Eligible Applicants
State and local governments of the eight Great Lakes states (Illinois,
Indiana, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota and
Wisconsin), their bona fide agents or political subdivisions thereof,
and federally recognized or state-recognized American Indian tribal
governments, which includes federally recognized or state-recognized
American Indian Governments, or their Bona Fide Agents.

Description
The purpose of this funding is to provide an opportunity for eligible
applicants to assess exposure to Great Lakes contaminants and to advance
public health actions to protect people. Annex 2 of the Great Lakes
Water Quality Agreement (1987) requires these state governments to
develop and implement Lakewide Management Plans for the lake waters and
Remedial Action Plans for areas of concern. This is an applied public
health project focused on implementing public health actions such as
health assessment, health education, baseline community health status
assessment, inventories of current Great Lakes legacy and Brownfield
sites to protect the health of vulnerable or susceptible subpopulations
within the Great Lakes basin which have exposure or potentially exposure
risk to environmental contaminants associated with the Great Lakes
legacy or Brownfield sites.
