Through the Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmakers (Grantmakers) Program (EJ TCGM), EPA has selected 11 Grantmakers who will issue thousands of subgrants to community-based nonprofits and other eligible subrecipients for assessment, planning, and project development activities.
It is important to note that for any project that involves collecting, producing or using environmental data, a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) is required. A QAPP spells out how you will collect data, analyze it and how you will uphold quality assurance in your project.
To assist Grantmaker applicants, EPN has created a short guide to explain what a QAPP is, projects that don’t require a QAPP as well as examples of activities that would trigger a QAPP, and a suggested approach for determining if your planned project would require a QAPP. In addition, we have created a QAPP template that provides and overview of QAPP elements.
