United States Environmental Protection Agency EPA 600/9-30052 October 1980 Research and Development &EPA ORD Extramural Program Guide FY1981 ------- NOTICE At the time this publication went to press, Congress had not yet passed our Fiscal Year 1981 appropriations. EPA was operating under a continuing resolution which allowed it to continue ongoing efforts but not begin any new activities. Bills pending before Congress at that time could reduce by as much as four percent our overall budget and could cause a redirection of an additional three percent. This document does, however, accurately reflect the figures in the President's Budget request.

EPA's Office of Research and Development The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was established in December of 1970 to protect and enhance the nation's environment. The Agency was created by a Presi- dential Reorganization Order that combined 15 previously existing units of the federal government. This single organizational unit was established to better control envi- ronmental pollution, drinking water quality, environmental radiation and noise, solid waste, pesticides, and other toxic substances. The Office of Research and Devel- opment (ORD) is the principal scientific component of EPA. Its fundamental role is to produce the scientific data and technical tools needed to develop a national policy for the effective control of pollution and to promulgate adequate and viable environmental standards. ORD's research is supplemented by general scientific and technical research in other federal agencies, the academic community, and else- where. ORD also supports the Agency's involvement in many international organizations that share environmental research and development concerns. More specific functions of ORD include: (1) maintaining in-house expertise capable of quickly res- ponding to emergencies and giving expert advice and testimony when necessary; (2) sharing the results of environmental research and devel- opment with a wide range of indi- viduals, groups, and agencies in ways that are meaningful and prac- tical; and (3) giving expert scientific and technical assistance to other EPA offices to help them formulate environmental policy. Authority for EPA's research and development programs is included in the annual appropriation acts and through the following legislation. Clean Air Act, as amended in 1977 (P.L. 95-95) Environmental Research, Development and Demon- stration Authorization Act (P.L. 94-475) Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, as amended (P.L. 92-516) Federal Water Pollution Control Act (P.L. 92-500) as amended by the Clean Water Act of 1977 (P.L. 95-217) Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act 1 ------- (P.L. 92-532), as amended in March 1974 (P.L. 93-254) National Environmental Policy Act (P.L. 91-190, as amended in August 1975) Noise Control Act (P.L. 92-574) as amended by the Quiet Communities Act of 1978 Public Health Service Act, as amended (P.L. 78-410) Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (P.L. 94-580), Safe Drinking Water Act (P.L. 93-523), as amended in November 1977 Toxic Substances Control Act (P.L. 94-469) EPA's Research Committee System During the past two years, a Research Committee system has been established to serve as the cor- nerstone of ORD's program plan- ning process. Currently there are thirteen committees, each address- ing a subject area corresponding to the organization and function of EPA's regulatory program offices. Each Committee is co-chaired by a senior manager from ORD and a senior manager from the correspond- ing regulatory office. The thirteen Research Committees are: Drinking Water Energy Gases and Particles Hazardous Air Pollutants Industrial Wastewater Mobile Source Air Pollution Municipal Wastewater and Spill Prevention Oxidants Pesticides Radiation Solid Waste Testing and Assessment Water Quality ORD's Extramural Program The Office of Research and Devel- opment (ORD) establishes its objec- tives and priorities in response to the overall mission and priorities of EPA and is highly concerned with solving specific priority problems in addition to advancing scientific knowledge. Although the scope of ORD projects may vary from fun- damental research to the full-scale engineering demonstration of new pollution control processes, all proj- ects are directed at meeting specified objectives as determined by the Agency's Zero Base Budgeting Pro- cess (ZBB). These objectives are described in each of the "decision units," a planning category within the ZBB Process. Each decision unit has a pre-defined goal which fits into the framework of the Agency's overall mission. A description of each decision unit and the funds available for extramural assistance begins on page 6 . These are listed alphabetically within each media (i.e., Air, Drinking Water, etc.). Although much of ORD's external research is solicited by the office, individuals and organizations may submit unsolicited proposals. , ------- OFFICE/LABORATORY ABBREVIATIONS Code ECAO/Cin Environmental Criteria and Assessment Office/ Cincinnati, OH 45268 (513) 684-7406 ECAO/RTP Environmental Criteria and Assessment Office/ Research Triangle Park, NC 27711 CML (919) 541-2266 FTS 629-2266 EMSL/Cin Environmental Monitoring and Support Laboratory/Cincinnati, OH 45268 (513) 684-7301 EMSL/LV Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory/ Las Vegas, NV P.O.

