EPA is providing $25 million for data modernization and information integration efforts to further its working partnership with states and tribes. The National Environmental Information Exchange Grant Program is designed to address several key e-government challenges: improve the quality of environmental data; make the flows of data between EPA, states, tribes and other partners more efficient; reduce reporting burden; and improve access to environmental data. The goal of the Exchange Grant Program is to advance the National Environmental Information Exchange Network which will transform and facilitate the exchange of information. The types of grants being offered include: grants to enable states and tribes to re-engineer their environmental reporting; grants to demonstrate progress in validating the Network; and challenge grants that pursue state or multi-state or tribal collaborative efforts to integrate environmental information.
