What is EPA doing to accommodate challenges applicants experience in preparing applications due to COVID-19?

Organizations and governmental entities all over the United States may be experiencing disruptions due to COVID-19. For this reason, applicants may need more time to prepare, complete, and submit applications for EPA competitive grant opportunities. EPA program offices are considering extending the due date for any competitive funding opportunities currently posted on Grants.gov and allow for longer open periods than the usual 45 days for funding opportunities they expect to announce in the next few weeks.  Applicants should check the posted announcements or email points of contact listed in the announcements for additional information.
