Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA R1 SNEP 2024 NETWORK
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is offering a discretionary grant under a cooperative agreement to support the Southeast New England Program (SNEP) Technical Assistance Network for federal fiscal years 2025 through 2029. This opportunity is focused on strengthening the ability of communities across southeast New England to plan, finance, design, and carry out environmental projects that protect and restore vulnerable coastal watersheds. The program is grounded in the reality that coastal ecosystems are especially sensitive to pollution that originates upstream, to management that is spread across many jurisdictions, and to intensifying climate-related stresses. In southeast New England, these pressures have real economic and public health consequences because local livelihoods and community well-being are closely tied to coastal water quality, habitat conditions, and resilient infrastructure.
The grant is designed to fund a single “SNEP Network” entity (or lead organization coordinating a network) that will deliver practical, regionally tailored technical assistance. The core purpose is capacity building: helping municipalities, Tribes, and other communities better assess their environmental problems, choose workable solutions, and move from ideas to implementable projects. The environmental challenges highlighted in the notice include nutrient pollution driven by wastewater and stormwater, contamination and ecological impacts linked to historic industrial activity, and the downstream effects of changing land use. Rather than paying primarily for construction, the Network’s role is to provide the training, consultation, and support services that make local projects more feasible, better designed, and more likely to be funded and sustained over time.
The Network’s assistance is expected to cover a range of common community needs in watershed and coastal management. This includes improving financial and environmental decision-making (for example, understanding costs, benefits, tradeoffs, and compliance considerations), strengthening project design and implementation readiness (such as scoping projects, developing schedules and workplans, and navigating permitting or coordination challenges), advancing stormwater management practices (often a major source of nutrient and bacteria loading in coastal watersheds), and supporting watershed restoration planning. The overall emphasis is on delivering hands-on support that communities can apply directly to real projects, while also building long-term local know-how so that communities can continue advancing environmental work beyond the period of performance.
Key administrative details from the listing include the funding opportunity title “SNEP Technical Assistance Network Federal Fiscal Years 2025-2029,” funding opportunity number “EPA R1 SNEP 2024 NETWORK,” and a funding activity category of Environment under CFDA (Assistance Listing) 66.129. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the EPA expects substantial involvement during the project (for instance, coordination on priorities, deliverables, and program direction). The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $8,750,000, with one award expected. The opportunity was created on 2024-02-12, with an original closing date of 2024-05-01. Eligibility is summarized in the listing as “Others,” with the notice directing applicants to Section III of the official Notice of Funding Opportunity for the full eligibility rules and any additional requirements.Apply for EPA R1 SNEP 2024 NETWORK
