direct connection to the underserved community affected by the environmental harms and risks detailed in the work plan. About 10 awards are anticipated out of estimated total program funding of $1.2M. The closing date for applications is February 7, 2020. https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=322417