To support this activity, the Corvallis Environmental Research Laboratory is evaluating the environmental fate of atmospheric pollutants, and the effects of these pollutants on natural and managed terrestrial ecosystems. This research includes evaluation of I the effects of specific gaseous pollutants and particulates, and the effects of complex pollutant mix- tures. Researchers are also investi- gating the degree to which natural and cultivated vegetation contributes to ambient levels of reactive hydro- carbons. These research efforts utilize field evaluations and controlled exposure experiments. OFFICE/LABORATORY CONTACT* EXTRAMURAL FUNDS** ERL/Corv OEPER/HQ Thomas A. Murphy David E.

Every five years EPA must present an updated health data base to support mainte- nance or revision of the Standards. The major goal of this program is to improve substantially the existing health effects data base on those pollutants for which these Standards have been set. This research will include studies of both acute and chronic animal toxicology, con- trolled human exposure, and epi- demiology. The program will place emphasis upon designing and per- forming studies which permit EPA to assess the health effects resulting from exposure to ambient levels of these pollutants.

The most immediate goal of the toxicological studies is to determine the acute and chronic effects of inhalation of "coarse- mode particles," "fine-mode par- ticles," particle/gas combinations, and lead. New facilities, models, and methodologies are under develop- ment to improve the quality of this research. Clinical studies of humans help determine the acute health effects from exposure to fine-mode aerosols. Later, epidemiologic studies I of populations exposed to airborne sulfur oxides and particles will fur- ther pinpoint the health effects of these pollutants. Additional research focuses on the health effects of non-criteria hazard- ous pollutants. Maps portraying car- cinogenic "hot spots" will be updated. Subsequent assessments of carcinogenicity can be accomplished using bioassays, human exposure assays, animal exposure tests, and epidemiologic studies. A battery of additional tests will evaluate the non- carcinogenic toxicity of hazardous air pollutants.

One project involves demonstration of a volatile organic compound pollution control device for textile printing plants. Other work, representing a continuation of earlier petrochemical plant research, tests VOC leak detectors and repair programs. A report will detail ways of measuring industrial flare emis- sions from burning organic chem- icals under various operating condi- tions, and a comprehensive document describing flare emissions will be issued. Supercritical fluids can be used to recover VOCs from activated car- bon. Research efforts include evalua- ting regeneration processes for various compounds, constructing an operating activated carbon VOC unit, and evaluating the application of catalytic incineration to various VOC emissions. Other studies involve the identification of toxic emissions from ferrous metallurgy sources such as coke by-products, quenching, preheating, iron foundry smelting, and electric furnace emissions.

Approximately 160 sampling stations have been established to measure particulates, SO|, NO^, and trace elements. New methods of measur- ing sample mass and constituents are assessed at these testing sites. New extraction and fractionation schemes are being developed to separate organic matter from ambient par- ticulates. Other sampling activities, such as measuring trace elements, ambient organic compounds, and ambient particulate matter, are also being tested. In addition, alternative sampling and monitoring techniques are evaluated and improved. Methods of monitoring nonmethane hydrocarbons are undergoing review. By examining data collected by a multispectral scanner during persis- tent air pollution episodes, existing data acquisition systems can be eval- uated. Personal exposure monitors, particularly methods of monitoring asbestos and arsenic pollution, are being developed and evaluated. OFFICE/LABORATORY EMSL/RTP EMSL/LV CONTACT* Thomas R. Hauser Glenn E.

