FY 2016 and FY 2017 Source Reduction Assistance Grant Program: Source Reduction Assistance (SRA) awards support pollution prevention through source reduction and resource conservation work. In FY 2016 and FY 2017, nine out of the ten EPA Regional Pollution Prevention Program Offices are announcing a two-year grant competition cycle to support two-year SRA agreements. The Regions anticipate awarding approximately $2.2 million in federal grant funding ($1.1 million in FY 2016 and $1.1 million in FY 2017) to support SRA agreements offered as grants and/or cooperative agreements. EPA will not issue a funding announcement in FY 2017.

These areas will promote national environmental themes and strategies reflected within EPA’s P2 Program.
