Achieving environmental improvement at all public and private levels is a constant challenge. EPA contributes by finding ways to make environmental programs cost-effective, and by conducting and supervising research on economic analysis methods and incentives related to environmental issues, and by conducting economic analyses of Agency rules. EPA also helps by directly funding some environmental improvements. A number of EPA offices support state, local, and tribal projects through direct grants or funding for programs like State Clean Water Revolving Funds, Brownfields and other grants. The availability of EPA grants often helps local projects leverage other resources.