Analytical methods are being developed for identification and quantification of organic contaminants, both volatile and nonvolatile, general inorganic contaminants, and asbestos. Removal of inorganics requires specialized treatment techniques. Researchers are investigating the effectiveness of reverse osmosis and ion exchange systems. An important area of investigation is the con- tamination of drinking water as it is carried through the distribution system. The control of the corrosion of absestos-cement pipe is being studied using such variables as pH, alkalinity, and addition of corrosion control chemicals. Attention is being given to the identification, character- ization and measurement of asbestos fibers. Specialized techniques for the analysis of arsenic, selenium, chromium, and mercury are also being developed. Microbiological research will focus on treatment processes that remove bacteria and viruses. The effec- tiveness of various disinfectants on microbiological quality will be addressed. New and improved tests for bacteria identification are needed. Research into the protection of underground water sources is being carried out at the Robert S. Kerr Environmental Research Laboratory at Ada, Oklahoma. The goal of this research is to provide the scientific basis for regulatory and management decisions related to the protection of groundwater supplies. Specific research areas include improved methods for investigating ground- water quality, characterization of the underground environment and its effect on pollutants, development of methods to reliably predict subsur- face movement and transformation of pollutants, and evaluation of groundwater rehabilitation techniques.

Research on organics is focusing on examina- tion of those treatment methods which might create harmful organic compounds during treatment. Two treatment practices of special con- cern are disinfection and the use of chemical additives for flocculation and filtration. Researchers will iden- tify the organics resulting from such treatment, and will conduct toxico- logic investigations to determine their adverse health effects. Another important area of research is the relationship between inorganics and the incidence of cardiovascular diseases. In addition to laboratory investigations, epidemiologic studies are planned. Other inorganics research will focus on the assessment of health effects related to lead, barium, and arsenic. A continuing aspect of microbio- logical research is the surveillance of waterborne diseases. Research into new identification techniques for pathogens in both water and clinical specimens is planned.

Researchers are con- tinuously called upon to develop and refine techniques for the sophisti- cated water analysis required by the Agency both routinely and for specialized pollution problems. In order to check the accuracy of the numerous laboratories performing analyses, quality control check samples for trace metals, nitrate- fluoride, pesticides, herbicides, trihalomethanes, turbidity, and free residual chlorine are maintained and distributed. In order to monitor the microbiological quality of drinking water, it is often necessary to use indicator organisms as a measure of pollution. Work will continue to improve detection methods for specific pathogens. As new detection methods-are developed, researchers will also develop techniques for water sample collection, preserva- tion, transport, and storage.

The goal of this research project is to develop methodologies for predicting movement, persistence and bioaccumulation of chemicals in air, water, and terrestial environ- ments, as well as in living systems. To meet the requirements of the Toxic Substances Control Act, evaluations of the fate and effects of some new compounds must be made within relatively short time periods. Since existing information on these chemicals may be scarce, the use of structure-activity factors for rapid evaluations is being examined. Models are also under development for use in estimating exposure con- centrations of chemicals in various media. These models will be vali- dated using laboratory (microcosm) and field studies.

These investigations include field and laboratory studies and many are continuations of ongoing research. Laboratory studies to determine the toxicity, carcinogenic- ity and teratogenicity of priority pollutants are underway. The appli- cation of short-term tests for predict- ing human health effects is also under evaluation. Several epidemiological investiga- tions are planned including deter- minations of: the relationship between swimming associated ill- nesses and water quality, disease rates in residents living near land sites receiving wastewater applica- tions, health effects in families whose farms receive sludge for land applica- tion, and health effects of workers involved in composting. Other studies will focus on the inactivation, sur- vival, and fate of viruses in waste- water, sludges, and soils.

Pro- gram activites range from data base development to field evaluation of specific control technologies. A computerized system for storage and retrieval of spill assessment, cleanup, and disposal procedures is being developed. Cincinnati's Indus- trial Environmental Research Lab- oratory is involved in the preparation of a "Treatability Manual" for con- trol of priority pollutants and the operation of a computerized data base used for wastewater and haz- ardous solid waste characterization for the organic chemicals industry. At the Robert S. Kerr Environmental Research Laboratory, evaluation of biological activated carbon treatment for removal of pollutants from waste- water is planned. The use of trickling filters and lagoons for treatment of metals will also be evaluated. Resources are also being used to design, construct and operate control technologies for removal of hazard- ous pollutants. The Industrial Envi- ronmental Research Laboratory in Cincinnati is involved in studies of the electroplating industry, while at RTF researchers are involved in studies of iron and steel plants, the textile industry and the pesticides manufacturing industry. The Cincin- nati laboratory is also evaluating an ion exchange wastewater treatment system. OFFICE/LABORATORY CONTACT* EXTRAMURAL FUNDS** lERL/Cin MERL/Cin IERL/RTP RSKERL/Ada OEET/HQ David G.

