Environmental Health Risk Assessment Program Community Outreach, Education and & Assessment Mini-Grant The Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) is offering mini-grants of up to $4,950 each to eligible entities to support and expand upon Environmental Health Risk Assessment Program’s (EHRAP’s) efforts to engage with and educate communities on the impact environmental hazards have on public health.

Through EHRAP, RIDOH aims to investigate the public health implications of hazardous chemicals in the environment, educate affected communities and stakeholders about these implications, and proactively manage risks by exploring innovative solutions.

Funded through the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry’s (ATSDR’s) Cooperative Agreement Program, EHRAP evaluates contaminated sites and analyzes potential links between site contaminants and community health outcomes.

EHRAP also develops and implements the Choose Safe Places for Early Care and Education program, which supports practices to ensure early child care and education centers are located away from chemical hazards.

Examples of projects eligible for funding include RIDOH will award up to $4,950 to each mini-grantee, for a maximum of $15,000 in total funding between this grant opportunity and the Fishing & Fish Consumption Survey for Diverse Communities Mini-Grant Opportunity. Some organizations may request and receive less than the maximum mini-grant amount. You can learn more about this opportunity by visiting the funder's website.

Eligible applicants must be affiliated with or a part of a nonprofit, school, community-based agency, coalition, and/or grassroots organization that has a Federal Employer Identification Number or Federal Tax Identification Number. RIDOH will fund eligible entities to conduct community outreach and education activities that amplify and complement its federally funded efforts.

These efforts may be related to a specific site of concern, more generally related to health-related implications of environmental hazards in Rhode Island, or related to licensed early child care providers (either center- or home-based). RIDOH may also fund eligible entities’ own site-based investigations.

RIDOH suggests a four-month project period but welcomes alternative proposals that will enable organizations to achieve mini-grant deliverables. RIDOH requires that grantees provide a 10%-in-kind match. Only one application per agency/organization will be reviewed.

For-profit entities are not eligible. Under ATSDR funding, EHRAP does not investigate or evaluate air pollution concerns or those arising from industrial activity and will not be able to fund projects that address these concerns through this mini-grant opportunity.
