About this opportunity
The EPA STAR program seeks applications for research characterizing indicators of resilience for coastal ecosystems providing climate mitigation and adaptation benefits. Proposals are also sought to advance economic valuation methods for resilience services from coastal ecosystems. Eligible applicants include institutions of higher education, hospitals, state and local governments, tribes, and nonprofits. The agency expects to award approximately $8.4 million to support an estimated 7 grants of up to $1.2 million each. Applications must propose research that quantifies resilience metrics and values resilience services to inform coastal management, and will be evaluated based on scientific and technical merit. Complete proposals are due May 1, 2024.
Individual awards up to $1.2 million will be made to support research expected to be conducted within coastal ecosystems across the United States. Funded through the STAR Research Program, total funding of approximately $8.4 million is available to recipients performing work advancing the agency's understanding of coastal resilience and valuation of associated benefits.
Synopsis
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, aims to promote scientific progress towards the understanding of coastal ecosystem resilience by seeking applications proposing research to 1) characterize, quantify, and define indicators or metrics of resilience for various types of coastal ecosystems, especially those ecosystems that have climate mitigation and adaptation and/or blue (ocean-stored) carbon sequestration potential and 2) develop methods and approaches to advance economic valuation of resilience benefits provided by coastal ecosystems.
