## What the grant funds

Wetland Program Development Grants (WPDGs) assist state, territorial, tribal, local government agencies and interstate/intertribal entities in developing or refining state/ territorial/tribal/local programs which protect, manage, and restore wetlands. The primary focus of these grants is to develop/refine state, territorial, and tribal wetland programs. A secondary focus is to develop/refine local (e.g. county or municipal) programs. All applications submitted under this RFA must be for projects that develop or refine state/territorial/tribal/local government wetland programs. Implementation of wetland protection programs is not an eligible project under this announcement. An implementation project is one that is accomplished through the performance of routine, traditional, or established practices, or a project that is simply intended to carry out a task rather than transfer information or advance the state of knowledge. All monitoring and mapping projects should transfer information or advance the state of knowledge and therefore are eligible under this grant. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is soliciting applications from eligible applicants to develop or refine state/territorial/tribal/local government wetland programs as described in Section I, FUNDING OPPORTUNITY DESCRIPTION, of this announcement. States, territories, tribes, local government agencies, interstate agencies, and intertribal consortia are eligible to apply under this announcement, as further described in Section III.A, ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS. Colleges and universities that are agencies of a state government are eligible but must include documentation demonstrating that they are chartered as part of a state government in the application submission. Non-profit organizations are not eligible to compete under this RFA. Under this announcement, as is more fully explained in Section I, there will be two separate applicant tracks for eligible applicants. Eligible states, territories and tribes can submit applications under either Track One or Track Two, while eligible local governments, interstate agencies, intertribal consortia, and eligible colleges and universities that are agencies of a state government can only submit applications under Track Two. Applicants under each track will only compete for awards against other applicants in their track. See Section V for further information.
