Opportunity Summary:
The Lake Erie Coordinated Science and Monitoring opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number EPA-R5-GL2009-1) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, specifically EPA Region 5 through the Great Lakes National Program Office (GLNPO). The program is focused on supporting coordinated science and monitoring work that advances EPA-identified Lake Erie priorities. In practical terms, the grant is meant to fund projects that strengthen the information base for protecting and restoring Lake Erie, typically by improving how data are collected, shared, interpreted, or used for decision-making across agencies and partners working in the basin.
EPA anticipated awarding about $500,000 total under this announcement, with an estimated 5 to 10 separate awards. Individual awards were expected to fall roughly between $30,000 and $150,000, and funding could be provided either as a grant or a cooperative agreement (which generally implies a higher level of EPA involvement during the project compared with a standard grant). Applicants were allowed to submit proposals covering any or all of the eligible topic areas tied to Lake Erie priorities, but each proposal had to be submitted as a separate application package, following the submission instructions laid out in Section IV of the full announcement.
Eligible applicants included state pollution control agencies, interstate agencies, and other public agencies, as well as nonprofit private agencies, institutions, and organizations. Colleges and universities were also eligible as long as they were subject to the applicable federal assistance regulations under 40 CFR 30 or 31. For-profit organizations were not eligible. The announcement stated that there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which typically makes participation more feasible for smaller agencies, nonprofits, and academic teams that may not have dedicated match funding.
Key administrative details include a posted date of December 10, 2008, with an application closing date of February 2, 2009 (the same date listed as both the original and current closing date). The opportunity was later archived on March 4, 2009. The CFDA number associated with the program is 66.469 (Great Lakes Program), and the primary activity category is Environment. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, EPA provided a direct contact: Michael Russ at (312) 886-4013.
