Description
The purpose of this document is to advise the
public that NOAA/NOS/NCCOS/CSCOR is soliciting proposals for three separate
regional ecosystem prediction projects on Invasive Species in the Great Lakes - A
Regional Scale Approach, Cumulative Impacts of Stressors at the Land-Water
Interface in the Mid-Atlantic and Ecosystem Goal-Setting in Coastal Waters and
Reefs of South Florida, For the Great Lakes and Mid-Atlantic programs, projects will
be of up to 5 years in duration In the Great Lakes, proposals are requested for a
regional-scale ecosystem research study investigating recent and future changes in
water quality, habitats and populations of living resources in the context of invasive
species. For the Mid-Atlantic region, proposals are requested for a regional-scale
ecosystem research study investigating the cumulative impacts of multiple stressors
at the land-water interface of estuaries and bays on recreationally, economically or
ecologically important living resource populations and communities. Proposals for
these two programs should be regional in scale, interdisciplinary, comprehensive,
integrated, and multiple investigator to develop capabilities for innovative forecasts
and predictions for improved management and control capabilities. For the South
Florida program, proposals will be 2 _ 3 years in duration. In the South Florida
program, proposals are solicited to develop, undertake and conclude a
consensus-building process that results in scientifically-based quantifiable goals for
aquatic resources and habitats of the Florida Bay and Keys. Proposals should include
a diverse and comprehensive team of managers, scientists and NGOs and be regional in
scope. Proposals submitted to this solicitation should not have overlap with other
active NCCOS/CSCOR programs including the Coastal Hypoxia Research Program
(CHRP), Ecology and Oceanography of Harmful Algal Blooms (ECOHAB),
Monitoring and Event Response for Harmful Algal Blooms (MERHAB), and the
Ecological Effects of Sea Level Rise or previously awarded grants (see
http://www.cop.noaa.gov for program descriptions). Funding is contingent upon the
availability of Fiscal Year 2008 Federal appropriations. It is anticipated that final
recommendations for funding under this announcement will be made by April 2008
and that projects funded under this announcement will have a June through August
start date.
Electronic Access: Background information about the NCCOS/CSCOR efforts can be
