Are we expected to provide freezer space for long-term storage of fish samples?

Can you send an example of a similar submission to get a better sense of how much info should be included?

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.
