X -- INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION GRANTS TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF VOLUNTARY ENERGY EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT TARGET PROGRAMS SOL DE-FC48-95R810549 DUE 073196. POC Juliette Fero, 202/797-6567. Industry Association Energy Efficiency Grants. The American Institute for Pollution Prevention, in collaboration with the Department of Energy, Office of Industrial Technologies, is soliciting grant applications from national industry associations for the establishment or promotion of voluntary energy efficiency improvement target programs. In order to be eligible for a grant, industry associations must either have an existing voluntary energy efficiency improvement program with established efficiency improvement targets in place, or commit to establishing such a program. It is expected that programs will have significant energy & environmental benefits nationwide. Project eligible for grants include, but are not limited to: 1) workshops, 2) training seminars, 3) handbooks, 4) newsletters, 5) data bases and, 6) other activities that directly support industrial process efficiency and avoided waste and emission generation. An example would be activities that support the Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency Climate Wise/Climate Challenge Programs. Each proposal submitted by an industry association will be reviewed and evaluated against established criteria. A total of approximately $380,000 is available for award. It is anticipated that 3-7 awards will be made. Awards are expected to be between $50,000 and $250,000, with the maximum award being $250,000. Grant funding cannot exceed 75% of the total project cost. (141)
