Background:
EPA is announcing a new funding opportunity to facilitate multi-state cooperation and adoption of innovative water technologies.

With this RFA, EPA is seeking research that provides technical assistance to deploy innovative water technologies to very small public drinking water systems (serving 500 persons or fewer) or areas served by private wells/source waters. Applicants should focus on how states consider sources of performance data and other information to make decisions to allow innovative water technologies to be used and establish effective ways for multiple states to cooperate to prevent or minimize state-by-state testing protocols.

Expected outcomes of research from this RFA include:

  • Reduced economic costs of deploying demonstrated innovative water technologies;
  • Improved public health and reduced risks of deploying demonstrated innovative water technologies; and
  • Streamlined approval process for demonstrated innovative technologies that provide clean drinking water supplies with minimal environmental impact.

Please note: Cost-sharing is required for this award. Each applicant must contribute a minimum non-federal cost share/match of 54% of the federal funds awarded. This is equivalent at a minimum to 35% of the total project costs.  Eligible Applicants:  Public water systems, institutions of higher education, research institutions or foundations, regional water organizations and certain nonprofit organizations as further described below, located in the U.S. or its territories or possessions are eligible to apply.
