Opportunity Summary:
Forums for Lakewide Management Plan Implementation is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), specifically through the Great Lakes National Program Office (GLNPO). The purpose of the announcement is to fund and support forums that help move Lakewide Management Plan (LaMP) work from planning into on-the-ground implementation for three Great Lakes: Lake Erie, Lake Michigan, and Lake Superior. The core idea is to provide structured support for stakeholder-driven coordination and implementation efforts tied to existing LaMP priorities, using organized forums as a way to align partners, share information, and advance actions that improve lakewide environmental conditions.
Funding is expected to total about $554,000 under this announcement, with EPA anticipating roughly one to three awards. Awards may be made either as grants or cooperative agreements, with individual award amounts generally ranging from about $150,000 to $300,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated in the opportunity summary, which means applicants are not expected to provide a mandatory match as a condition of receiving funds (though the full announcement may describe whether voluntary leverage is encouraged). The assistance listing associated with the opportunity is CFDA 66.469, Great Lakes Program, and the activity category is environment.
Applicants are allowed to submit proposals for one or multiple topics connected to the LaMP forum work, and they may apply for any or all of the lake areas named (Erie, Michigan, Superior). A key administrative detail is that each proposal must be submitted separately, even if a single applicant is applying to address more than one topic or more than one lake. Eligibility is not fully defined in the summary text provided and is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," with the official eligibility rules referenced in Section III of the full announcement. In practical terms, anyone considering applying would need to consult that eligibility section to confirm whether their organization type qualifies and whether there are any restrictions or priority applicant categories.
The opportunity was posted on December 16, 2008, and the application deadline (original and current) is February 9, 2009. The announcement was later archived on March 11, 2009. Submission methods and any specific due date or formatting requirements are referenced as being in Section IV of the full announcement, so applicants would have needed to follow those instructions closely to be considered.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, EPA provided two points of contact. Michael Russ is listed as the general contact at (312) 886-4013, and Lawrence Brail is listed as the submission contact at (312) 886-7474. Both are associated with the EPA Great Lakes office and would be the appropriate contacts for clarifying application logistics, submission details, and access to the full solicitation materials.
