- Technical Assistance to Brownfields Communities (TAB)
The TAB grants provide geographically-based
technical assistance and training to communities and other stakeholders on brownfields issues with the goal of increasing the
community's understanding and involvement in brownfield cleanup and revitalization. The TAB grants serve as an independent
source of information assisting communities with community involvement, better understanding the health impacts of brownfield
sites, science and technology relating to brownfield site assessment, remediation, and site preparation activities, brownfield
finance questions, and information on integrated approaches to brownfield cleanup and redevelopment.

- The Hazardous Substance
Research Centers (HSRC)
is a national organization comprising five multi-university centers,
which provide basic and applied research, technology transfer, and
training related to hazardous substance management. Each of the centers
address hazardous substance issues through approaches and outreach
programs that are unique to their region.
- Sustainable Management Approaches and Revitalization Tools electronic
SMARTe is a joint effort of the U.S.-German Bilateral Working Group, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the Interstate Technology Regulatory Council (ITRC) Brownfields Team. The tool is intended to be used by brownfield project stakeholders for assessing both market and non-market costs and benefits of redevelopment options, clarifying both private and public financing options, evaluating and communicating environmental risks, and easing access to pertinent state-specific information related to specific projects. SMARTe will provide the analytical tools needed to implement and integrate each component of the decision process.
- Vision to Action with the COE and the EPA Brownfields Program
The Vision-to-Action tool is a process designed to inspire community members to: (1) visualize what they value about the place they live and/or visualize how they would like their community to change and (2) translate their visualizations into the actions needed to bring their visions into reality. The process utilizes an artist to facilitate the visualization and to help people get in touch with features that make communities unique and livable.
