Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA R5 GL2020 CWMP
The Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Monitoring Program grant opportunity is a discretionary funding competition run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) Action Plan III. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the EPA expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The overall purpose is to support the Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Monitoring Program (GLCWMP) by funding a single project that can carry out coordinated field sampling and analysis to produce an annual assessment of the condition, status, and trends of coastal wetlands across all five Great Lakes.
The work being requested focuses on collecting and analyzing data from multiple types of coastal wetlands, specifically riverine wetlands (associated with river mouths and connecting channels), lacustrine wetlands (influenced primarily by lake processes), and barrier protected wetlands (sheltered behind natural barriers such as dunes or bars). The intent is basin-wide coverage, meaning the monitoring is not limited to one state or one lake, but spans the entire Great Lakes system. The field sampling and analytical components imply hands-on monitoring activity such as site visits, measurements, sample collection, laboratory or data analysis, and the synthesis of findings into yearly assessments that track how wetland conditions are changing over time.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number EPA R5 GL2020 CWMP and falls within the environment funding activity category, with CFDA number 66.469. The EPA anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of $10,000,000, indicating the agency was looking for a single lead applicant (or a lead organization with partners/subrecipients) capable of managing a large, multi-year, multi-location monitoring effort at scale. Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with the note that applicants needed to consult the announcement's eligibility section for details, which typically clarifies what kinds of organizations qualify (for example, certain nonprofit organizations, academic institutions, intergovernmental entities, or other regional organizations, depending on EPA rules for that specific RFA).
Key dates included a creation date of August 27, 2020, and an original closing date of October 26, 2020, with instructions to consult the full announcement (especially Section IV) for the exact submission requirements, allowed submission methods, and any nuances around deadlines. In practical terms, applicants would have been expected to propose a project plan that demonstrates technical capability in wetland monitoring, quality assurance and quality control procedures for field and lab work, data management and reporting approaches that support annual trend assessments, and the organizational capacity to coordinate monitoring consistently across all five Great Lakes in alignment with GLRI priorities.Apply for EPA R5 GL2020 CWMP
