This grant, offered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), aims to advance effective risk communication strategies. The purpose is to develop better ways to convey critical information during and after decontamination and clearance activities. This specifically addresses intentional biological contamination events impacting wide indoor and outdoor areas. Applicants should propose innovative methods to improve public understanding, alleviate anxiety, and encourage cooperation throughout the complex recovery process. The EPA seeks proposals that strengthen community resilience and public health outcomes by ensuring clear and timely communication of risks, safety measures, and progress during and post-event cleanups.
