Regional Geographic Initiatives

From 1995 until 2007, Regional Geographic Initiatives (RGI) funded unique, geographically-based projects that fill critical gaps in the Agency's ability to protect human health and the environment.

RGI projects met the following criteria:

address places, sectors or innovative projects; and/or
are based on a regional, state, tribal or other strategic plan; and/or
address problems that are multi-media in nature or fill a critical gap in the protection of human health and the environment; and/or
demonstrate state, local and/or other stakeholder participation; and/or
identify opportunities for leveraging other sources of funding.
