R&D Grants
Pursuant to its power to engage in research and development with respect to wastewater, water management facilities, solid waste facilities, and energy resource development facilities, OWDA has established a grant program for qualifying research and development programs. The eligible participants are Local Government Agencies that perform research and/or development.
Projects for which grants are awarded must be of such a nature that the benefits to be derived fulfill a general need in the State of Ohio that is within the scope of the powers of the Authority. Grants are subject to available funds and recommendation by the director of a department of the state government which is responsible for oversight. Priority will be given to projects that have statewide environmental and/or natural resource applications, and grantees must submit a final report.
Since the development of the Research and Development Grant Program, OWDA has awarded grants in the areas of surface water, wastewater, drinking water, solid waste, livestock, and public health. A summary of these grants and final reports can be found in the following links:
