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.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Dale Manty, Director, Hazardous
Substance Research Centers Program, Office of Exploratory Research
