NOAA's Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research (CSCOR) announces the re-opening of the solicitation of proposals for the FY 2006 Coral Reef Ecosystem Studies (CRES) Program. This program was originally solicited in the Federal Register on June 30, 2005, as part of the June, 2005 NOAA Omnibus solicitation. The original deadline for receipt of proposals was 3 p.m., EST, on September 1, 2005. Due to Hurricane Katrina, NOAA re-opens the solicitation period to provide the public more time to submit proposals. The new deadline for the receipt of proposals is 3 p.m., EST, on October 12, 2005, for both electronic and paper applications. All other requirements for this solicitation remain the same. Applications that were submitted between September 1, 2005 and the date of publication of this notice will be considered timely. Click here to view this re-opening announcement.
Applicants that had already submitted proposals to comply with the September 1, 2005 deadline are welcomed, but not required, to re-submit their proposals. If you are interested in re-submitting you must follow the original process through Grants.gov but add the word “Re-submission” to the original title in the title page of the new proposal. Proposal requirements remain the same as in the first announcement.
New applicants must follow proposal guidelines available in the original CRES 2006 announcement.
