Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA R3 CBP 25 01
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is offering a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled Chesapeake Center for Collaborative Computing (C4) under Funding Opportunity Number EPA R3 CBP 25 01 (CFDA 66.466). The Chesapeake Center for Collaborative Computing is described as a cloud-based infrastructure that serves the Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) partnership by enabling the collection, aggregation, storage, analysis, and dissemination of data. In practical terms, this program is focused on maintaining and improving the shared data and computing environment that partners rely on to manage information, run analyses, and share results tied to Chesapeake Bay restoration and management activities.
The funded recipient will function as the administrator and operator of the C4 environment. The core responsibilities include operating and maintaining the existing cloud and related systems, ensuring the environment is reliable and secure, and keeping services running day-to-day. Beyond routine operations, the recipient is expected to expand and enhance the infrastructure as CBP partnership needs evolve over time, which implies ongoing development, scaling, modernization, and potential onboarding of new tools, datasets, workflows, or user groups. A key expectation is continuous assessment of new and emerging technologies so the platform remains cost-effective and efficient, meaning the operator should be prepared to evaluate options that could improve performance, reduce operating costs, strengthen cybersecurity, or increase usability and collaboration across partners.
A notable component of this opportunity is the requirement to provide on-site support to non-federal partners located at the Chesapeake Bay Program Office (CBPO) in Annapolis, Maryland. This indicates the project is not purely remote or purely technical; it also involves user-facing support, coordination with partner organizations, and hands-on assistance to ensure non-federal participants can effectively use the C4 environment and services.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means EPA anticipates substantial involvement during the project period, such as collaboration on technical direction, priorities, performance expectations, and coordination with the broader CBP partnership. The program anticipates making one award, with an award ceiling of $7,750,000. The original application closing date is September 10, 2025, and the opportunity was created on July 23, 2025. Eligibility is listed generally as "Others," with the specific eligibility requirements and any limitations referenced as being detailed in Section 2 of the Notice of Funding Opportunity, so prospective applicants would need to consult that section to confirm they qualify and to understand any partnership, location, or organizational-type requirements.Apply for EPA R3 CBP 25 01
