Opportunity Summary:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 2 announced a discretionary funding opportunity focused on protecting and restoring the ecological conditions that support Pyrodinium bahamense var. bahamense, the bioluminescent dinoflagellate associated with Mosquito Bay in Vieques, Puerto Rico (often referred to as the Vieques Bioluminescent Bay Nature Reserve). The core purpose of the opportunity is to fund site-specific, innovative demonstration projects that measurably reduce pollutant inputs that can degrade the bay's water quality and habitat. In practical terms, the EPA is looking for projects that address sediment, pesticides, and/or nutrient loading entering Mosquito Bay, since these stressors can alter water clarity, change nutrient dynamics, and disrupt the ecological balance that helps sustain the bay's bioluminescent phenomenon.
Funding is provided through either a grant or a cooperative agreement, meaning the agency may take a more involved role in project coordination and oversight than with a standard grant, depending on the award structure chosen. The program falls under CFDA 66.436 (Surveys, Studies, Investigations, Demonstrations, and Training Grants and Cooperative Agreements) and is authorized under Section 104(b)(3). The EPA anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $75,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, which lowers the barrier for eligible applicants that may not have dedicated matching funds.
Eligibility is broad but still bounded by the categories listed in the announcement. Applicants may include private and public institutions of higher education, state and local governments (including counties and cities/townships), federally recognized tribal governments, and other eligible entities referenced in the full announcement. The solicitation also notes that proposals would be accepted from hospitals, laboratories, territories and U.S. possessions, international organizations, and other public and private nonprofit organizations. Because eligibility can hinge on details and definitions in the agency's formal notice, prospective applicants were directed to consult Section III of the full announcement for the definitive eligibility rules and any documentation requirements.
The opportunity timeline was straightforward. The posting and creation date were September 29, 2010, and proposals were due by November 30, 2010 (the original and current closing dates match). The opportunity was archived on December 30, 2010. The announcement also cautioned applicants to rely on the full notice, especially Section IV, for the official submission instructions, accepted submission methods, and any nuances around due dates.
For applicants who could not access the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Mrs. Elizabeth E. Van Rabenswaay at EPA Region 2, reachable by phone at 212-637-3881.
