GRANT SUMMARY
The National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Coastal
Ocean Program, the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Ocean
Sciences, the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of Research
and Development, National Center for Environmental Research and Quality
Assurance, and the Office of Naval Research (ONR) announce an opportunity
to conduct process-related field research, modeling, and laboratory studies
on Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs). The Ecology and Oceanography of Harmful
Algal Blooms (ECOHAB) Program will support coordinated, well-integrated,
interdisciplinary process-oriented field studies by research teams. Individual
studies will also be supported to develop predictive models and address
gaps in knowledge related to mechanisms that regulate harmful algal species.
A total of about $3 million is anticipated for FY 1997 and each of the
following four years, contingent on appropriations. Additional funds may
be made available to support this program through the National Ocean Partnership
Program, administered by the Office of Naval Research. The majority of
funding will support interdisciplinary process-oriented field studies by
research teams. Up to three integrated, interdisciplinary field studies
and up to 10 individual projects are anticipated. Final selections will
be made by May 15, 1997, for projects to begin in summer 1997. NOAA will
act as the lead agency for the ECOHAB program via the Coastal Ocean Program.
