GLIN==> NOAA's Great Lakes Habitat Restoration Program Funding Opportunity

NOAA's Great Lakes Habitat Restoration Program has released a federal 
funding opportunity (FFO) for habitat restoration in Great Lakes Areas 
of Concern. The FFO is available at www.grants.gov 
<http://www.grants.gov>, funding number NOAA-NMFS-HCPO-2011-2002872.  
The closing date is February 2, 2011.

Through this solicitation, NOAA seeks to openly compete funding 
available for habitat restoration in U.S. Great Lakes Areas of Concern 
(http://www.epa.gov/glnpo/aoc/) under the Great Lakes Restoration 
Initiative as anticipated in the President's FY2011 Budget.

Applications selected for funding through this solicitation will be 
implemented through a grant or cooperative agreement, with awards 
dependent upon the amount of funds made available to NOAA for this 
purpose by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. NOAA anticipates up 
to $5 million may be available for habitat restoration; typical awards 
are expected to range between $1 million to $4 million. NOAA will also 
accept proposals for engineering and design of habitat restoration 
projects; typical awards are expected to range between $75,000 and 
$350,000.

If you have any questions regarding this funding opportunity, please 
contact either Julie Sims (julie.sims at noaa.gov
