Decisions on Proposals: FY2004 - 2005 Competitive Grants Process

Selections of Proposals submitted to the USEPA Great Lakes National Program Office (GLNPO) FY2004-2005 Funding Guidance process for competitive grants have been made. Earlier this year in response to GLNPO's solicitation for $3.78 million in FY04 funding, applicants submitted 265 proposals totaling $25 million. 77 projects totaling approximately $3.8 million have been selected. Projects are distributed across each of the Great Lakes basins, with two or more projects located in each of the Great Lakes states. GLNPO is now requesting full grant applications for the projects identified at the end of this message.

Applicants should be aware that the final decisions on whether to fund particular projects will only be made following evaluations of the full federal application packages. Additional negotiation may be necessary regarding project scopes and amounts. USEPA staff will contact the applicants for the projects listed below and will send specific guidance for submitting the full federal application packages, though applicants who wish to do so may begin working with the forms available online at http://www.epa.gov/greatlakes/fund/appforms.html. Those packages are due by July 15, 2004.
