UW CEHE may be able to provide the following types of technical assistance: Questions about eligibility, specific sections of the NOFO. Pre-review of draft proposals. Depending on the volume of TA requests we receive and the complexity of the requests, it may take different amounts of time to get back to you with a response.
In the case of simpler questions, we anticipate getting back to you within a few days. In the case of more complex TA requests, such as providing a pre-review of a draft proposal, it generally takes at least a week for us to conduct a review. We encourage you to reach out to us well in advance to see if we still have availability to review your proposal.
We use the Grantmaking Program's scoring criteria when we conduct our reviews. If we are not available to assist you with a pre-review, we encourage you to attempt to self-review your own proposal using the publicly available Grantmaking scoring criteria. To request CCG TA from UW CEHE, please complete our intake form , and mention your interest in CCG.

On June 11, 2026, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel ruled that the EPA's February 2025 termination of the $2.8 billion Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grant Program — created by Section 60201 of the Inflation Reduction Act — was arbitrary, capricious, and unlawful. The ruling voids the termination but does not order the EPA to resume the program, leaving the September 30, 2026 statutory deadline as the binding constraint. For the 116 grantees and the coalition of nonprofits, cities, and tribal partners that were already in award negotiations, the next 105 days will determine whether the program survives in any operational form or migrates entirely to the Court of Federal Claims as a damages action.
