Goal

Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-012409

1. A desired state of affairs that outlines the ultimate purpose of a program. This is the end toward which project or program efforts are directed.

2. In EPA grant terminology, a goal is a self-contained project (e.g., implementing WQX, implementing an electronic reporting system using shared CROMERR services). This differs from the more common definition of goal - a desired end. An Exchange Network grant application must list one or more goals.
