\nAll,
\nDoes anyone have any funding suggestions for Dave (see below)?
\nThanks,

Dear colleagues,
\nI am writing to pick your brain for grants or foundations that I could look foreducational funding. I have funding for my research but I am trying to acquire money to create a national monitoring network to monitor for invasive species.<\/p>\n
To make this feasible and sustinable, I need to find funding so that educational groups have supplies and\/or buses to travel and sample in North America. If you have any ideas or contacts, please send any possibilities. Also if interested and have similar goals, you could be incorporated in the\u00a0grant.<\/p>\n
Any input and help is greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n
All the best, Date: Thu, 12 May 2005 12:50:28 -0400 I went through my files and below are a bunch of sources from my files. I didn’t have time to reread to see if they fit with your proposal, so you’ll need to go through each one. Best wishes.<\/p>\n Patagonia is offering grants to fund environmental work.

This paper, accompanied by a brief letter of inquiry, should state: the problems being addressed, the goal of the initiative, specific objectives, & accompanying Address letters to: Assessment & Watershed Protection Program Grants “Upon those who step into the same rivers different and again different waters flow.” The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP) is a long-term research program designed to statistically monitor the conditions of our Nation’s ecological resources. REMAP, which is a component of EMAP, was developed to test the applicability\u00a0of EMAP’s probabilistic approach to answer questions about ecological conditions at regional and local levels. The research projects should address real regional environmental issues where monitoring results will influence decisions; address data gaps and advance the science of ecological monitoring. Areas of emphasis for this year’s projects include approaches designed to advance integrated\u00a0monitoring. These would include (but are not limited to): Designs and tools for assessments of great\/large rivers, wetlands, and lakes. Integration of 305 (b) reports and other existing data sources with the 303(d) listing process. Improved development of biological reference conditions for establishing biological criteria. Approaches to demonstrate the effectiveness of restoration\/remediation at the watershed level.<\/p>\n The successful applicant must deliver outcomes which support the efforts at meeting longer term environmental outcomes and are linked to EPA’s Strategic Plan and EPA’s long-term research goals for Ecosystem Protection. These goals include clean and safe water, land preservation and restoration, healthy communities and ecosystems and compliance and environmental stewardship.<\/p>\n The breakdown of these goals can be found on the EPA’s website.

\nNonpoint Source Pollution (NPS) is the leading cause of water quality degradation in the US. Pollutants including: nitrogen, phosphorus, pesticides, acid mine drainage, and fecal matter are all considered nonpoint source pollutions. In 1987, Section 319(h) was added to the Clean Water Act to\u00a0create a national program to deal with nonpoint pollution. Section 319(h) authorizes EPA to disperse grant monies to states with approved NPS Assessment Reports & NPS Management Programs. On a yearly basis, the EPA allocates section 319(h) funds the states. It varies from state to state which departments\/agencies deal with nonpoint pollution. Upon the allocation of EPA section 319(h) funds to\u00a0the states, whichever state department\/agency deals with nonpoint pollution first divides the 319 monies into two categories: Incremental funds & Base funds. States decide based on priorities how to 319 funds are used. Funds are made available through subawards (contracts & subgrants) to both public & private entities. Subawardees (watershed groups) use section 319(h) funds to implement\u00a0NPS projects. A nonfederal match is required to go along with the section 319(h) grant.<\/p>\n

\nRequest for Proposals FY 2005
\nDue date: February 16, 2005
\nSummary: Assessment and Watershed Protection Program Grants (AWPPGs) provide eligible applicants an opportunity to conduct projects that promote the coordination and acceleration of research, investigations, experiments, training, demonstrations, surveys, and studies relating to the causes, effects (including health and welfare effects), extent, prevention, reduction, and elimination of water pollution. The goals of this program include supporting a watershed approach to better address water quality problems in the US and building the capacity of all levels of government to develop and implement effective, comprehensive programs for watershed protection, restoration, and\u00a0management. These are tied into goals two and four (clean and safe water) of the EPA Strategic Plan, which includes restoring and maintaining watersheds and their aquatic ecosystems and oceans in order to protect human health, support economic and recreational activities, and provide healthy habitat for fish, plants, and wildlife. States and local governments, nonprofits, and nongovernmental institutions and individuals are eligible to apply. Grant awards from $5,000 to $80,000 More info: www.epa.gov\/owow\/AWPPG_RFIP_2005-1.pdf<\/a>
\nThe proposals must be submitted in their entirety, no more than six pages, in electronic form to awppg@epa.gov
\nWatershed Program priorities contact Tim Icke 202-566-1211
\nNonpoint Source Program priorities contact Katie Flahive 202-566-1206<\/p>\n
\nRegional Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program Research Projects<\/p>\n
\nProvide environmental managers and researchers with a better understanding of links between human activities, natural dynamics, ecological stressors, and ecosystem conditions. Provide tools that managers and researchers can use to predict stressors on ecological resources. Provide scientifically defensible methods for protecting and restoring the ecosystem condition.<\/p>\n
