The Development, Community and Environment Division (DCED) in U.S. EPA's Office of Policy Economics and Innovation is issuing this request for initial proposals (RFIP). DCED focuses on growth and development issues of regional and national significance. Through its focus on growth that is protective of the environment, this solicitation supports EPAs strategic objective to sustain, clean up, and restore communities and the ecological systems that support them (Objective 4.2 in EPAs 2003-2008 Strategic Plan). Smart growth development practices support integrated environmental management approaches that both protect local ecosystems and support ecologically compatible development. These practices support national environmental and public health goals by protecting sensitive watersheds, minimizing water quality impacts from development, reducing air emissions by increasing transportation choices, and encouraging cleanup and sustainable redevelopment of Brownfields.
