Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 Support of the Five Star Restoration Training Grant

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is soliciting applications from eligible applicants to manage the Five Star Restoration Training Grant. Specifically, EPA is soliciting applications from eligible applicants to: 1) prepare and advertise to a wide variety of potential subaward applicants a RFA, establish review criteria for evaluating and selecting subawardee applications, and make subawards to support environmental training through voluntary, community/watershed-based wetland restoration projects that provide ecological and socioeconomic benefits to the surrounding communities and their citizens; 2) oversee and monitor subawardees for successful completion of the restoration training projects; 3) provide technical support to subawardees through peer-to-peer outreach to broaden participation in restoration training projects; 4) qualitatively and quantitatively measure and report on the environmental results of the restoration training projects accomplished through the subawards; and 5) develop a strategy to promote and grow the Five Star Restoration Training Grant program over the life of the cooperative agreement. The competitive subaward process proposed by the applicant must be on a national scale by allowing for subaward applications for restoration training projects from across the 50 United States, Tribal Lands, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Territories.
