Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA OEI OIM00 18 00
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grant opportunity titled "TRIBAL SUPPORT FOR PARTICPATION IN THE NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION EXCHANGE NETWORK" (Funding Opportunity Number: EPA OEI OIM00 18 00) is a discretionary cooperative agreement designed to expand and strengthen tribal involvement in the National Environmental Information Exchange Network (EN). The EN is a secure, internet-based system that allows state, tribal, and territorial partners to share environmental and public health information with each other and directly with EPA. This effort sits within the broader E-Enterprise for the Environment (EE) initiative, which focuses on modernizing and improving how environmental information is collected, managed, and exchanged across governments.
The central purpose of this funding is to support outreach and hands-on technical assistance that helps tribes participate more fully in the Exchange Network. In practical terms, the cooperative agreement is meant to build tribal capacity in data management and information technology so tribes can connect to the network, use its tools effectively, and integrate EN-developed data standards and technical resources into their environmental programs. The opportunity emphasizes strengthening core skills and systems that make secure data exchange possible, including adopting shared data schemas (standardized data structures), using network software and services, and improving overall IT and data governance practices that support environmental reporting and decision-making.
Because the award is structured as a cooperative agreement, the project is expected to involve active collaboration with EPA rather than operating as a fully independent grant. The funding is intended to support a coordinated national or broad-reaching effort (rather than many small separate awards) to increase tribal participation, which is reflected in the program design: EPA anticipated making a single award, with an award ceiling of up to $1,500,000. The opportunity was created on December 20, 2018, with an original application closing date of February 22, 2019. The program is listed under CFDA 66.608 and is categorized under the Environment funding activity area.
Eligibility is not fully specified in the excerpt provided beyond the listing "EligibleApplicants: Others," and the announcement directs applicants to consult Section III for detailed eligibility requirements. Generally, opportunities like this are aimed at an organization capable of delivering nationwide or multi-tribal technical assistance and outreach, coordinating with tribes at different levels of readiness, and providing the expertise needed to help tribal environmental programs adopt shared electronic reporting and exchange practices. The overall outcome EPA is seeking is a stronger tribal ability to securely share high-quality environmental and health data through the Exchange Network, making tribal environmental management programs better connected to shared national systems and more able to participate in modern, technology-driven environmental information initiatives.Apply for EPA OEI OIM00 18 00
