FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Kansas City, Kan., May 9, 2007) – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 7, will hold two one-day Environmental Justice (EJ) Small Grants workshops in June to help organizations apply for EPA grants. The workshops will be held on the following dates:

Each workshop will cover criteria for grant applications, preparation of the grant application, the review and selection process, and the award notification process. There will also be an overview for new grant recipients on responsibilities and successful project management. The information shared at the workshops is broad and will help in grant application preparation well beyond EJ grants.
