FY2001 - 2002 Request for Preproposals
PROCESS AND SCHEDULE
A broad solicitation of Preproposals is being done through direct mailings, notification in the Federal Register, and Internet posting and announcements. GLNPO will screen Preproposals upon receipt to ensure they qualify under both the Specific and General criteria. Reviewers internal and external to USEPA will also use those criteria to evaluate the remaining Preproposals. Evaluations take into account an Applicant's ranking of its Preproposals and do not penalize Applicants for submitting multiple Preproposals. Evaluations will take into account recommendations on specific needs and priorities of geographic areas within the Great Lakes, particularly those of Lakewide Management Plans for Lakes Ontario, Michigan, Erie, and Superior and their included geographic initiatives such as the Remedial Action Plans for Areas of Concern as identified in the Specific Criteria.
To obtain additional information about those needs and priorities, applicants are encouraged to consult with applicable USEPA staff in GLNPO and in Regions 2, 3, and 5. Applicants will be notified as to whether they should subsequently submit full Assistance Application Packages (full Proposals). Final funding decisions will be based upon the full Proposals.
The schedule for the remainder of this FY 2001 funding cycle is:
| Deadline for Submission of Preproposals | February 16 |
| Preproposal Reviews (internal and external) through | May 9 |
| Applicants Notified by | May 11 |
| Full Proposals due through | July 15 |
| Final Decisions/Awards | May-September 30 |
