Learn the Issues

My organization has staff that collaborate with EPA GLNPO staff as part of another program. Are they able to participate in our submission to the Fish Monitoring Program?

An organization's or their staff's participation in another GLRI program does not, itself, disqualify them from participating in an application to the Fish Monitoring Program. However, any potential conflicts of interest should be communicated to the NOFO Administrative Lead and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
