How do I get help in understanding and responding to the new grant guidelines?
A. Applicants may wish to review information on the EPA brownfields website and to contact their EPA Regional Brownfields Coordinator to request assistance when applying for a grant under the new Brownfields amendment (http://www.epa.gov/brownfields/corcntct.htm). All applications will be reviewed and evaluated objectively against the criteria in the grant guidelines and ranked against other applications. Due to the highly competitive process, applicants should be aware that receiving assistance and advice prior to submission of the Initial or Final application does not guarantee selection.
