This Network Update was distributed via the Exchange Network email alerts list on September 13, 2007.

U.S. EPA has released the final FY 2008 Exchange Network Grant Solicitation Notice. The notice is now available for download at http://www.epa.gov/exchangenetwork/grants. The deadline for submitting applications is November 19, 2007.

As in past years, the guidance provides for several categories of funding, one of which focuses on collaborative multi-partner projects. As a reminder, the Exchange Network Message Board is a good place for Network partners to share ideas on innovative projects and perhaps find new groups with which to partner. You can find a forum dedicated to sharing Exchange Network project ideas at http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/mb/exnet?forum=97250.
