FY17 EPA Brownfield Area-Wide Planning Grant Competition: Get started early on preparing your proposal!

EPA anticipates that the next Brownfield Area-Wide Planning (BF AWP) grant competition will open later this spring. The Request for Proposals (RFP) will be released via www.grants.gov. Recognizing that some applicants find it difficult to prepare a BF AWP grant proposal within the typical amount of time (60 days) that the RFP allows until proposals are due, EPA is sharing information on how applicants can get started early on proposal preparation and the www.grants.gov submission process.

There are several activities that applicants can work on now, in advance of the RFP being made publicly available, that will support both proposal development and the www.grants.gov proposal submission. Please review both documents below. EPA hopes this information will help applicants prepare a thorough, well-organized, and timely proposal submission.
