Opportunity Summary:
The Department of Defense (DoD) Legacy Resource Management Program (FY 2013) is a discretionary funding opportunity that supports projects aimed at strengthening military readiness while improving how the DoD manages its natural and cultural resources. The program sits within the broader DoD Natural Resources and Cultural Resources missions, and its core purpose is practical: help installations and units carry out training and operational requirements while also promoting long-term stewardship of important environmental and heritage assets located on or affected by military lands.
Funding is offered through cooperative agreements, which generally means the government expects to be more actively involved than it would be with a standard grant. Projects are expected to align with the program's "Areas of Emphasis" described in the Legacy materials (the announcement points applicants to the Legacy Guidebook for the authoritative list and the detailed submission rules). The opportunity covers work in areas such as education, environment, natural resources, science and technology, and other research and development topics, as long as the proposed effort clearly supports mission needs and improves resource management outcomes.
The application process is explicitly two-phase. Every applicant must first submit a pre-proposal. Legacy Program reviewers screen these pre-proposals to decide which ideas merit further development. After that initial review, applicants are either rejected or invited (encouraged) to submit a full proposal. This structure is meant to reduce unnecessary effort for applicants and reviewers by ensuring only the most promising concepts move forward to the full proposal stage. The announcement emphasizes following the Legacy Guidebook, since it contains the step-by-step instructions, required content, formatting expectations, and process details.
In terms of funding size, awards range from a floor of $5,000 up to a ceiling of $300,000. The opportunity states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically lowers barriers to entry for applicants that may not have discretionary funds available to contribute. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject to any clarifications that may appear in the official eligibility language in the full announcement and guidebook.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number DOD LEGACY 2013, with the opportunity managed through the Engineer Research and Development Center. The original and current closing date listed is August 30, 2012, with a posting date of July 16, 2012 (and an archive date of September 29, 2012), reflecting that this is a time-bounded FY 2013 call. Submissions must be made through the Legacy Tracker website, which is the required electronic portal for this program. For access issues or help obtaining the full announcement, the listed contact is David Ammermann, Contract Specialist and Legacy Liaison, at 217-373-4490.
