FY2001 - 2002 Request for Preproposals

I. SUMMARY

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Great Lakes National Program Office (GLNPO) is inviting submissions of Preproposals for innovative projects furthering protection and clean up of the Great Lakes ecosystem. The deadline for Preproposals is February 16, 2001. We are targeting a total of $3.15 million to award in the summer and fall of FY 2001 for Great Lakes projects pertaining to:

Contaminated Sediments	$1,400,000
Pollution Prevention and Reduction (Binational Toxics Strategy)	$500,000
Ecological (Habitat) Protection and Restoration	$450,000
Invasive Species	$300,000
Indicator Development	$300,000
Strategic or Emerging Issues	$200,000

Preproposals will be evaluated through the process described in this document, using both the General Criteria described in Section V and the applicable Specific Criteria described in Section VI. Work under these awards would generally be done during FY 2002.

Applicants should submit Preproposals using the PSS2001 software available from this website. We request that you also register with us now, so that we can update you on our funding process, any changed deadlines, and work we are doing to allow applicants to apply online.
