BALLAST WATER TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM


Competition closed. Applications are no longer being accepted for this 2006 Program Competition. All application deadlines are now past.

The 2006 Ballast Water Technology Demonstration Program competitions have been announced in the Federal Register at 70 FR 37766, June 30, 2005. The ballast water part starts on page 37783.

Depending on funding availability, we are expecting to hold two concurrent competitions in 2006: one for technology demonstration project grants as in previous years, and one to establish a BW Research, Development, Testing and Evaluation (RDTE) facility.

Follow this link to the Federal Funding Opportunity (FFO) announcement for Treatment Technology Demonstration Projects on Grants.Gov. This competition is similar in form and purpose to the ballast water grants competitions of previous years. The Grants.Gov page includes a "Revised Full Announcement 1" that corrected a few typographical errors in the original FFO.

Follow this link to the Federal Funding Opportunity announcement for a Research, Development, Testing and Evaluation Facility on Grants.Gov. This competition is for a cooperative agreement to set up and run a ballast water facility. The Grants.Gov page includes a "Revised Full Announcement 1" that extended the preliminary proposal deadline by a few days.
