PESP Grants
There are two separate grants programs that are
associated with PESP. Each is administered differently and has unique
eligibility
requirements.
Regional PESP Grants
Also known as Regional Initiative Grants,
the Regional PESP Grants are administered by EPA's regional offices. These
grants support pollution prevention projects that are important to and
complement ongoing efforts in the EPA regional offices.
 The
call for proposals for 2004 Regional Initiative Grants was announced
in the Federal Register on July 16, 2004. Applications must be received
by the appropriate EPA Regional Office on or before August 30, 2004.
