THE COOPERATIVE INSTITUTE FOR COASTAL AND 
ESTUARINE ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY 
(CICEET)

Announcement of FY 2003 Funding Opportunities

November 27, 2003

	
The NOAA/UNH Cooperative Institute for Coastal and 
Estuarine Environmental Technology (CICEET), located 
at the University of New Hampshire, is pleased to 
announce three funding opportunities for FY 2003.  This 
year, CICEET is inviting 1) preliminary proposals for the 
annual  Environmental Technology Program; 2) 
proposals to conduct short-duration, low-cost, "proof of 
concept" development projects, and 3) proposals for 
Technology Transfer projects.  The requests for 
proposals and related information are posted on the 
CICEET website http://ciceet.unh.edu under "Funding 
Opportunities". 

The deadlines for receipt of proposals are January 7th 
for the Environmental Technology Program preliminary 
proposals, January 13th for Development Project 
proposals, and January 22nd for Technology Transfer 
proposals.  

Details on focus areas, specific requirements and 
submission guidelines for each solicitation are posted 
online.   While we invite inquiries about all three 
solicitations, we strongly encourage potential 
applicants for the Technology Transfer RFP to contact 
the program directors prior to submitting proposals.
 
CICEET was established in 1997 as a national center 
for the development and application of innovative 
environmental technologies for monitoring, 
management, and prevention of contamination in 
estuaries and coastal waters.  It is a unique 
partnership between the University of New Hampshire 
(UNH) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration (NOAA), and promotes collaboration 
among academia, government, and the private sector.  
CICEET is governed by a Memorandum of 
Understanding (MOU) between NOAA and UNH and is 
jointly managed by UNH and NOAA Co-Directors. 
CICEET uses the capabilities of UNH, the private 
sector, academic and public research institutions 
throughout the U.S. as well as the 24 reserves in the 
National Estuarine Research Reserve System to 
develop and apply new environmental technologies 
and techniques.
