Agency

US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

 

Description

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, aims to promote scientific progress towards preventing and controlling harmful algal blooms (HABs) by seeking applications proposing research to: (1) determine the effectiveness of existing nutrient treatment technologies; (2) evaluate the scale-up of emerging nutrient treatment technologies and develop new technologies; and (3) develop best management practices to help both rural and urban communities control nutrients in their watersheds.  Institutional cost-sharing is not required.

 

Applicants should address at least one of the three research areas described below. Applications may respond to one research area or integrate across two or three research areas.  

·         Research Area 1: Determine the effectiveness of existing nutrient treatment technologies (including agriculture conservation practices and best management practices).

·         Research Area 2: Evaluate the scale-up of emerging nutrient treatment technologies (including agriculture conservation practices and best management practices) and develop new technologies.

·         Research Area 3: Develop best management practices to help both rural and urban communities control nutrients in their watersheds.
