This grant, offered by the EPA, aims to enhance environmental data management and sharing through the Environmental Information Exchange Network (EN). It seeks project applications that facilitate the robust sharing of environmental data, particularly using shared and reusable services. A key objective is to significantly reduce the burden and costs for both co-regulators and the regulated community. Furthermore, the grant focuses on streamlining data collection and exchange processes to ensure timelier information for critical decision-making. It also aims to boost the quality and accessibility of environmental data through improved discovery, publishing, and analytical services, making it more useful for environmental managers. Ultimately, this initiative strengthens data and IT management capabilities essential for full participation in the EN.
