National Community-Based Lead Outreach and Training Grant Program: Request for Proposals FY 2007

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is soliciting grant proposals from eligible entities to reduce incidences of childhood lead poisoning in low-income communities with older housing. Potential activities include outreach, training, ordinance development, and other activities that would result in reduction of childhood lead poisoning. This grant will support the partnership of national organizations with community-based organizations and local governments to improve the environmental health of a community regarding lead poisoning prevention. EPA is awarding grants that will provide approximately $1.5 million to interested entities. It is anticipated that approximately 6-8 awards will be made. The number of grants EPA will fund as a result of this announcement will be based on the quality of proposals received and the availability of funding.
