On behalf of the Estuary Habitat Restoration Council (Council), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is soliciting proposals for estuary habitat restoration projects. Eligible projects must provide ecosystem benefits, have scientific merit, be technically feasible, be able to adapt to the impacts associated with climate change, and be cost-effective. Projects selected for EHRP funding will be implemented through either a cost-share agreement with USACE or a cooperative agreement with USACE. All grant awards are subject to availability of funds. The Council anticipates up to $3.5 million may be available for estuarine habitat restoration; awards are limited to a range between $200,000 and $1 million. The full description and required forms will be available on </font></tt><tt><font><a href="http://www.grants.gov" target="_blank">http://www.grants.gov</a></font></tt><tt><font> starting December 12 and closing on February 12, 2013. The opportunity number is USACE-EHR-001. We expect it will be August prior to any agreements are signed. Applicants are strongly encouraged to discuss potential projects in some detail with the local Corps district staff well before the application deadline. Electronic applications submitted on Grants.gov are preferred but hard copy mailed proposals will be accepted assuming they arrive within the window specified in the announcement. <br>
