Learn how your school can benefit from EPA’s school indoor air quality grantees!
Wednesday, May 13, 2026
2:00 – 3:00 p.m. ET
On a May 13 webinar, EPA will be introducing its five grantees under the Funding to Address Indoor Air Pollution at Schools grant program to showcase their work in the second year of their five-year grant projects. Schools, school districts, and school boards that join will learn how they can benefit from the resources the grantees have developed and how they can connect directly with the grantees to access no-cost assistance and resources for improving their schools’ indoor air quality (IAQ) and energy efficiency, including:
-
Training and peer networks: Local in-person workshops, virtual trainings, webinars, fellowships, recognition/mentorship opportunities, regional seminars, annual conferences, and support for building state-level school environmental health capacity.
-
Technical assistance and project management: Hands-on support to develop, implement, and sustain energy efficient IAQ management plans, including policy adoption and leadership training and mini-grants to support implementation.
-
Support with assessments and data tools: Energy efficiency assessments, IAQ monitoring, baseline assessments, benchmarking/tracking, and computational modeling/sensitivity analyses.
-
Resources and toolkits: IAQ management plan toolkit, IAQ monitoring tools, apps, factsheets, and additional guidance.
