What the grant funds

This RFA is seeking cost-effective applications from eligible applicants to provide the CBP’s non-federal partners with administrative and technical staff support to the CBP committees, GITs, and workgroups as they work to restore the Chesapeake Bay and meet the goals and commitments contained in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement. EPA seeks to support up to three recipients with: 1) The ability to create and implement a professional development program to build the capacity of environmental professionals (primarily those just entering the field) to work in a consensus-building committee structure such as the CBP partnership; and/or 2) Experience in enhancing multi-partner, consensus-based environmental decision-making in the Chesapeake Bay watershed through the synthesis and application of scientific understanding of the Chesapeake Bay and surrounding watershed ecosystems; and/or 3) The ability to develop a summer program that supports students interested in leadership positions in careers in environmental protection and restoration. Consistent with the EPA’s environmental justice principles, see Section I.E., below, consideration should be given to supporting students from underrepresented populations. A single organization with experience in all three areas may apply for all three activities but must submit a separate application for each Activity, with each application addressing a single Activity.