The impact of ocean outfalls on marine communities and ultimately human health involves determina- tions of the relationships among pollutant concentrations in the water, the ocean sediment, and fish tissues. Microcosms will be used to measure the biological responses of marine organisms to water and sedi- ment pollution. The disposal of dredged materials may pose serious problems to marine ecosystems. Researchers are develop- ing a biossay for measuring acute and chronic effects in bottom- dwelling organisms. EPA is involved in the development of sediment quality criteria. Using information from bioassays, "safe" sediment concentrations may be developed for specific chemical pollutants and complex waste mixtures. In the area of wetland research efforts are planned to determine wetland productivity and function. This information will be used to determine the relative value of wetlands, and the impact of the alter- ation of a wetland on its watershed.

Another planned effort involves the review of the existing water quality network for trend monitoring of conventional pollutants such as dissolved oxygen and phosphorous. This information will be used to pro- pose a national trend monitoring net- work for waterborne toxic substances. An important aspect of water quality monitoring is the detection of viruses. Improved methods for the rapid identification of and quan- tification of viruses in surface waters are being developed. Attention is being given to methods that recover small amounts of viruses from large volumes of water. Methods for col- lecting and identifying viruses in sewage and sludge are also being investigated. OFFICE/LABORATORY CONTACT* EXTRAMURAL FUNDS** EMSL/Cin EMSL/LV Robert L. Booth Glenn E.

Quality assurance sample studies are conducted, and reposi- tories are maintained for the quality control samples and reference mater- ials that are the basis of water quality monitoring. Statistical and technical services are provided to Program and Regional Offices for performance evaluation studies, which are used to find analytical problems and prepare performance evaluation samples for ambient monitoring analyses. Labor- atory intercomparison studies and on-site laboratory evaluations are per- formed, and the computerized inter- laboratory test system is maintained. Protocols for screening methods are developed and the methods are stan- dardized and validated. OFFICE/LABORATORY CONTACT* EXTRAMURAL FUNDS** EMSL/Cin EMSL/LV Robert L. Booth Glenn E.

Environmental information, par- ticularly that related to the inspection of hazardous waste sites, is now being provided through the use of over- head monitoring technology (the Enviro-Pod program). The increas- ing development and sophistication of this technology has necessitated the institution of training programs, research on imagery interpretation techniques, and the preparation of handbooks to disseminate informa- tion on techniques and equipment. Other program activities include water quality and water quality management analyses, and the iden- tification of geographic areas and populations to monitor exposure to selected pollutants.

The results of research on environ- mental fate processes will be com- bined with a computerized data base being developed. The data base con- tains both specific and generalized river and lake environment data in addition to information on the physi- cal and chemical characteristics of specific pollutants. All of this infor- mation will be used in the modifica- tion, improvement, and testing of exposure assessment models. Com- ponent models and field analysis will be used to evaluate the cost-effective- ness of alternative point and non- point source pollution control strategies. This technology will sup- port the development of water qual- ity criteria, evaluation of pesticides for registration, identification of control requirements, and determin- ation of effluent limitations in stream areas limited by water quality standards. The main emphasis of the current year's effort is on establish- ing the computerized data base. OFFICE/LABORATORY CONTACT* EXTRAMURAL FUNDS** ERL/Athens OEPER/HQ David W.

The sludge man- agement program includes develop- ment of better and more cost-effective ways of treating and disposing of sludge, evaluation and improvement of the environmental acceptability of all sludge processes, and support for EPA's Program Offices. Specific attention will be given to dewatering and thickening processes, anaerobic digesters, land application, and devices to remove toxicants from sludge. Toxic pollutant control research pro- duces information on the sources of toxic pollutants and on the treatabil- ity of such pollutants by conven- tional or innovative technology. Plant operation and design activities will include the review and evalua- tion of facilities for sludge handling in major municipalities. A series of design information documents for public operated treatment works (POTW) will be prepared. During FY 81 funding will also be used to support the innovative and alternative construction grants pro- gram, which provides incentive for use of better technology in waste- water treatment facilities.

