About this archived opportunity

provides funding to develop an Internet-based, secure network that supports the electronic collection, exchange, and integration of high-quality data. States, territories, and tribes can find resources related to the Exchange Network Grant Program to facilitate their involvement in the development and implementation of the Exchange Network. The Exchange Network (EN) was launched in 2002 as an inter-governmental, collaborative partnership of EPA, states, territories, and Tribes to foster better environmental management and decision-making through increased access to timely, high quality environmental information. This was achieved through a standards-based approach to facilitate environmental data sharing among EPA, states, Tribes, and territories. The framework adopted allows organizations to exchange data over the Internet regardless of the specific information technology used (see also the Environmental Information Exchange Network site). The Exchange Network continues to evolve to adapt to emerging technologies and to meet new programmatic needs. Applicants are encouraged to participate in EPA’s Exchange Network Forum which is a call that is held bi-monthly to discuss how to improve and better use the Exchange Network’s services and partnerships. The Forum is open to all participants.
