FUNDING AVAILABLE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

ARLINGTON, VA, November 9, 2006 - The Department of Defense, through the 
Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP), will 
be funding environmental research and development efforts to identify, 
develop, and transition environmental technologies that relate directly 
to defense mission accomplishment.  Proposals in the following areas are 
requested:

* Environmental Restoration - innovative technologies for the detection, 
characterization, containment, and remediation of a wide range of 
contaminants in soil, sediments, and water.

* Munitions Management - advanced geophysical sensor and signal 
processing technologies for the detection, discrimination, and 
remediation of Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) and technologies for range 
clearance and reduced generation of UXO.

* Sustainable Infrastructure - natural resources management (e.g., 
ecosystem management, threatened and endangered species, invasive 
species), facilities management (e.g., solid waste, noise, water/air 
quality, energy), and detection and evaluation of cultural resources.

* Weapons Systems and Platforms - advanced alternative environmentally 
benign technologies and materials that reduce, control, or eliminate the 
waste and emissions associated with the manufacturing, maintenance, and 
use of DoD weapons systems and platforms.

SERDP intends to fund multiple projects within each core focus area. 
Projects will be selected through a competitive selection process. 
PRE-PROPOSALS FROM THE NON-FEDERAL SECTOR ARE DUE BY THURSDAY, JANUARY 
4, 2007.  PROPOSALS FROM THE FEDERAL SECTOR ARE DUE BY THURSDAY, MARCH 
8, 2007.  Detailed instructions for federal and private sector proposers

SERDP will also be funding environmental research and development 
through the SERDP Exploratory Development (SEED) program.  The SEED 
program is designed to provide initial funding for high-risk, 
high-payoff projects.  For FY08, SEED proposals are being requested for 
Munitions Management and Sustainable Infrastructure.

All SEED proposals are due by THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 2007.  Detailed 
instructions for both federal and non-federal proposers are available on 
the SERDP web site at http://www.serdp.org/Funding/index.cfm.
