Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Grant Writing Tips

EPA Put $10.8 Million Behind Water Workforce Training — and Set One Award Ceiling at $7.8 Million. The Arithmetic Tells You Exactly How to Apply.

One maximum award would consume 72 percent of the pool. Here is how the four project areas actually partition the money, why the grants.gov award floor field is wrong, and why September 14 is the date that matters more than October 5.
