Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA OCFO OEE 17 01
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Tribal Support for E-Enterprise for the Environment" (Funding Opportunity Number: EPA OCFO OEE 17 01) to fund a single cooperative agreement focused on increasing and strengthening tribal participation in E-Enterprise for the Environment (often shortened to "E-Enterprise"). E-Enterprise is a joint effort involving states, tribes, and federal partners to modernize and improve how environmental programs share information, use data, and deliver services. This grant is essentially designed to make sure federally recognized tribes have a stronger voice, clearer pathways to participate, and better connections to the people and systems driving E-Enterprise work.
The core purpose of the award is outreach and engagement rather than direct on-the-ground environmental cleanup or infrastructure. EPA is looking for an eligible organization that can credibly represent and communicate with tribes at a broad level and that already understands tribal environmental issues, programs, and data needs. In practical terms, the selected recipient would act as a hub that helps tribes plug into E-Enterprise conversations, identifies where tribes may be facing barriers (technical, administrative, data-related, or policy-related), and helps create opportunities for tribes to collaborate with states and federal agencies on shared environmental data and program modernization efforts.
Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, EPA expects to be substantially involved in the work as it is carried out. Cooperative agreements typically mean the agency will collaborate with the recipient on planning, coordination, and oversight, rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The funded organization would be expected to promote discussion, collaboration, and partnership among three main groups: tribes, states, and federal agency representatives. That emphasis signals that the project is meant to strengthen ongoing intergovernmental relationships, improve coordination around environmental information and technology, and ensure tribal perspectives are incorporated into shared approaches for managing environmental work.
The opportunity sets an award ceiling of $500,000 and anticipates making one award total. The assistance listing (CFDA) number associated with the opportunity is 66.611, and the activity category is Environment. The EPA posted the opportunity on October 18, 2017, with an original closing date of November 24, 2017, while also noting that applicants should consult Section IV of the solicitation for any additional closing date information or related submission details.
Eligibility is described as "Others," with clarification referenced in an additional eligibility section in the full solicitation. Even without that full text here, the description makes clear what kind of applicant EPA is targeting: an organization that is broadly representative of federally recognized tribes and has demonstrated familiarity with tribal environmental programs and environmental data considerations. The strongest applicants would generally be those with established relationships and trust across many tribes, experience convening tribal stakeholders, and the ability to translate technical or policy-heavy E-Enterprise topics into actionable, accessible engagement for tribal environmental staff and leadership.
Overall, this grant is aimed at capacity-building and inclusion: helping tribes participate more fully in a nationwide effort to improve environmental program efficiency and data sharing. The intended outcome is not just more tribal attendance at meetings, but deeper tribal involvement in shaping priorities, designing solutions, and partnering across governments so that E-Enterprise tools, data standards, and modernization efforts reflect tribal realities and support tribal environmental protection work.Apply for EPA OCFO OEE 17 01
