Please see the full solicitation for complete information about the funding opportunity. Below is a summary assembled by the Research & Innovation Office (RIO).

Program Summary

The purpose of the Children鈥檚 Healthy Learning Environments Grant Initiative is to provide capacity building to address children鈥檚 environmental health in school and childcare settings. The Children鈥檚 Healthy Learning Environments Grant Initiative provides funding directly to organizations to support school- and/or childcare center-based capacity building projects that help school communities understand and address local environmental and public health issues that affect children. Capacity building projects are projects that improve the organization鈥檚 long-term effectiveness and sustainability through management practices, implementation, and dedication to achieving results towards children鈥檚 environmental health. The physical environments in which children develop play a critical role in their health, development, and safety. Children, from the fetal stage through adolescence, are in a dynamic state of growth as their nervous, respiratory, reproductive and immune systems develop and mature. Because of these developing systems, children are more vulnerable to permanent and irreversible damage from environmental hazards than adults. Distinct environments like childcare and school-based settings have unique characteristics related not only to the degree and route of exposure but also to the timing of exposures. Reducing exposures to unhealthy school and childcare settings through the adoption of healthy indoor environment best practices can lead to improving children鈥檚 health, attendance, concentration, and performance.

While this RFA is intended primarily for capacity building, it may also fund outreach and education as part of capacity building. EPA strongly encourages applicants to use existing quality, authoritative children鈥檚 environmental health training and outreach materials rather than developing new ones, because many quality materials are available, and some are under- utilized.
