On September 20, 2011, SERDP released a new solicitation for the Defense Coastal/Estuarine Research Program (DCERP). Proposals are due January 5, 2012.

SERDP released a Core solicitation on October 27, 2011, seeking proposals for FY 2013 funding. All Federal and non-Federal organizations responding to the Core solicitation must submit pre-proposals no later than 2:00 p.m. EST on January 5, 2012. New this year, Federal organizations will submit pre-proposals directly to SERDP.

ESTCP will release a solicitation requesting proposals for demonstration of environmental technologies beginning in FY 2013. Details will be available under ESTCP Solicitations.

The QPR documents a project’s quarterly technical progress and allows the investigator to convey any significant technical concerns that may affect future progress. Guidance is available under Investigator Resources.

The SERDP and ESTCP Director will conduct an online seminar “ESTCP Funding Opportunities” on January 24, 2012, from 1:00-2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. This “how to play” briefing will offer valuable information for those interested in new ESTCP funding opportunities for environmental technologies. Pre-registration for this webinar is required.
