Since 2002, EPA has supported implementation of the Exchange Network through the Exchange Network Grant Program, which provides funding for States, Territories, and Tribes. For more information, visit EPA’s Exchange Network Grant Page.

FY 2012 Grant Program

EPA released the final FY 2012 Exchange Network Grant program solicitation notice in August 2011. The deadline for submitting an application package was November 4, 2011.  In FY 2012, EPA expects to award an estimated $10,000,000 for 40-50 grants of up to $350,000. The exact number of grants will depend on the amount of EPA’s appropriation for the grant program, the number of applications received, the amount requested to produce the proposed results, and the competitive review of the applications. The primary outcome expected from the Exchange Network assistance agreements is improved access to, and exchange of, high-quality environmental data from public and private sector sources.

EPA anticipates that it will announce selection decisions in or around March 2012 and issue awards by August 2012.
