ESTCP Broad Agency Announcement
ESTCP is seeking innovative environmental and energy technology demonstrations as candidates for funding. This solicitation requests pre-proposals via calls for proposals to DoD organizations and federal (Non-DoD) organizations as well as a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for private sector organizations. The Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) and Non-DoD Federal Call for Proposals requests pre-proposals in the following topics only: (1) protection and remediation of contaminated groundwater; (2) military munitions detection, discrimination, and remediation; (3) ecosystem service methodologies and tools for department of defense installations; and (4) energy efficiency and renewable energy for DoD installations. The DoD Call for Proposals requests pre-proposals related to (1) environmental restoration; (2) munitions management; (3) sustainable infrastructure; (4) weapons systems and platforms; and (5) energy. Descriptions of these topic areas are included in Appendix A of the DoD Instructions. The due date for all pre-proposals is March 4, 2010.

Funding Available for Environmental and Energy Technology Demonstrations
ESTCP is seeking innovative environmental and energy technology demonstrations as candidates for funding. This solicitation requests pre-proposals via Calls for Proposals to DoD organizations and Federal (Non-DoD) organizations, and via a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for Private Sector organizations. Preposals are due by Thursday, March 4, 2010. Detailed instructions for DoD, Non-DoD Federal, and BAA proposers are available on the ESTCP web site at: http://www.estcp.org/opportunities.

Funding Available for Environmental Research and Development
The Department of Defense (DoD)'s Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP), is seeking to fund environmental research and development in the Environmental Restoration focus area. The Program invests across the broad spectrum of basic and applied research, as well as exploratory development. Proposals responding to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 SONs will be selected through a competitive process. Separate solicitations are available to federal and non-federal proposers. Proposals from the federal sector are due by Thursday, March 11, 2010. 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) Solicitation. The SEED Solicitation is designed to provide a limited amount of funding (not to exceed $150,000) for projects up to one year in duration to investigate innovative approaches that entail high technical risk and/or require supporting data to provide risk reduction or proof of concept. For Fiscal Year 2011, Environmental Restoration SEED proposals are requested in response to the SON: In Situ Remediation of Contaminated Aquatic Sediments. All SEED proposals are due by Thursday, March 11, 2010. Detailed instructions for both federal and non-federal proposers are available on the SERDP web site at http://www.serdp.org/funding.
