This presentation was delivered as an On Demand session at the Tribal Lands and Environment Forum: Virtual Gathering in August 2020 by Denise Roy and Tonya Barnett, US Environmental Protection Agency and Kami Snowden, Tribal Solid Waste Advisory Network.

The Hazardous Waste Management Grant Program for Tribes provides financial assistance to tribal governments and tribal consortia for the development and implementation of hazardous waste programs; for building capacity to improve and maintain regulatory compliance; and for developing solutions to address improper management of hazardous waste on tribal lands. This is an excellent opportunity for prospective grant applicants to gain insight from EPA on how to improve their grant applications and be more competitive. During this interactive session, the following will be addressed:

• An overview of the Hazardous Waste Management Grant Program for Tribes;
• EPA’s Perspective on How to Write a Successful Grant Application which will include the “Dos and Don’ts” of Writing a High-Quality Grant Application; and
• Examples, from a grant recipient’s first-hand knowledge of writing a successful grant application as well as the grantee’s challenges and lessons learned while developing and implementing a Hazardous Waste Management Program.
