GLIN==> IISG RFP - due Feb. 24, 2003

[Lisa Merrifield <lmorrisn@uiuc.edu>]

The Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant College Program requests preproposals in
the areas of Coastal Resources and Regional Growth. Priority areas
include (1) the development of analytical methods or models that can
better identify, forecast, and assess the physical, social or economic
impacts of regional development on critical coastal resources and
habitats; (2) the creation and evaluation of new regulatory and/or
market-based management techniques and institutions that can better
reconcile the protection of critical coastal resources with the promotion
of needed new residential, commercial and industrial development; and (3)
the formulation and assessment of improved forecasting, shoreline
stabilization and improvement, and capital facilities planning techniques
that can better address the metropolitan-scale and longer-term resource
sustainability challenges posed by regional growth and global climate
change impacts in the southern Lake Michigan basin.

Priority will be given to researchers in Illinois and Indiana. 
Preproposals are due February 24, 2003. Awards of $40,000-$60,000 per
year will be made for the 2004-2006 biennium.
