Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA GM COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS 2018 1
The Gulf of Mexico Program Cooperative Agreements 2018 funding opportunity is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through its Gulf of Mexico Program. It uses the cooperative agreement funding instrument, which generally means EPA expects to have a more hands-on partnership role than with a standard grant, such as involvement in project coordination, technical input, and oversight tied to achieving agreed-upon outcomes. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 66.475 and is focused on projects that produce clear environmental and community benefits across the Gulf of Mexico region and its connected watersheds.
The program is looking for proposals that directly support water quality improvement and the enhancement, restoration, and protection of coastal habitats and ecosystems. In addition to on-the-ground environmental work, the solicitation also emphasizes environmental education and outreach, as well as efforts that build community resilience in Gulf communities. In practice, that mix of priorities supports a wide range of project types, including initiatives that reduce or prevent pollution, improve watershed management, restore wetlands or other coastal habitats, strengthen ecosystem services, and help communities prepare for and adapt to environmental and coastal risks. All proposed work must be relevant to the Gulf of Mexico region and its watersheds, tying activities to measurable improvements or protections in those areas.
Applicants are required to fully describe the project scope, the budget, and the expected environmental results. That means proposals need to go beyond general goals and clearly lay out what will be done, where it will occur, who will carry it out, what resources are required, and what specific results are expected. A strong application would typically connect activities to concrete outputs and outcomes, such as measurable reductions in pollutants, acres of habitat restored or protected, improvements in ecological indicators, numbers of residents reached through education efforts, or resilience benefits such as improved preparedness or reduced vulnerability to coastal hazards. The EPA indicates that eligible proposals will be evaluated using criteria described in Section V of the solicitation, signaling that applicants should align their narrative and supporting materials to the stated review factors and provide the level of detail needed for evaluators to score the proposal well.
In terms of funding scale and timing, the announcement lists an award ceiling of $800,000, with an expectation of up to 12 awards. The opportunity was created on May 31, 2018, with an original closing date of July 31, 2018, while also noting that applicants should consult Section IV of the solicitation for due date details. Eligibility is broadly summarized as "Others," with clarification provided in an additional eligibility section in the full announcement, so potential applicants would need to check that section to confirm whether their organization type and partnership structure meet the EPA requirements. Overall, the opportunity is designed to fund practical, results-oriented projects that improve Gulf water quality, strengthen coastal ecosystems, engage and educate the public, and increase the resilience of communities throughout the Gulf region.Apply for EPA GM COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS 2018 1
