2003 In-School Environmental Asthma Education: EPA Region 3, Energy, Radiation and Indoor Environments Branch of the Air Protection Division, is soliciting this Request for Applications (RFA) for cooperative agreements or grants to conduct environmental asthma trigger management education to elementary and/or middle school aged children in a school setting. EPA Region 3 is awarding grants to ensure the direct education of asthmatic children about the management of environmental triggers in their surroundings. This work can be accomplished through: 1.the enhancement and/or creation of indoor environmental asthma trigger assessment and education protocols in existing assessment and education programs, or 2.community based one-on-one education of children with asthma on the identification and evaluation of environmental asthma triggers and the mitigation methods which they can implement in their surroundings to control these triggers. The major goals of this work are: 1.to reduce the impact of environmental asthma triggers on children with asthma; 2.strengthen the capacity of individual asthmatics to control environmental asthma triggers; and 3.to develop sustainable strategies for environmental asthma trigger management education within a school setting.
