Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through its Chesapeake Bay Program Office (CBPO), issued a Fiscal Year 2011 Request for Proposals to fund support for the Chesapeake Bay Program's Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee (STAC). The purpose of this opportunity is to select a recipient that can provide scientific and technical support services that help Chesapeake Bay Program partners use sound science and expert advice in planning and decision-making. The announcement notes that it was a new posting that had not previously been distributed, and it is framed as a discretionary environmental funding opportunity to strengthen the Bay Program's science and technical advisory capacity.
This competition was released under Funding Opportunity Number EPA R3 CBP 11 03, with funding provided through a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement generally indicates that EPA expects to have substantial involvement during the project period, meaning the selected recipient would likely coordinate closely with CBPO and work in an ongoing partnership rather than operating entirely independently. The assistance listing is under CFDA 66.466, the Chesapeake Bay Program, aligning the work with broader federal efforts to protect and restore the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
EPA anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,475,000. The expected award size ranged from a floor of $2,175,000 to a ceiling of $2,475,000, indicating a relatively narrow band and suggesting EPA had a clear expectation for the scale of work and staffing needed to support STAC functions. The opportunity also required cost sharing or matching, so applicants needed to plan for non-federal contributions consistent with the terms described in the full announcement.
Key dates included an initial posting date of December 23, 2010, and an original closing date of February 5, 2011. The deadline was later extended, with a current closing date of March 7, 2011. The archive date was April 6, 2011. Applicants were directed to consult the announcement, especially Section IV, for the official submission instructions, acceptable submission methods, and precise due date requirements, which typically include details such as formatting, required forms, delivery platforms, and time-of-day cutoffs.
Eligibility was listed broadly as "Others," with direction to review Section III of the announcement for specifics. That wording usually signals that eligibility may include certain types of organizations that do not fit neatly into standard categories, such as nonprofit organizations, universities, research institutions, or similar entities capable of convening experts and managing science advisory and coordination functions. The notice emphasized that prospective applicants should rely on the full text in Section III for definitive eligibility rules and any exclusions.
For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the point of contact provided was Suzanne Hersh at 410-267-5770. This contact detail indicates EPA's intent to ensure access to the complete requirements, which is important because the summary information alone does not include the detailed scope of work, deliverables, evaluation criteria, budget instructions, or administrative terms that typically govern cooperative agreements supporting advisory and technical functions.
