Grants & Funding

This page provides access to information about funding opportunities available from EPA's Office of Air and Radiation (OAR). As a part of EPA's initiative to encourage competition in the award of grants, cooperative agreements, and other assistance agreement vehicles, OAR requires that all funding opportunities subject to the Agency's competition policy be published on this site. We encourage you to bookmark this page and visit on a regular basis. OAR grants and other funding opportunities will be posted as they become available.
