FOA-Reducing Public Exposure to Indoor Pollutants (EPA-OAR-ORIA-20-09); September 15, 2020

 

Agency

US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

 

Description

EPA is soliciting applications to conduct demonstration, technical assistance, training, education, and/or outreach projects that seek to reduce exposure to indoor air contaminants by advancing national policy and systems-level initiatives. Indoor contaminants may be of natural origin (e.g., radon, allergens, molds), may derive from products used indoors (e.g., finishes, furnishings, cleaning products), and may result from indoor processes and behaviors (e.g., smoking, use of unvented combustion sources, cleaning, operation and maintenance procedures). Building systems also have a direct influence on the type and amount of exposure to environmental contaminants indoors.  Applications should clearly articulate a plan to produce results that have implications and/or benefits on a national level. This RFA is not intended to fund small-scale local projects. Address one or more of the following EPA Indoor Air Program priority areas:

§  Radon

§  Indoor Environmental Asthma Triggers

§  Comprehensive Indoor Air Risk Reduction

 

Applicants may submit applications that uniquely address one or more of these priority areas. However, applicants may not submit multiple applications addressing the same program priority area.  EPA will not consider any applications under this RFA that are exclusively designed to conduct scientific research. However, applications may include research components as a foundation for demonstration, technical assistance, training, education, and/or outreach projects.  EPA will not consider applications under this RFA which specifically address indoor asbestos, lead, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs), or other chemical-specific pollutants. These contaminants are addressed by other EPA program offices.
