What the grant funds

This RFA sets forth a competitive process to solicit and select up to four entities to establish up to four Pilot Watersheds under the SNEP’s new Pilot Watershed Initiative. The goal of the initiative is to demonstrate the effectiveness of concentrated, collaborative efforts and holistic (watershed scale) planning to address common environmental challenges in the SNEP geographic boundary, and ultimately to support SNEP’s goals and priorities as set forth in SNEP’s Five-Year Strategic Plan (https://www.epa.gov/snep/snep-strategic-plan). We plan to award up to four cooperative agreements under this announcement. Applications will be expected to include all the documentation necessary to respond fully to evaluation criteria described in this RFA and to serve as a grant application. We expect to select and notify applicants in July 2021 and fund up to four awards by October 1, 2021.
