Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA R5 GL2019 ANM
Accelerating Adoption of Nutrient Management through Farmer-led Outreach and Education is a competitive U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) funding opportunity under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) Action Plan II. It is part of EPA's larger GLRI grant program for fiscal years 2019 and 2020, and it targets projects that help improve environmental conditions in the Great Lakes basin by speeding up on-the-ground adoption of better nutrient management practices. The emphasis in this specific opportunity is on farmer-led outreach and education, meaning projects are expected to rely heavily on farmers and agricultural partners as messengers and leaders who can influence peer behavior, build trust, and drive practical changes in how nutrients are managed on farms.
The funding is offered through grants and/or cooperative agreements, both of which support public-purpose projects, with cooperative agreements typically involving more substantial federal involvement during implementation. The opportunity is listed as discretionary funding in the environmental program area (CFDA 66.469). EPA posted this as one of five separate GLRI funding opportunities, each with its own Funding Opportunity Number on Grants.gov. Applicants needed to apply specifically to this opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number EPA R5 GL2019 ANM) rather than to the broader GLRI package.
In terms of scale, the program anticipated making about four awards, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $1,000,000 per project. The announcement was created on May 28, 2019, and the original application deadline was July 12, 2019, with the notice directing applicants to review Section IV of the full announcement for exact submission instructions and any additional requirements. Eligibility is described broadly as "Others" in the listing, with the detailed eligibility rules and any restrictions referenced in an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section within the full announcement, which is typical for EPA RFAs where eligible applicant types can include certain nonprofit organizations, academic institutions, tribal entities, local governments, regional organizations, or other qualified groups depending on the specific terms.
Overall, the purpose of this opportunity is to fund practical, replicable efforts that move nutrient management from planning to widespread adoption, using farmer-to-farmer education, demonstrations, local outreach networks, and similar peer-based strategies that can reduce nutrient losses and support GLRI goals across Great Lakes watersheds.Apply for EPA R5 GL2019 ANM
