The EPA has recently announced more than $156 million worth of diesel retrofit projects will be funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, yet this represents only about 13 percent of the almost 600 applications it received under the National Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program.

The Diesel Technology Forum is hosting a webinar that offers a closer look at the recent funding round to understand what projects were funded, which evaluation criteria proved most difficult and how applicants can improve their chances for success in the next round of funding this fall.

Two live sessions will be offered September 2, 2009 at 10:00am and 1:30pm EDT.

The webinar will last 90 minutes and give participants the opportunity to pose questions to EPA officials. Space is limited so early registration is recommended. For more information visit www.dieselforum.org/webinars.
