Grant Description: The purpose of this document is to advise eligible coastal states and project partners that NOAA's Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management is soliciting proposals for competitive funding available for land acquisition 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 should be submitted for any project that is to be considered for this funding, even for those projects already submitted as applications to other NOAA competitions. Applications selected for funding through this solicitation will be implemented through a grant, with awards dependent upon the amount of funds made available to NOAA for this purpose throught the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative administed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. NOAA anticipates that approximately $1.9 million may be available for Great Lakes Area of Concern land acquisition projects; typical awards are expected to range between $100,000 to $1.9 million. Funding is contingent upon the availability of FY 2011 Federal appropriations for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. Funds will be administered by NOAA's Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management in partnership with the federally approved Great Lakes State Coastal Zone Management Programs.