This program includes development of wastewater pro- cessess including new biological pro- cesses, processes for removal of specific pollutants, and wastewater disinfection. Technologies for water conservation and reuse will also be examined. Another aspect of this program involves the study of urban runoff including its causes and effects, and control. The program also addresses the needs of waste- water systems in small communities. The Robert S. Kerr Environmental Research Laboratory addresses wastewater control technologies related to land treatment and aquaculture. Studies of slow-rate land treatment, rapid infiltration systems, and overland flow systems are planned. The transport and trans- formation of pollutants in soils will also be addressed. The effectiveness of filter feeding fish for removal of pollutants from municipal washwaters will be evalu- ated. The use of water hyacinth, and the effectiveness of natural and artifi- cial wetlands for wastewater treatment are areas of planned investigations.

To explain how each of these is used, a brief discussion follows. Contracts A contract is used (1) whenever the principal purpose of the instrument is the acquisition, by purchase, lease, or barter, of property or services for the direct benefit or use of the Federal Government; or (2) whenever an executive agency determines in a specific instance that the use of a type of procurement contract is appropriate. All planned contracting is carried out competitively with notices of the availability of Request for Proposal (RFP) documents publicly advertised. Unsolicited contract proposals should not be submitted for such reports. The review/selection pro- cedures followed may vary slightly from project to project, but all perti- nent information regarding both the project objectives and criteria for evaluation of proposals will be included in each RFP package. The Laboratory Director should not be contacted for information on con- tracts that have been advertised since such communication may conflict with Federal Procurement Regula- tions and could serve to disqualify a prospective contractor from further consideration. Solicited Contract Proposals Requests for Proposals (RFP's) for all planned contracts will be adver- tised in the Commerce Business Daily issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce. A subscription to this publication may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Wash- ington, DC 20402. These adver- tisements will provide instructions for obtaining RFP packages from EPA's Contracts Management Divi- sion. Each RFP package will include detailed information describing the form and context of proposals to be submitted as well as the required time and place of submission. EPA's Contracts Management Divi- sion publishes "Selling to EPA" to assist the business community in its efforts to find new markets in the Environmental Protection Agency. This publication includes the names and addresses of contracting offices in EPA and the Office of Research and Development laboratories, the types of products and services pro- cured, general information about the Agency, and hints to aid business- men in selling to EPA. Unsolicited Contract Proposals While most of ORD's contract research and demonstration is con- ducted through the use of RFP's to 58 ------- solicit proposals, contracts can also be awarded on the basis of unso- licited proposals which meet the sole-source requirements of the Federal Procurement Regulations. Unsolicited contract proposals should be addressed to the Grants Administration Division (PM-216), Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC 20460. While no specific format is required, such proposals should generally contain: 1. Name, address and telephone number of the organization or individual submitting the pro- posal. 2. Date of preparation or submis- sion. 3. Type of organization (profit, nonprofit, educational, indi- vidual, other). 4. Concise title. 5. Project objective. 6. Need, utility and significance of project. 7. Scope of work, i.e., an outline and discussion of the purpose of proposed effort of activity, the method of attacking the prob- blem, and nature and extent of anticipated results. 8. Experimental data developed by feasibility studies previously completed. 9. Estimated duration of the pro- ject, proposed starting and com- pletion dates. 10. Scientific references. or technical 11. Names of key personnel to be involved, brief biographical information, including principal publications and relevant exper- ience. 12. Equipment, facilities and per- sonnel requirements. 13. Proposed budget, including separate cost estimates for salaries and wages, equipment, expendable supplies, services, travel, subcontracts, other direct costs and overhead. EPA's Appropriation Act specifi- cally provides that cost sharing must be included in contracts resulting from proposals for projects not specifically solicited. The extent of the cost sharing by the recipient will be decided after the proposal has been reviewed and determined to be of mutual interest to the grantee or contractor and the government. The material submitted should con- tain both a technical and a business proposal. The technical proposal should clearly define the unique con- cept involved (as required for sole- source procurements) and include a plan for turning the concept into reality. It is suggested that the I 59 ------- technical proposal identify any pro- proposal, information concerning prietary aspects of the proposed past Government contracts, and any ideas or process. The business pro- special terms and conditions desired. posal should include a detailed cost 60 ------- ORD Assistance Program Grant Agreements A grant is to be used when (1) the principal purpose of the