Program objective
Fostering EPA’s partnership with states and Tribes is critical to accelerating environmental outcomes. Performance Partnership Grants (PPGs) are the cornerstone of the National Environmental Performance Partnership System (NEPPS), which aims to strengthen partnerships and build a results-based management system. PPGs allow states and Tribes to combine eligible categorical State and Tribal Assistance Grants (STAG) into a single grant with a single budget and work plan. EPA's overarching goal is to optimize the leveraging power of PPGs to focus strategically on the joint priorities of EPA and recipients in order to achieve environmental outcomes. Key objectives of NEPPS and PPGs are: (1) strengthen partnerships between EPA and recipients through joint planning, priority setting, and efficient and effective management of resources; (2) provide states, and Tribes with flexibility to direct resources where they are needed to address environmental and public health priorities; (3) link program activities more effectively with environmental and public health goals and environmental outcomes; (4) support cross-media approaches and initiatives; and (5) reduce administrative burdens and transaction costs. Through one consolidated work plan, states and Tribes can efficiently manage anticipated environmental outcomes of their PPGs.
