Funding Opportunity Number: EPA-G2014-STAR-E1 Opportunity Category: DiscretionaryFunding Instrument Type: Cooperative AgreementGrantCategory of Funding Activity: EnvironmentCFDA Number: 66.509Eligible Applicants Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)Agency Name: EPAClosing Date: Mar 04, 2014Award Ceiling: $800,000Expected Number of Awards: 4Creation Date: Dec 04, 2013Funding Opportunity Description: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications focusing on integrated, transdisciplinary research that would advance scientific understanding of potential for impacts to ecosystem wellbeing associated with the use of manufactured chemicals. Specifically, the RFA would solicit proposals for systems-based research to develop and apply innovative metrics and modeling approaches to improve evaluation of ecological resilience and impact analyses, and to support environmental sustainability. Successful proposals will translate emerging and advanced methods, data, and computational tools to address complexity of these systems and distill drivers of adverse outcomes to ecological organisms and populations.
