U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Launches $4.6 Billion in Competitive Grants to Cut Climate Pollution: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) launched $4.6 billion in competitive grants to fund state, local, and Tribal programs and policies that cut climate pollution, advance environmental justice, and deploy clean energy solutions across the country. EPA has already made $250 million available to fund the development of climate action plans, and nearly all states, plus major cities opted in to receive these flexible planning resources.
The Climate Pollution Reduction Grants Competitions
EPA is announcing the availability of $4.6 billion across two implementation grant competitions, one general competition and one specifically for Tribes and territories. EPA has published the two official Notice of Funding Opportunities or NOFOs for these grants competitions on View Opportunity | GRANTS.GOV View Opportunity | GRANTS.GOV
The deadline to apply to the general competition is April 1, 2024. The deadline to apply to the Tribes and territories competition is May 1, 2024. EPA estimates that the implementation grants will be awarded in Fall 2024 for the general competition and in Winter 2024-2025 for the Tribes and territories competition.

NASA probes quantum tech for sensing applications: NASA will be studying ways the agency can inject quantum information sciences into its agency missions with the opening of a new laboratory and research center in Texas that builds upon research priorities in quantum sensing applications. NASA Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy confirmed the launch of a new quantum engineering and sensing technologies laboratory at the agency’s Quantum Pathways for Space for Climate Science Research Initiative at the University of Texas at Austin. Launching Nov. 23, the research center will be underpinned by advances in quantum information sciences and work on applying quantum mechanics-based technologies, particularly sensors, in NASA missions. “That integration of those technologies into space systems is what they will be focused on, how to do that effectively and efficiently going forward,” Melroy said at the Quantum World Congress on Wednesday. At UT Austin, NASA’s forthcoming research facility will emphasize leveraging earth science applications to enhance NASA’s understanding, monitoring and predicting of climate change’s ongoing effects on the planet. More information is posted on the NextGov website.
