Smart Growth Implementation Assistance 2009 Request for  Applications
The Development, Community, and Environment Division in EPA’s  Office of
Policy, Economics, and Innovation is seeking applications for  technical
assistance from communities that want to incorporate smart growth  in
their future development to meet environmental and other  community
goals. Eligible entities are tribal, local, regional, and  state
governments, and nonprofit organizations that have a  demonstrated
partnership with a governmental entity. Applications are due at  5:00 pm
EST, April 23, 2009.

EPA has identified some key areas in  which communities are likely to
benefit from technical  assistance:

Climate change (both  mitigation of and adaptation to)
Green job  development
Corridor  redevelopment
Green building  development
Suburban retrofitting
Disaster resiliency

Proposals are not limited  to requests for technical assistance in only
these thematic areas; other  topics for assistance are welcome and
encouraged, provided they demonstrate  cutting-edge challenges and the
possibility of replicable  solutions.

EPA is soliciting applications for assistance with either  policy
analysis or public participatory processes. The type of work  may
incorporate policy analysis and review, planning and  visioning
processes, scorecard/ranking criteria development and assessment,  and/or
other elements pertinent to the role of the applicant.

Selected  communities or states will receive assistance in the form of a
multi-day  visit from a team of experts organized by EPA and other
national partners to  work with local leaders. EPA plans to assist three
to five communities over a  period of twelve months. The Agency
anticipates announcing the selected  communities in fall of 2009.
