Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA R3 CBP 21 06
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through its Chesapeake Bay Program Office (CBPO), issued a Fiscal Year 2021 Request for Applications (RFA) seeking one organization to provide comprehensive strategic communications and media support for the Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) and its partners. The opportunity is structured to strengthen how the CBP communicates priorities, progress, and outcomes across the Chesapeake Bay watershed, with an emphasis on planning and delivering communications that help drive and document prescribed environmental results. In practical terms, the selected recipient would serve as a central communications support resource for the partnership, helping translate complex environmental work into clear, consistent messages and products that can reach a range of audiences.
The grant is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning EPA anticipates substantial involvement during project implementation rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The work scope centers on strategic communication planning and execution, media relations, and the development and distribution of communication products. Deliverables are expected to span multiple formats, including print materials, web content, and multimedia assets. The intent is not just to create standalone products, but to implement an integrated communications approach that supports the program's environmental goals throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
Key funding details indicate a single anticipated award with an award ceiling of $3,300,000, reflecting a large, centralized communications effort rather than multiple smaller awards. The funding opportunity number is EPA R3 CBP 21 06, and it is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to under assistance listings) number 66.466, which aligns with Chesapeake Bay program assistance. The activity category is environment, consistent with the CBP's overall mission to protect and restore the Bay and its surrounding watershed.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with clarification referenced in the announcement's additional eligibility information, suggesting that applicants likely need to consult the full RFA for precise requirements about organizational type and any restrictions or preferences. The announcement was created on June 14, 2021, with an original closing date of August 2, 2021, and the agency directs applicants to review Section IV of the full announcement for detailed submission instructions and any additional requirements. Overall, the opportunity is essentially a competitively selected, high-capacity communications support award intended to help the Chesapeake Bay Program coordinate messaging, improve media engagement, and produce and distribute public-facing communications products that reinforce measurable environmental outcomes.Apply for EPA R3 CBP 21 06
