Announcement of Opportunity
Ecology and Oceanography of Harmful Algal Blooms (ECOHAB)
The interagency program, ECOHAB, is a collaboration among five Federal agencies
(NOAA, EPA, NSF, ONR, and NASA) to provide support for research on algal
species whose populations may cause or result in deleterious effects on ecosystems
and human health. The EPA has issued a program announcement to advise the
public that the participating agencies are soliciting individual research
proposals of up to 3 years duration, and depending on appropriations, multidisciplinary
regional studies of up to 5 years duration for the ECOHAB program. The deadline
for applications is January 28, 2003 by 4:00 EST.
To apply to this announcement, applicants are advised to read the complete program announcement and Federal Register Notice. The complete program announcement, including program goals and topics, application instructions and requirements, and required forms, can be accessed on the Internet at: (http://es.epa.gov/ncer/rfa/current/2003ecohab.html)

It is anticipated that projects funded under this announcement will
have a February 1, 2004, start date.
NCCOS/CSCOR/COP is soliciting targeted research proposals for 1 to
3 years of research and development of tools, approaches and technologies
that could be included as routine components of existing Harmful Algal Bloom
(HAB) monitoring programs. NCCOS/CSCOR/COP is also soliciting proposals
from regional multi-investigator partnerships of 1 to 5 years for intensive
monitoring of HABs that build the capacity of existing local, state, tribal,
or regional coastal monitoring programs to provide early warning of HAB events
to coastal communities and increase regional ability to rapidly respond to
HAB events. Funding is contingent upon the availability of Fiscal Year 2004
Federal appropriations. It is anticipated that final recommendations for
funding under this announcement will be made in early Fiscal Year 2004.
DATES: The deadline for receipt of proposals at the
NCCOS/CSCOR/COP office is 3 p.m.,local time, June 3, 2003. (Note
