ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-5063-1]

 

Announcement of a Request for Preproposals From Minority Academic 
Institutions to Conduct Hazardous Substance Research, Technology 
Transfer and Training in Cooperation With EPA's Hazardous Substance 
Research Centers

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: A Request for Preproposal Applications is available. The 
purpose of the request is to set forth the eligibility and submission 
requirements, evaluation criteria and schedule for establishing 
hazardous substance research, technology transfer and training 
activities at Minority Academic Institutions (MAIs), in cooperation 
with the five Hazardous Substance Research Centers (HSRCs), as 
authorized by section 311(d) of Superfund, and as amended by section 
209 of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1988. These 
activities will be competitively awarded.
    The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognizes that 
minority academic institutions (MAIs) are underrepresented in research 
and other activities relating to hazardous substance management. To 
improve this situation, EPA is making funds available to enhance the 
ability of MAIs to participate in research, technology transfer, 
training, and academic development activities in collaboration with 
EPA's five HSRCs. The program rationale and design, areas of interest, 
eligibility requirements, and other important information are described 
in the solicitation.

DATES: All preproposals must be received at the contact points by 
October 15, 1994.

Substance Research Centers Program, Office of Exploratory Research
