Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA OAR OAP 19 04
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Energy and Integrated Assessment Modeling Studies" (Funding Opportunity Number: EPA OAR OAP 19 04) to support work that strengthens economic modeling and integrated assessment modeling related to air pollution. The core purpose of the competition is to improve how researchers and policymakers can analyze the intersection of economics, energy systems, and environmental outcomes, especially where different forms of air pollution are involved. Rather than focusing on a single pollutant or a single modeling framework, the opportunity emphasizes advancing the broader modeling ecosystem that connects emissions, atmospheric impacts, energy choices, and economic costs and benefits.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the EPA expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing a grant and receiving reports. In practice, that often includes coordination with agency staff on project direction, participation in planning and technical discussions, and alignment with EPA priorities for analysis and decision support. The activity category is environmental, and the program is associated with CFDA number 66.034. Eligibility is listed as "Others," with details and any restrictions or clarifications provided in the announcement's eligibility section.
The solicitation is designed around two closely related types of activities. First, it supports convening meetings of global expert modelers. The intent here is to bring together leading researchers and practitioners to share methods, identify gaps, and improve consistency and transparency across modeling approaches. Second, it supports the sponsorship of modeling studies and comparisons. That signals an emphasis on producing actionable, technically credible analyses and on comparing different models or scenarios to understand why they produce different results, what assumptions matter most, and where uncertainty is coming from. In many modeling fields, structured comparisons and intercomparison exercises are a key way to improve model quality, clarify best practices, and make results more robust for policy use.
The award structure indicates a single expected award, with a ceiling of $750,000. This suggests the EPA was seeking one primary recipient to lead a coordinated effort, likely functioning as an organizing hub for expert convenings and as a manager of the modeling studies or comparisons to be conducted under the project. The notice was created on July 22, 2019, with an original closing date of September 6, 2019, and it directs applicants to the submission instructions in Section IV of the full announcement.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as targeted support for improving the analytical tools that connect energy and economic decisions to air pollution outcomes. By funding convenings and comparative modeling work under a cooperative agreement, the EPA aimed to strengthen technical foundations, encourage alignment and cross-validation among modeling teams, and produce insights that can better inform air-quality and energy-related policy discussions.Apply for EPA OAR OAP 19 04
