Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA OA OSDBU 25 01
This grant opportunity, titled "Management of the 507 Program's Collaboration and Communication Activities" (Funding Opportunity Number: EPA OA OSDBU 25 01), is a discretionary funding competition offered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU), specifically under its Asbestos and Small Business Ombuds (ASBO) Program. The award will be made as a cooperative agreement, which usually means EPA expects substantial involvement during the project (for example, coordination on deliverables, regular check-ins, or joint planning), rather than a hands-off grant.
The purpose of the funding is to support the National 507 Program, a nationwide network made up of state Small Business Environmental Assistance Programs (SBEAPs). These SBEAPs help small businesses understand and meet environmental compliance requirements. EPA is emphasizing that strong coordination, communication, and shared tools across the national SBEAP network are a practical way to help small businesses comply with environmental rules, reduce confusion, and make assistance more consistent from state to state.
The core work described in the notice is essentially "backbone" support for the national network. A major component is developing and implementing a strategy to manage the existing Nationalsbeap.org website and its collaborative resources. That includes keeping the site functional, current, and useful as a centralized platform where SBEAP members can access shared materials and communicate. Another key requirement is maintaining an up-to-date national contact list of state SBEAPs, ensuring that the network can reliably reach the right people and that stakeholders can find appropriate state points of contact when they need help. The opportunity also covers planning and hosting service support for annual SBEAP training activities, suggesting the recipient will organize logistics and provide support services that allow the network to conduct yearly training effectively. In addition, the recipient is expected to provide ongoing communication and collaboration services for the National 507 Program, which likely includes regular coordination among states, facilitating information sharing, supporting meetings or working groups, and maintaining consistent communications that keep the network aligned.
In terms of funding and scale, EPA lists an award ceiling of $550,000 and expects to make one award, meaning this opportunity is designed to fund a single organization to serve as the primary coordinator for these national collaboration and communication functions. The assistance listing (CFDA/Assistance Listing) number is 66.610, and the activity category is Environment. The opportunity category is marked as discretionary, reflecting that applications will be competitively evaluated.
Eligibility is shown broadly as "Others," but the notice directs applicants to Section 2 of the Notice of Funding Opportunity for the specific eligibility rules. The original application closing date is 2024-12-02, and the opportunity record shows a creation date of 2024-10-01. Overall, the opportunity is aimed at selecting a capable partner that can manage national-level program communications, maintain shared infrastructure (especially the Nationalsbeap.org platform and contact systems), and provide logistical and service support for training and collaboration so the SBEAP network can better assist small businesses with environmental compliance.Apply for EPA OA OSDBU 25 01
