Opportunity Title: Drivers and Environmental Impacts of Energy Transitions in Underserved Communities
Opportunity Number: EPA-G2022-STAR-F1
Description:
Specifically, this RFA seeks research that addresses the following research areas:
1. Understanding how air quality, the environment, and public health in underserved
communities might be improved through the transformations of the energy sector (e.g.,
wide-spread adoption of renewable energy sources and energy efficient technologies,
electrification of transportation services and household energy use) while minimizing
potential negative impacts;
2. Identifying approaches or strategies to ensure that energy transitions provide air quality
benefits and reduce environmental risks while meeting the energy and mobility needs of
underserved communities;
3. Understanding how socioeconomic, cultural, behavioral, institutional, and systems factors
drive individual and household decisions regarding the adoption of renewable energy
sources, energy-efficient technologies and building modifications, and new transportation
modes in underserved communities;
4. Understanding how socioeconomic, organizational, and institutional factors affect
decisions at the organizational, governmental, and community levels regarding the
adoption and diffusion of renewable energy sources, energy-efficient technologies,
building modifications, and new transportation modes in underserved communities; and,
5. Identifying and evaluating potential multi-pollutant and/or multi-sectoral approaches to
achieve climate, air quality, and other environmental goals while maximizing potential
positive impacts as well as minimizing potential negative impacts to underserved
communities arising from large-scale energy systems transformation.
