What are the rules for submitting multiple or repeat applications?
An organization may submit more than one proposal to headquarters and or to a regional office if the proposals are for different projects; however, no organization will be awarded more than one grant for the same project during the same fiscal year. Applicants who have received a grant under this program in the past may submit a proposal in a subsequent year to continue an existing project or start a new project. If the proposal continues an existing project, the applicant must show how the project is “new or significantly improved” in some way such as reaching a new audience or a different geographic area. All eligible proposals will be evaluated based upon the criteria established in the solicitation notice for the year in which the proposal was submitted. No preference will be given to proposals that seek to continue an existing project. Only those projects ranking among the highest scores each fiscal year will receive awards.
An organization may submit more than one proposal to a regional office if the proposals are for different projects. No organization will be awarded more than one grant for the same project through EPA’s EE Grant Program. Applicants who are currently receiving funds from EPA’s EE Grant Program or who have received a grant under this program in the past may submit a proposal this year, as long as the new proposal does not duplicate a project currently/previously funded by EPA’s EE Grant Program.
