Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
Additional Information on Eligibility: Based on ATSDR's regulatory authority cited by the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), eligible applicants that can apply for this funding opportunity are listed below: State and local governments of the eight Great Lakes states (Illinois, Indiana, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin), their bona fide agents or political subdivisions thereof, and federally recognized or state-recognized American Indian tribal governments. A Bona Fide Agent is an agency/organization identified by the state as eligible to submit an application under the state eligibility in lieu of a state application. If applying as a bona fide agent of a state or local government, a letter from the state or local government as documentation of the status is required. Attach with "Other Attachment Forms" when submitting via www.grants.gov. Competition is limited to the eight Great Lakes states because the purpose of this funding is to provide an opportunity for eligible applicants to assess exposure to Great Lakes contaminants and to advance public health actions to protect people
Grant Description: The program objective is to use biomonitoring to provide a baseline assessment of the exposure of susceptible Great Lakes Basin populations to some of the 11 legacy contaminants identified by the IJC. These legacy pollutants (Table 1) are persistent, bioaccumulative, and harmful to the ecosystem and human health. The biomonitoring program will require assessments for some of the IJC legacy pollutants but will be flexible enough to allow states to also biomonitor for other contaminants of concern. Emerging contaminants of concern such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers, that are widely used in fire retardants, and perfluorinated compounds that are used to make materials stain or stick resistant are examples of contaminants that may also be of interest.
