DoD FUNDING AVAILABLE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Department of Defense (DoD), through the Strategic Environmental
Research and Development Program (SERDP), is seeking to fund
environmental research and development efforts to identify, develop, and
transition the underlying science and environmental technologies that
support the long-term sustainability of DoD's training and testing
ranges as well as significantly reduce 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 FY2009 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 TUESDAY, JANUARY
8, 2008. PROPOSALS FROM THE FEDERAL SECTOR ARE DUE BY THURSDAY, MARCH
6, 2008. The SONs and detailed instructions for federal and private
sector proposers are available on the SERDP web site at
http://www.serdp.org/funding.
SERDP also will 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 FY2009, proposals are being requested that
respond to one SEED SON in Munitions Management.
All SEED proposals are due by Thursday, March 6, 2008. The SEED SON and
detailed instructions for both federal and non-federal proposers are

(http://www.grants.gov) and the CDMRP website (http://cdmrp.army.mil)
upon its release.
Requests for e-mail notification of the Program Announcement release may
be sent to prequest at constellagroup.com. For more information about the
CDMRP-sponsored programs, please visit the CDMRP website:
(http://cdmrp.army.mil).
As occurred in 2007, full proposals requesting funding from the CDMRP
programs must be submitted through the Federal Government's single entry
portal Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov) in compliance with Public Law
106-107. Program Announcements and required forms can also be found on
this website. Pre-Applications (such as a Letter of Intent or
Pre-Proposal) will also be required, and these must be submitted through
the CDMRP eReceipt website, https://cdmrp.org.
For more information about the CDMRP, previous awardees and Program
Announcements, as well as other CDMRP-sponsored programs and events,
please visit our web site: http://cdmrp.army.mil.
2) For those of you unfamiliar with the Department of Defense Peer
Reviewed Medical Research Program (PRMRP), this refers to a program that
often issues funding opportunities under military Broad Area
Announcements. This is a somewhat different format and approach than
our normal Program Announcements. One unusual feature is that a large
number of topics for research projects are written into the
Congressional language. Each year we get a lot of questions as to
whether or not a particular topic is on the list. Here is the
Congressional language from pages 356-357 of Public Law 106-107 listing
the topics: "Peer Review Medical Research Program
The conferees agree to provide $50,000,000 for the Peer Reviewed
Medical Research Program, and recommend the following projects as
candidates for study: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; alcoholism
research; blood cancer; drug abuse; epilepsy research; eye and vision
research; integrated tissue hypoxia research; Interstitial Cystitis;
inflammatory bowel diseases; leishmaniasis; Lupus; kidney cancer;
mesothelioma; multiple sclerosis; nutrition and health promotion;
Padget's [sic] disease; polycystic kidney disease; pulmonary
hypertension; scleroderma; social work research; and tinnitus. The
conferees reiterate the funds provided under the Peer Reviewed Medical
Research Program shall be used only for the purposes listed above."
If you have researchers particularly interested in military relevant
research in these topics, please encourage them to sign up for PRMRP
notification using prequest at constellagroup.com
