Request for Applications on Multiscale

Ecological Assessment in the Middle

Atlantic Region

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of request for

applications.

SUMMARY: This notice provides

information on the availability of a

fiscal year 1997 program announcement

entitled, ‘‘Approaches to Multiscale

Ecological Assessment in the Middle

Atlantic Region,’’ in which the area of

research interest, eligibility and

submission requirements, evaluation

criteria, and implementation schedule

are set forth. Cooperative agreements

will be competitively awarded following

peer review.

DATES: Proposals must be received at the

contact point by March 28, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency,

National Center for Environmental

Research and Quality Assurance (8703),

401 M Street SW, Washington, DC

20460, telephone (800) 490–9194. The

complete announcement can be

accessed on the Internet from the EPA

home page: http://www.epa.gov/ncerqa.

Additional information may be obtained

from Steve Paulsen, telephone 541–754–

4428, Email: Paulsen@mail.cor.epa.gov

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Much of

the ecological information generated

today comes from intensive

investigations of single sites or

relatively small geographic areas. Yet

many of the management questions

being asked or the ecological

assessments being conducted are

focused over broad geographic regions.

The specific purpose of this solicitation

by EPA’s Environmental Monitoring and

Assessment Program (EMAP) is to

request proposals for cooperative

research that lead to the development

and demonstration of approaches to link

site specific information with regional

survey data and remote sensing imagery

for conducting regional level ecological

assessments. Proposals must focus on

terrestrial systems in the mid-Atlantic

area.

The RFA provides relevant

background information, summarizes

EPA’s interest in the topic areas, and

describes the application and review

process.

Dated: February 3, 1997.

Assistant Administrator for Research and
