FY 2006/2007 Targeted Watersheds Grant Program: Request for Proposals for Capacity Building Projects: Grants awarded under this announcement may involve Geospatial Information. EPA is soliciting proposals from entities to provide capacity building, training, and education services to watershed organizations. EPA is requesting capacity building proposals with either a national scope (i.e., serving watershed organizations nation-wide), or with a geographic or ecoregional scope. Proposals serving the Great Plaines, Arid West, and/or Appalachia are encouraged. These capacity building cooperative agreements will help watershed organizations examine water-related problems in the context of the larger watershed in which they exist, develop solutions to those problems by creatively applying the full array of available tools, including federal, state, and local programs, and restore and protect water resources through strategic planning and implementation that draw in public and private sector partners. The goal of the capacity building component of the Targeted Watersheds Grant program is to develop capacity so that watershed groups are able to implement environmental restoration and protection measures.
