Each applicant must contribute a minimum 25% non-federal cost share/match of the federal funds awarded which may include in-kind contributions.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking applications proposing research that will provide the best available science needed to support states, municipalities, and utilities in determining potential risk from pollutants found in biosolids and developing standards and policies for biosolids management. Research under this RFA is intended to address multiple treatment scales including large publicly-owned treatment works and medium- to small-scale wastewater treatment facilities and focuses on: 1) fate and transport of chemical pollutants in biosolids, including following land application of biosolids; 2) understanding the impact of different treatment processes and management practices on chemical pollutant levels in Class A biosolids and Class B biosolids; and 3) development of cost effective methods to measure and manage chemical pollutants in biosolids.
This solicitation provides the opportunity for the submission of applications for projects that may involve human subjects research.
