Eligible Project Activities - To be eligible for funding, an EJCPS project must consist of activities that fall within the terms of at least one of the above statutory grant authorities. Projects can address multiple statutes and include multiple eligible activities. The following is a list of the types of activities which may be considered for funding under this solicitation. It is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not all inclusive. Applicants can propose other activities as long as they fall within at least one of the statutory authorities listed above. Under this solicitation, applicants may submit COVID-19 related projects or general non-COVID-19 EJCPS projects as further discussed below. • research • public education • demonstration projects • training • monitoring • development • investigations • surveys and studies • experiments NOTE: EJCPS activities must relate to gathering or transferring information or advancing awareness. Applications should emphasize this “learning” concept, rather than trying to “fix” an environmental problem using a well-established method. All the eligible activities listed above promote learning and understanding and are acceptable activities. Examples of unacceptable grant applications involve performing: large-scale clean-ups, treatments, routine recycling services, and major disposal and/or energy recovery projects. For projects that will support demonstration activities, the project must involve new or experimental technologies, methods, or approaches; where the results of the project will be shared so that others can benefit from the knowledge gained. A project that is accomplished through the performance of routine, traditional, or well-established practices, or a project that is simply intended to carry out a task rather than transfer information or advance the state of knowledge, however worthwhile the project might be, is not a demonstration. The applicant must clearly explain in the application how the technologies, methods, or approaches used are new or experimental and how the project otherwise meets the requirements of a demonstration as described in this RFP. If your project uses technologies, methods or approaches that have been used previously in other geographic areas and/or business sectors, then your application must include an explanation as to how your demonstration project is different from such prior projects and is a true demonstration. You must also explain what will be learned from the demonstration project. If your project is truly a demonstration and complies with other eligibility factors, then it will be considered for funding. Remember, your project doesn’t have to include demonstration activities. But if it does, then those activities must comply with the details listed above. *UPDATE (4/19/2021) – See Appendix A – Guidance on American Rescue Plan (ARP) Funding for detailed information and examples on the types of projects that could be considered under the ARP and non-ARP funded projects.
