National Grants
National Clean Diesel Campaign - In 2009, EPA’s National Clean Diesel Campaign is distributing funding for clean diesel activities through two separate funding sources:
the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) ($300 Million), and EPA’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 Appropriations.
An expedited process is currently underway for distribution of the Recovery Act funding. The distribution of the FY 2009 Funding will occur later this year.
