- What it does
- The goal of the Reducing Embodied Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Construction Materials and Products grant program is to support the development, enhanced standardization and transparency, and reporting criteria for environmental product declarations (EPDs) which include the measurement of embodied greenhouse gas emissions associated with all relevant stages of production, use, and disposal, in conformance with international standards. In support of this goal, EPA will provide grants to businesses that manufacture, remanufacture, and refurbish construction materials and products for developing and verifying environmental product declarations, and to States, Indian Tribes, and nonprofit organizations that will support such businesses. Under this program, EPA will award in FY25 up to 40 grants, some potentially as "pass-through" grants to eligible entities. Per the Code of Federal Regulations (2 CFR 200.74), a pass-through entity is defined as a non-Federal entity that provides a subaward to a subrecipient to carry out part of a federal program. This grant program will lead to progress towards achieving the objectives of Section 60112 of the Inflation Reduction Act.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
