Description
The
US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the National Brownfields
Training Conferences Co-Sponsorship FY2019-2024, EPA-OLEM-OBLR-18-05. This
notice announces the availability of funds and solicits proposals from eligible
entities for financial assistance to assist non-federal personnel (states,
tribes, local governments, non-profits, industry and
community groups) in participating in three National Brownfields Training
Conferences to be planned and held over a five-year period, beginning in 2019.
The National Brownfields Training Conferences provide training, research and
technical assistance to communities to facilitate the inventory of brownfield
sites, site assessments and remediation of brownfield sites, community
involvement, and site preparation. EPA anticipates that three National
Brownfields Training Conferences will take place during this project period.
Applicants proposals should include a
description of how they will identify and involve non-federal stakeholders in
conference planning and provide travel scholarships to ensure a diverse
stakeholder base participates in and attends the conferences. Funds
awarded under this announcement will provide financial support to a non-Federal
co-sponsor to:
(1)
provide
logistical support for the three conferences including collection of
registration fees;
(2)
make
substantive contributions to the development of the conference educational
programming;
(3)
conduct
conference outreach directed towards non-federal attendees;
(4)
ensure
diverse attendance by non-federal stakeholders; and
(5)
evaluate
conference results.
The
successful applicant will be the primary non-federal co-sponsor for the
conference. EPA will be the primary federal co-sponsor. Cost sharing or matching
is required as a condition of eligibility for award. Applicants must provide a
cost-share of at least five (5) percent of the amount of EPA funding they
request.
