Weekly sweep · open funding
Funding opportunities
Federal grant opportunities in air quality, environmental science and environmental health that are open right now, refreshed weekly from Grants.gov, which carries the notices of every federal agency that posts one. Ordered by how soon they close. The rule that decided which opportunities are here is printed above the list, exactly as the build recorded it.
The deadline, award amounts and eligibility on each card are copied from the agency's own record, not written by the language model. The model describes only what a program funds. Even so, this page is a convenience copy and can be out of date or wrong: the notice on the agency's site is the one that governs, and every card links to it.

What this page is, and what it is not
Where it comes from
A scheduled job queries the Grants.gov search API once a week and writes a single JSON file that this page renders. Grants.gov is federal-wide: NSF, NASA, NOAA, EPA, DOE, NIH, USDA, Interior and the rest all post their notices of funding opportunity there. The agencies represented in this build are listed at the bottom of the page, with how many opportunities each contributed.
What decided which opportunities are on the page is stated above the list, in the build's own words, and that sentence is the whole of it. It is a phrase match, nothing cleverer. This page does not rank by fit, by prestige or by how likely you are to win, and it makes no judgement about whether you should apply.
This is a standing list rather than a news feed: it shows what is open, so the same opportunity appears week after week until it closes. Records marked forecast are announcements an agency intends to publish but has not opened yet, and they are marked separately because you cannot apply to one.
A phrase match will always let some things through that are not really about the environment, and will always miss an opportunity that describes itself in words the list does not contain. Treat the page as a starting point, not as a complete search.
What the model writes, and what it does not
Every card's deadline, award figures, expected number of awards, cost-sharing requirement and eligibility list are copied verbatim from the agency's record on Grants.gov. The language model is not shown any of them and is instructed not to state or imply them, so it cannot get them wrong. It writes only the short description of what the program funds.
The reason for splitting it that way is that the harm is lopsided. A paraphrase that loses a hedge from a news item costs you some accuracy. A paraphrase that moves a grant deadline by a week costs you the grant.
Figures appear only where the notice states one. A missing award range means the agency did not publish one, not that the award is small. An empty eligibility list means the record asserts no applicant-type restriction, which is not the same as saying anyone may apply, so the page says nothing at all rather than reassure you.
Deadlines here can be stale. Agencies amend and cancel notices, and some post a placeholder closing date years out for what is really a rolling announcement; where that happens the card says so. Before you rely on any date, open the linked notice. The paragraph at the top of the page, when one is present, was written by the same language model from the opportunities below and nothing else.
