Decisions on Proposals: FY2005 - 2006 Competitive Grants Process

June 28, 2005

Selections of Proposals submitted to the USEPA Great Lakes National Program Office (GLNPO) FY2005-2006 Funding Guidance process have been made. Earlier this year applicants submitted 211 proposals totaling $22.7 million. Fifty-one projects totaling approximately $3 million have been selected.  USEPA has also negotiated separately with the Great Lakes States to support Lakewide Management Plan and enhanced Remedial Action Plan management and implementation. As a result of the Funding Guidance and State negotiations, projects are expected to be distributed across each of the Great Lakes basins and in all eight of the Great Lakes states.

As described in the Funding Guidance, additional selections may be made between now and October, depending on the resolution of outstanding issues such as the availability of funds.  Individual e-mails will be sent today to the contacts for those projects which are still under consideration for selection.

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 - amounts may differ from what was originally proposed. USEPA staff will contact the applicants for the projects listed below and will send specific guidance for submitting the full federal application packages. Applicants who wish to do so may begin working with the forms available online at http://www.epa.gov/greatlakes/fund/appforms.html. Application packages are due by July 22, 2005. As described in the Funding Guidance, some of the projects below are expected to funded through and administered by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation as a Grants Servicing Intermediary.

Should there be questions concerning the review process or next steps, please contact the applicable person below:

This message is being sent to all applicants to the FY2004-2005 Funding Guidance. This message, along with applicant names, will be posted on the Internet at: http://www.epa.gov/greatlakes/fund/2005fund/yeslist.html. 

Please be aware that this week GLNPO is also announcing a separate Request for Proposals for Chemical Analysis of Fish Tissue for the Great Lakes Fish Monitoring Program.
