Applications submitted in response to this funding opportunity that will receive must address one of the following five broad categories:   

  • community-led air and other pollution monitoring, prevention, and remediation, and investments in low- and zero-emission and resilient technologies and related infrastructure and workforce development that help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants;

  • reducing indoor toxics and indoor air pollution; or