relationship is the transfer of money, property, services or anything of value to the State or local government or other recipient in order to accomplish a public purpose of support or stimula- tion authorized by Federal statute, rather than acquisition, by purchase, lease, or barter, of property or ser- vices for the direct benefit or use of the Federal Government; and (2) no substantial involvement is antici- pated between the executive agency, acting for the Federal Government, and the State or local government or other recipient during performance of the comtemplated activity. Grant allocations are made by the Office of Exploratory Research. The primary area of grant concern is in anticipatory or exploratory research. Topics of special interest will be announced in flyers. Cooperative Agreements A cooperative agreement is used in lieu of a grant when (1) the principal purpose of the relationship is the transfer of money, property, ser- vices, or anything of value to the State or local government or other recipient to accomplish a public pur- pose of support or stimulation authorized by Federal statute, rather than acquisition, by purchase, lease, or barter, of property or services for the direct benefit or use of the Federal Government; and (2) substantial involvement is antici- pated between the executive agency, acting for Federal Government, and the State or local government or other recipient during performance of the contemplated activity. Prior to applying for a cooperative agreement, contact with the cogni- zant Laboratory Director is encour- aged. This will allow for the develop- ment of the appropriate relationship between the recipient of the agree- ment and ORD. Exploratory Research Grants Program In September 1979, the Office of Research and Development estab- lished an Office of Exploratory Research in response to recommen- dations made by an internal Grant Procedure Review Group. The new office was established to administer ORD's competitive research grants program as well as several other related programs (refer to the section on Interdisciplinary Research). The changes supporting this reorganiza- tion are also currently being incor- porated in ORD's administrative regulations, 40 CFR Part 40. Briefly summarized, these changes are as follows: • Central point of contact. The Office of Exploratory Research (OER) serves as a central point of contact for interested researchers who desire additional infor- mation on exploratory research grant funds available (as opposed I 61 ------- to cooperative agreement funds), programs or projects of EPA interest, or application pro- cedures. OER's task is to manage ORD's competitive exploratory research grants program and peer review process for research pro- posals. • Solicitations for Research Pro- posals. ORD intends to enhance its research base by encouraging greater participation for research funding assistance through the use of research proposal solicita- tions. These solicitations utilize "flyers" or printed brochures, the Federal Register and other media of interest to the scientific community. Special encourage- ment is extended to scientists who have not previously received ORD extramural funding assistance, and qualified minority, handicap- ped, and female researchers. • Proposal/Application Review. ORD utilizes a centralized peer review process, similar to that used by the National Institutes of Health, to review extramural proposals for research fund- ing assistance. Reviews are tenta- tively scheduled for FY 1981 as follows, but may vary depending on the number of applications received. Application Receipt Date Peer Review October 15,1980 December 1980 February 15, 1981 April 1981 June 1,1981 July 1981 Funding Availability February 28, 1981 June 30, 1981 September 30, 1981 The review process may include site visits or ad hoc (mail) review in special instances. A sampling of requests for project continuations and/or funding increases of ongo- ing projects may also be subject to this review process. The decision to fund or reject a proposal is based on the scientific peer review ranking, EPA research needs and priorities, and available resources. Acceptable applica- tions which are of lower priority may be held for up to six months for possible funding. • Reporting Requirements. Grant projects require progress reports as stipulated in the grant agree- ment, and a final report upon completion of the project. Coop- erative agreement projects require a final report and other reporting requirements as may be deter- mined by the ORD laboratory decision official at the time of the award. In some cases, an article reporting the results of the research for grant or cooperative agreement projects in a peer refereed journal may be substi- tuted for a report. Selected awardees may also be requested to present project results at periodic seminars conducted by ORD. 62 ------- • Grants vs Cooperative Agree- ments. The decision to fund or reject a grant proposal is made at HQ/EPA; decisions on coopera- tive agreements are made at the appropriate EPA laboratory. Most cooperative agreement applications are developed in consultation with ORD laboratory scientists or through solicitations. Because "substantial involve- ment" with the funding agency is required for cooperative agree- ment arrangements, this type of application should not be submit- ted without prior consultation with an EPA laboratory. Grant Funds Available. Grant funds are derived from each deci- sion unit described in this Pro- gram Guide. Approximately 15% of the funds indicated have been reserved, according to Congres- sional mandate, for long-term exploratory research (also refer to Anticipatory Research). In FY 1981, approximately $27 million, will be awarded through the com- petitive grants program, which is administered by the Office of Exploratory Research. All appli- cations for research funding assis- tance will undergo peer reviews for scientific merit, as well as relevancy review to ensure con- formity with the objectives of each decision unit funding source. 