Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA OAR ORIA 20 04
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is offering discretionary grant funding under the opportunity titled "Development of Recommendations and Guidance for Radiological Protection Programs" (Funding Opportunity Number EPA OAR ORIA 20 04; CFDA 66.034). The purpose of this grant is to support work that helps protect people and the environment from unnecessary exposure to radiation. In practice, that means the EPA is looking to fund projects that can strengthen the technical foundation of radiological protection programs by producing well-supported recommendations, practical guidance documents, and related materials that agencies and stakeholders can use to manage radiation risks.
The central focus of the work is the development of radiological protection guidance and recommendations, along with structured information exchange with the EPA and other federal partners involved in radiological protection. Applicants are expected to contribute expertise that can inform how radiation exposures are assessed, communicated, and reduced, with an emphasis on human health impacts. This may include synthesizing scientific evidence, evaluating exposure and risk assessment approaches, and translating findings into usable guidance that supports consistent decision-making across programs. The notice also signals the importance of coordination: funded projects should not operate in isolation, but should facilitate dialogue and sharing of technical information with EPA and other relevant agencies working in this space.
Funding is provided through a grant instrument, with an award ceiling of $500,000. The EPA anticipates making two awards under this announcement, indicating that the agency is likely seeking a small number of well-scoped, high-impact projects rather than many smaller efforts. The opportunity was posted on April 14, 2020, and the original closing date was May 29, 2020, with final timing details referenced in the full announcement's Section IV (meaning applicants would need to confirm exact deadline requirements and any submission specifics in the official notice).
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with clarification provided in the announcement's eligibility section. The solicitation specifically encourages applications from entities that have demonstrated experience assessing the human health impacts of radiation exposure, which implies the EPA is prioritizing organizations with technical capability in radiation science, health physics, radiological risk assessment, epidemiology, exposure modeling, or related disciplines. Overall, the grant is designed to bring external scientific and programmatic expertise into the EPA's radiological protection efforts, improving the quality, consistency, and usability of guidance that supports public health and environmental protection.Apply for EPA OAR ORIA 20 04
