EPA Air Sensor Research Grants is a funding initiative from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that supports research into air quality sensing technologies through its Science To Achieve Results (STAR) program and the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The EPA also coordinates prize-based Challenge competitions to encourage innovation in air sensor technology from a broad community of solvers.
These efforts are designed to improve public access to accurate, affordable air quality monitoring tools. The EPA collaborates with other federal institutions to develop a centralized source for air sensor SBIR grant opportunities. Specific award amounts and deadlines vary by competition cycle.

EPA's Innovative Water Infrastructure Workforce Development competition closes October 5, 2026. The agency says up to 15 awards across four project areas, but Project Area 1 alone carries a $7.8 million ceiling against a $10.8 million pot. That tension is the single most important strategic fact in the NOFO — here is how to read it, which lane is least competed, and what a three-week runway means for your submission.

Applications close November 9, 2026. But eligibility was frozen as of October 10, 2025, and every application must contain an on-the-ground BMP project traceable to an approved management program. Here is how the gates actually work.
