Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA OLEM OBLR 19 03
The FY19 Brownfields Training, Research, and Technical Assistance Grant (Funding Opportunity Number EPA-OLEM-OBLR-19-03) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) focused on strengthening the EPA Environmental Workforce Development and Job Training (EWDJT) program. The award is designed to support a single organization in delivering research and hands-on technical assistance that helps communities and program partners build effective environmental job training efforts connected to brownfields revitalization and cleanup-related careers. The assistance is intended to benefit new, existing, and prospective EWDJT grantees, meaning the work can support organizations already funded as well as those preparing to apply or exploring participation in the program.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the EPA expects to have substantial involvement during the project period rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The maximum award amount listed is $200,000, and the EPA anticipated making one award under this notice. The activity category is Environment, and the assistance listing is tied to CFDA 66.814, which corresponds to EPA brownfields-related assistance. The opportunity was posted on July 9, 2019, with an original closing date of September 20, 2019, and applicants were instructed to consult the full announcement (especially Section IV) for the official submission method, deadlines, and any specific procedural requirements.
At its core, the grant funds a technical assistance and research provider for the EWDJT network. The selected recipient is expected to deliver ongoing support throughout the project period, which can include guidance on program design and implementation, strategies for recruiting and supporting trainees, strengthening partnerships with employers and training providers, aligning curricula with local workforce needs and environmental cleanup opportunities, and helping grantees understand and meet EPA grant requirements. In addition to this continuous assistance function, the recipient must also plan and deliver an annual meeting that brings EWDJT grantees together for peer-to-peer networking and training. This annual convening is meant to create a structured forum where grantees can share practical lessons, compare approaches, troubleshoot common challenges, and learn about methods and tools that improve job training outcomes.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with clarification deferred to the application package section titled "Additional Information on Eligibility." In practice, that typically signals that eligibility may include a range of non-federal entities depending on EPA program rules and the specific definitions provided in the announcement. Because the notice points applicants back to the full text for precise eligibility, any organization considering this opportunity would need to confirm it meets EPA requirements before applying.
Overall, this grant is less about funding direct cleanup work and more about building capacity across the EWDJT program nationally by supporting research-informed guidance, consistent technical assistance, and a yearly training and networking event that helps grantees deliver stronger workforce development results in communities affected by brownfields.Apply for EPA OLEM OBLR 19 03
