Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a Fiscal Year 2011 Request for Proposals (RFP) from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), specifically the Chesapeake Bay Program Office (CBPO). It is focused on providing coordination, facilitation, and overall support for Ecosystem based Fisheries Management (EBFM) activities carried out through the Chesapeake Bay Program partnership. The work is tied directly to the Chesapeake Bay Program's Sustainable Fisheries Goal Implementation Team (GIT), meaning the selected recipient would be helping partners collaborate, stay aligned on priorities, and move EBFM-related processes forward in a structured, organized way. The announcement notes that this is a new opportunity that had not been distributed previously.
The award is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, which typically signals that EPA expects to have substantial involvement during the project. In practice, that often means close collaboration with EPA staff and Chesapeake Bay Program partners on planning, deliverables, coordination steps, meeting facilitation, schedules, and related program management tasks that support implementation. The activity category is listed as Environment, and the associated CFDA number is 66.466 (Chesapeake Bay Program), which situates the effort within the broader Chesapeake Bay restoration and management framework.
Funding is expected to support one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $750,000. The ceiling for a single award is $750,000, while the floor is $100,000, indicating that proposals could potentially vary in scale, but the overall intent is to fund one primary recipient. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants would need to plan for meeting whatever match terms are specified in the full announcement. Because only one award is anticipated, the competition is likely structured to select a single organization capable of serving as the main coordinator and facilitator for this EBFM support function across partners.
The opportunity was posted and created on November 9, 2010, and the closing date for submissions was December 20, 2010, with an archive date of January 19, 2011. Submission instructions and exact requirements are referenced as being in Section IV of the full announcement, and eligibility details are referenced as being in Section III. The listing identifies eligible applicants generally as "Others," with clarification provided in the full text, so applicants would have needed to consult the announcement for the specific types of organizations permitted to apply and any conditions or limitations.
For applicants or interested parties who could not access the complete announcement electronically, the point of contact provided is Suzanne Hersh at 410-267-5777.
