Description

The program's objective is to provide funding in support of surveys, studies and investigations, training (including technical assistance) and special purpose assistance programs as they relate to environmental and/or public health issues, with a particular emphasis on environmental justice. The FY 2022 Appropriations Act authorized the use of Environmental Program & Management (EPM) funds for implementation and training (including technical assistance) grants for the first time, as well as authorization to continue the Environmental Justice (EJ) grants programs. Funding Priorities - Fiscal Year 2023: EPA will prioritize grants for technical assistance, training, and resources/support to community and non-profit organizations, educational institutions including Minority Serving Institutions, governmental entities, and other stakeholders. Assistance awards made under this listing are part of a multifaceted approach to benefit underserved communities facing environmental justice challenges. Awards under this listing will be for the establishment and maintenance of Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Technical Assistance Centers (EJ-TCTAC) with a physical location(s) or a virtual/technological presence providing technical assistance, training, and support/resources to underserved communities interested in EPA grant programs, community stakeholders, nonprofits, grassroots organizations, local government entities, and state governmental entities.
