Description

SNEP’s Strategic Plan includes three overarching program goals: to ensure and support the development of 1) a resilient ecosystem of safe and healthy waters, 2) thriving watersheds and natural lands; and 3) sustainable communities. In support of these goals, SNEP has identified the need for research to fill informational/knowledge gaps in the following Priority Research Areas: • Modeling and assessing coastal lake and pond health • Lessons learned from implementing permeable reactive barriers • Eelgrass viability: flowering and seeding, impacts of climate change, long-term prognosis Applicants must address at least one of the Priority Research Areas. More details on the targeted research questions related to priority research areas can be found below. This funding opportunity is designed to support 3-6 projects that address one or more of these research areas in holistic approaches that shed light onto outstanding SNEP region questions and management challenges. Final funding will be subject to availability of funds, the quality of applicants received, and other applicable considerations described. These proposals will be reviewed by a panel of experts with substantial subject area knowledge using the evaluation criteria in Section V.
