If you have new staff on board, please direct them to our New Staff Toolkit, designed to help new Tribal environmental staff understand the typical activities in the first year and throughout their GAP career. Another superb resource for new and continuing staff is EPA’s Grants Management Training for Applicants and Recipients, which offers six online modules that you can complete at your leisure. When you complete a module, you can send the certificate to your Project Officer as a deliverable.

As stated in last year’s Notice of Funding Availability, the following reports are required for all grantees. Column 4 lists some EPA resources to help you get them done.
