Special Research Grants Program: Citrus tristeza Research (CTV) Program / Grants.gov - USDA-CSREES-SRGP-000325
USDA. Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service.
The purpose of this program is to support cutting edge research that mitigates or eliminates problems caused by the Citrus tristeza virus and/or the Brown Citrus Aphid. Research using the latest technologies in new ways is encouraged. Priority will be given to applications that propose collaboration between citrus production areas, and to proposed projects that are judged most likely to result in positive short-term impacts on citrus production. Estimated total program funding is $645,000.
The closing due date is Feb 7, 2007.

Wisconsin Aquatic Invasive Species Control Grants Program
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
Eligible organizations include counties, cities, towns, villages, tribes, public inland lake protection and rehabilitation districts, town sanitary districts, school districts, nonprofit conservation organizations, lake associations, and river management organizations. Grants may be used to fund aquatic invasive species control projects for any waters of the state including lakes, rivers, streams and the Great Lakes. The grants may be used to fund education, prevention and planning projects, establish infestation control projects, or conduct early detection and rapid response projects. The budget for this grant program is $1,500,000 per year. Grant awards may fund up to 50 percent of the cost of a project up to a maximum grant amount of $75,000, except for the early detection and rapid response projects, which are eligible for a maximum grant of 50 percent of project costs up to a maximum of $10,000.
Applications must be received in DNR regional offices by Feb. 1, 2007 for the spring grant cycle (Aug 1, 2007 for fall cycle) for education, prevention and planning projects, and for established infestation control projects. Applications are accepted throughout the year for early detection and rapid response projects.

Pierce's Disease Research Proposals (open Nov 9, 2006)
The University of California (UC) Pierce's Disease (PD) Grants Program and the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) Pierce's Disease/Glassy Winged Sharpshooter Board are accepting proposals for research projects aimed at seeking solutions to the problem of Pierce's disease, a devastating disease that threatens California's grape industry.
Proposals are due Jan 16, 2007. Research contracts will be awarded for one to two years, beginning with the 2007-08 fiscal year. Award notifications will be sent out May 1, 2007, and funding is expected to be available Jul 1, 2007.

Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) (solicitation for FY 2008 was released Nov 9, 2006)
Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program.
The Department of Defense (DoD), through the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP), will be funding environmental research and development in its core thrust area of Sustainable Infrastructure. The objective of this effort it to identify, develop, and transition environmental technologies that relate directly to defense mission accomplishment through tools and techniques that will permit the DoD to manage lands in a sustainable manner for natural resources (e.g. ecosystem management, land management, maritime sustainability), cultural resources, and the built infrastructure (e.g. air/water quality, solid waste, noise). This also encompasses the technologies required to sustain deployed forces. Invasive Species has the potential to reach parties interested in this funding opportunity.
For the Core solicitation, pre-proposals from the non-federal sector are due Jan 4, 2007, and federal proposals are due Mar 8, 2007. All SEED proposals are due Mar 8, 2007.
