OVERVIEW 

This research solicitation relates to the continuation of a restoration program being 

implemented in Everglades National Park, by the South Florida Natural Resources Center 

(SFNRC). The program involves the restoration of wetlands from abandoned agricultural 

lands, also known as the Hole-in-the-Dohut (HID). A comprehensive research and 

monitoring program is being implemented in conjunction with the restoration activities. 

The objective of the program is to aid the restoration and long-term management of the 

restored site. 

This solicitation is for proposals that compliment the ongoing restoration program and 

lead to knowledge that enhances the capability of Everglades National Park to restore and 

manage the HID area. Detailed information regarding the project background, program 

objectives, information presently available, critical research topics and questions, 

program scope, and purpose, may be found in the document titled "Restoring Wetlands 

on Abandoned Agricultural Lands in Everglades National Park; A Strategic Plan for 

Guiding the Research. Monitoring. and Management of the "Hole-in-the-Donut (HID)" 

Restoration Program" (Strategic Plan). All scientists submitting a proposal for this 

restoration program should carefully read the Strategic Plan to understand the intent of 

the restoration program and the requisite focus of the research. 

This document, the Strategic Plan, and other information relating to the HID Restoration 

Program may be accessed on the Everglades Information Network and Digital Library's 

World Wide Web site. The Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is:

Keywords: Restoration, Abandoned Farmland, Everglades National Park, Research 

Proposal Guidelines, Hole-in-the-Donut, Wetlands, Research Solicitation 

PURPOSE 

This document contains the guidelines for submitting a research proposal for the HID 

restoration program. These guidelines identify the requirements and format for research 

proposals, and outline the two-step process for proposal submittal, review, and integration 

of individual projects into the larger research program. 

PARTICIPATION 

Scientists at accredited Universities or other non-profit research institutions may apply. 

Investigators that are new· to or unfamiliar with the Everglades, the South Florida 

Ecosystem Restoration Program, or the HID Restoration Program are encouraged to 

7 / 8/ 971 : 39 PMC: IDA T A I DONUT\ T A RGETISCIPLA NIG UIDELNS. DOCIG UIDE1. DOC 5 
collaborate with scientists familiar with the area. University sponsorship, at least as costsharing or in-kind services, is strongly encouraged. Proposals that integrate several key 

research topics or questions, and objectives (detailed in the Strategic Plan), and are 

collaborative across disciplines will be more competitive. Scientists may submit no more 

than two research proposals in any combination of being a Principal Investigator or 

Associate Investigator. All work will be funded only through Cooperative Agreements 

with Everglades National Park. 

STUDENT P ARTICIP A TION 

Full time students at accredited Universities are encouraged to apply for research support. 

Only students from institutions who have been awarded funding (previously or through 

this solicitation) for research projects related to this program may apply. Student project 

funding is limited as follows: 1) undergraduate student projects are limited to one year 

and may not exceed a total of $2,000.00, 2) Master's Degree projects are limited to two 

years and may not exceed a total of $8,000.00, and 3) Doctoral projects are limited to 

three years and may not exceed a total of $18,000.00. Student projects may not include 

salary or capital equipment. However, a summer stipend will be considered, if 

sufficiently justified. Funding will be obligated one year at a time. Upon satisfactory 

completion and acceptance of the first year's work, the following year's funding will be 

obligated. No indirect costs are allowed for student grants. Student proposals must be 

submitted with 2 letters of recommendation from faculty members familiar with the 

student's planned study. Applications and award for a student project do not preclude 

student collaboration as a co-investigator in other unrelated proposals. 

Student Proposals are to follow the same format as described on page 7, 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPOSALS, and are limited to a maximum of 7 pages, 

inclusive of parts 2-8. Review and acceptance of student proposals will be completed by 

SFNRC staff and collaborators. 

SIZE OF AWARD 

Project funding is expected to range from about $15,000 to $75,000 per year for a 

maximum of 5 years. Proposal and indirect costs will be carefully reviewed. We will 

consider proposals that make a substantial case for greater funding or for longer project 

duration. Justification for larger budgets or longer duration should include: (a) a multiinvestigator/campus component, or (b) the integration of several inter-related, interdisciplinary research project proposals into a greater whole through collaboration. (For 

example, if an investigator(s) proposes to evaluate vegetation patterns in relationship to 

nutrients, hydrology, and soils, that investigator(s) would enhance hislher proposal's 

competitiveness through collaboration with other scientists specializing in hydrology, 

nutrients, or soil dynamics. Elimination of duplicate data collection, where unnecessary, 

71 8/ 972:39 PMC: \ DA TA \ DONUT\TARGET\ SCIPLAN\ GUIDELNS ,DOC\ GUIDE1 ,DOC 6 
is the goal.) However, if a number of scientists submit proposals as an integrated package, 

individual proposals should stand on their own merits. 

Only the fIrst two years of a project's funds will be obligated irrespective of project 

duration. This will allow us to carefully review the fIrst two years research prior to 

further fInancial obligations. If the project duration is less than three years only one-half 

the funding will be obligated initially. Upon project completion, those that receive 

positive reviews and recommendations for continuation, may, at the Park's discretion, be 

extended. 

