This funding opportunity seeks to advance the understanding of climate hazard (e.g. extreme heat, sea level rise, flooding and extreme weather events) effects on communities that are overburdened by environmental hazards (e.g., heat-related stress, air and water contaminants).

Cross-sectoral project teams, including the participation of public, private and non-profit organizations, and state, local and tribal governments are encouraged.
GRP has made a total of $5.5 million available to support projects under this funding opportunity and anticipates making individual awards ranging from $1 – 1.5 million for projects not exceeding three years in duration. See the full RFA for more details.
