Environmental Protection Agency AI policy

No published policyChecked November 9, 2026

In short

EPA has not published guidance on whether grant applicants or reviewers may use generative AI. Its grant competition FAQ (December 2025) says there is no guidance on using AI when applying for an EPA grant, and its solicitation clauses and funding notices do not address it.

We found no published AI guidance. We checked Environmental Protection Agency's application guidance, FAQs, and reviewer pages as of November 9, 2026. Until it publishes a policy, follow the solicitation and your institution's rules, and treat AI-drafted text as your own work that you are responsible for.

    “There is no guidance on using artificial intelligence when applying for an EPA grant.”

This page summarizes published guidance and is not legal advice. Policies change, and a specific solicitation can add its own rules, so confirm against the funding announcement before you apply. See every funder's AI policy.