63 ------- Application Procedures The preapplication, application, and review processes differ substantially for grants and cooperative agree- ments. Grant Applications Consideration for the award of a research grant will be given to fully- developed proposals submitted along with a completed Federal Assistance Application Form No. 5700-12, pro- vided: (1) the project is research (as compared with development, demonstration, survey, or prepara- tion of materials and documents), (2) the project is of a long-range nature (frequently more than two years), (3) the project is germane to EPA's mission (which can include being responsive to this solicitation), and (4) the grantee is eligible to apply under the various Federal laws which authorize EPA to award research grants. Fully-developed, investigator- initiated, research proposals, prepared in accordance with instruc- tions, should be sent to: Grants Administration Division U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (PM-216) 401 M Street, S.W. Washington, B.C. 20460 Informal, incomplete, or unsigned proposals, will not be considered by the research grants program. The original plus eight copies are needed. Investigators may use the EPA solicitation for Grant Proposals (FY 1981) to learn of Agency inter- ests, and may receive advice from the Office of Research Grants and Centers' staff on procedural or administrative matters. This solicita- tion is designed to provide potential applicants with a description of EPA's grant-supported research and areas of greatest interest. It is not intended to rule out applications which are scientifically meritorious, but may not be directly responsive to it. All proposed research which is germane to EPA's mission will be given full and fair consideration. Cooperative Agreement Applications Pre-application Activity Although cooperative agreement applications may be submitted at any time and on any subject, appli- cants should take the following actions prior to submission of a for- mal application in order to save time and effort both for the applicant and EPA. 1. Review ORD's current research program, as described in Part I, to determine if funds are available in the specific area of interest; and 2. Contact the appropriate research and development personnel cited to ascertain if an assistance project is planned prior to the submission of an official applica- tion. 64 ------- Cooperative Agreements: Contact relevant Laboratory Direc- tor as cited within each Decision Unit. 3. Submission of a preapplication for cooperative agreements is encouraged. The preapplication should be sent directly to the Grants Administration Division (PM-216), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C. 20460, for initial screening and routing to the appropriate ORD program personnel. A pre- application should normally con- sist of a three- or four-page narrative outlining the project concept and containing the fol- lowing information: 1. Objective—a clear statement of the specific objective is necessary. If the objective is designed to fulfill a specific project (as iden- tified in Step 1 above), the proj- ect should be identified. If the objective cannot be associated with any specific project, some statement of the presumed value to EPA of attaining the research objective should be made. 2. Project Plan—a brief description of the research/development/ demonstration concept and the plan for execution of the proposed project, including a projected time-schedule for accomplishments of intermediate outputs or key occurrences indi- cating progress (milestones) and the final objective. 3. Budget—a preliminary estimate of total cost which will be incurred in order to complete the project. Also, the share of the costs which will be provided by the applicant should be indicated. 4. Staff and Facilities—a brief listing of key project staff and capabilities and a brief descrip- tion of any special facilities or other factors which would con- tribute to the success of the proj- ect. A single person who will have the responsibility for planning, coordinating, and supervising the project should be identified along with the fraction of his time to be devoted to the project. Following review and evaluation of the preapplication, the prospective applicant will be advised whether (a) an application should be submitted for formal review, (b) submission of a modified preapplication is sug- gested, (c) possible submission of the preapplication to another Agency, Department, or source of funds is suggested, or (d) further pursuit of the particular topic is discouraged. Formal Applications All formal grant and cooperative agreement applications are to be sub- mitted to the Grants Administration Division, Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C. 20460. After formal "logging in" and acknowledgement, those applica- tions falling within the Office of 65 ------- Research and Development's pur- view are referred to the appropriate ORD program office for program relevance review. This review quickly screens out those applications for which EPA has no authority. For those proposals in which ORD has an interest, scientific/technical merit reviews are then conducted. Com- ments may also be obtained from the Regional Office in the Region where the applicant is located and where the project would be conducted to deter- mine the relationship of the proposed project to Regional programs and policies. 66 ------- U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 1 1 1 Asst.