INDIRECT COSTS 

Indirect costs must be clearly delineated in the budget. Everglades National Park will 

only pay existing negotiated rates of indirect costs to institutions with existing master 

agreements, or HID project specifIc cooperative agreements. For, institutions that 

currently have no cooperative agreement with the Park, the Park will not fund any 

proposals where indirect costs exceed 20%. Institutions are encouraged to seriously 

consider indirect cost below 20%, either by reducing indirect costs requested, or through 

cost-share. 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPOSALS 

Preparation of the Proposal - Phase One 

Phase one includes the preparation and submission of the research proposal itself. The 

details of proposal preparation are outlined in this document. A pre-proposal meeting 

(attendance advised but not required) will be held where we will provide a review of the 

current HID restoration program, the Strategic Plan, and proposal guidelines. This will 

provide an opportunity for potential proposers to visit the restoration site and ask 

questions regarding any aspect of the project or of proposal preparation. 

No unsolicited additions or amendments to the proposal will be accepted after 

submission. The Strategic Plan should be used as a format guide for headings, 

indentations, capitalization, etc. 

The sum and substance of the proposal (inclusive of elements 2-8 below) may not exceed 

15 pages. However, all of the following items should be included in the submittal 

package, in the order listed: 

Proposals not meeting the following instructions may be returned to the PI without 

review.

Preparation of the Proposal - Phase Two 

Phase two occurs after the proposals are reviewed and accepted for funding. It involves 

the review, by each project proposer, of all other funded project proposals and reports. 

This step is a key element of the overall process. It will ensure that all researchers are 

aware of all other research projects being implemented. The greatest level of 

collaboration, integration, and shared understanding of the collective research enterprise 

is the goal. 

After project award, all PI's will be required to attend a review meeting (collaborators are 

encouraged to attend). Each PI will be expected to make a 10 -15 minute presentation 

regarding their proposed research and describe where and how their work integrates with 

other projects, and to which projects. Attendees also will evaluate the collective research 

enterprise for errors of omission or commission. 

As a final element of the proposal, each PI must prepare a "Statement of Integration" 

(limited to a maximum of three pages, excluding figures), describing how their proposal 

relates to other proposals. This is a key element of the process. Use the "Statement of 

Integration" to describe the relevance of your work to other individual projects and to the 

overall Restoration Program. Indicate which Major Research Topic areas and Central 

Research Questions your work proposes to answer and how it addresses one or more of 

the Primary Goals.

PRIORITY RESEARCH OBJECTIVES, QUESTIONS, AND TOPICS 

The Strategic Plan identifies several critical project elements. Each proposal should 

address the applicable project elements in detail. It is important that each proposal speak 

to how the work will address the goals and objectives in the Strategic Plan that are 

germane to your research, and how it will answer one or more major research question(s). 

Proposals that do not clearly address research pertaining to the priorities, goals, 

objectives, and topics as detailed in the Strategic Plan will not be competitive for funding. 

Where critical research areas receive no proposals, the Park may, at its sole discretion, 

request specific ' proposals, either through a more detailed solicitation, or from specific 

individuals or institutions. 

CRITERIA FOR PROPOSAL EVALUATION 

Proposers should speak to how their research will address the key elements detailed in the 

Strategic Plan using the following criteria. Proposals will be rated on these criteria: 

Phase One 

1) Rationale 

The degree to which the proposed research addresses one or more important issue(s), 

problem(s), or management concem(s) pertaining to the restoration (detailed in the 

Strategic Plan).

complementary unit, to other research projects/proposals that are part of the restoration 

program, and the degree to which it addresses broader restoration or management . 

questions. 

7/ 8/ 971: 39 PM C :\ DA TA \ DONUT\TARGET\ SCIPLAN\ GUIDELNS.DOC\ GUIDE1.DOC 12 
ELEMENTS OF STRONG PROPOSALS 

The following ten items are included to provide PI's an understanding of what the Park 

considers important elements for proposals to be competitive. Focus of research on the 

fundamental restoration questions cannot be overemphasized. 

Phase One 

1) Proposal clearly and succinctly relates the purpose, scope and pertinence of the 

research to the restoration program. 

2) Project idea builds on Strategic Plan priorities and goals, rationale is quantitative and 

informative. 

3) Strong scientific merit is apparent; qualified and experienced investigators. 

4) Hypothesis or scientific objective is clearly stated and testable. 

5) Objectives are measurable. 

6) Realistic time-frame and budget. 

7) Deliverables clearly identified. 

8) Involvement of the Park as user clearly defined. 

9) May be part of an integrated set of inter-related proposals, yet can stand alone. 

10) Research has vision and applicability beyond the immediate restoration program. 

Phase Two 

1) "Statement of Integration" explicitly describes how investigator's project links to, 

integrates, and collaborates with, other projects. 

2) "Statement of Integration" clearly describes project's relevance to an integrated 

restoration program. 

REVIEW PROCESS AND ANNOUNCEMENT OF AWARDS 

Proposals will be reviewed by peer reviewers who are not being considered for funding from this 

program for two consecutive solicitations. Only one solicitation per year is currently planned. 

Two reviews will be completed for each proposal using the review rating sheet. If the reviews 

are conflicting a third review will be completed in an attempt to resolve the conflicts. After 

reviews are received they will be examined for overall relevance to the project, ratings and 

budget. Once final decisions are made on the group of proposals to be funded announcements of 

award or rejection will be made. Budget review will be made solely by Everglades National Park 

and project awards will be prioritized based on reviews and total funding available. Dates for 

submissions, phase-one review, phase-two amendments, meeting dates and times, and 

announcement of awards will be made by official letter of request for solicitation from the Park.

programs, grantor agencies may require a breakdown by 

function or activity. Sections A,B,C, and D should 

include budget estimates for the whole project except
