[CPEO-MEF] TECHNOLOGY: Environmental Research and Development solicitation

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@cpeo.org>]

<>FUNDING AVAILABLE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

ARLINGTON, VA, November 6, 2008—The Department of Defense (DoD), through 
the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP), is 
seeking to fund environmental research and development efforts. The 
development and application of innovative environmental science and 
technology supports the long-term sustainability of DoD’s installations 
and ranges, as well as significantly reduces current and future 
environmental liabilities. Proposals responding to focused Statements of 
Need (SON) 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 (e.g.,
     ecosystem-based management; threatened, endangered, and at-risk
     species; land management and watershed protection; and maritime
     sustainability), facilities (e.g., installation/regional
     sustainability, energy, noise, air and water quality, and facility
     waste), and 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.

Proposals responding to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 SONs will be selected 
through a competitive process. The Core Solicitation provides funding in 
varying amounts for multi-year projects. For the Core Solicitation, 
PRE-PROPOSALS FROM THE NON-FEDERAL SECTOR ARE DUE BY THURSDAY, JANUARY 
8, 2009. PROPOSALS FROM THE FEDERAL SECTOR ARE DUE BY THURSDAY, MARCH 
12, 2009. The SONs and detailed instructions for federal and private 
sector proposers are available on the SERDP web site at 
www.serdp.org/funding <http://www.serdp.org/funding>.

SERDP also will be funding environmental research and development 
through the SERDP Exploratory Development (SEED) Solicitation. The SEED 
Solicitation is designed to provide a limited amount of funding (not to 
exceed $150,000) to investigate new environmental technologies with 
innovative approaches that entail high technical risk and/or have 
minimal supporting data that provide risk reduction and/or proof of 
concept. For FY 2010, proposals are being requested that respond to one 
SEED SON in each of the following focus areas: Munitions Management, 
Sustainable Infrastructure, and Weapons Systems and Platforms.

ALL SEED PROPOSALS ARE DUE BY THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 2009. The SEED SONs 
and detailed instructions for both federal and non-federal proposers are 
available on the SERDP web site at www.serdp.org/funding 
<http://www.serdp.org/funding>.

JOIN US! At the Partners in Environmental Technology Technical Symposium 
& Workshop, December 2-4, 2008, in Washington, DC. SERDP’s Executive 
Director Dr. Jeffrey Marqusee will conduct a SERDP Funding Opportunities 
session on December 4, 2008, 12:15-12:45 PM. This “how to play” briefing 
will offer information for those who are interested in new funding 
opportunities within SERDP. During this session, participants may ask 
general questions about the funding process, submitting proposals, and 
the current FY 2010 SERDP solicitation. To learn more about the 
Symposium or to register, visit www.serdp-estcp.org/symposium2008/
