Prediction and Early Identification of Harmful Algal Bloom (HABs) in Riverine Systems
Active
Engineer Research and Development Center
The Engineer Research and Development Center is offering a federal grant opportunity titled "Prediction and Early Identification of Harmful Algal Bloom (HABs) in Riverine Systems". This grant aims to address the impact of aquatic nuisance species, specifically harmful algae, on freshwater lakes and rivers, infrastructure, operations, and associated resources across the nation. Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have resulted in recreational closures, public health concerns, and significant economic impacts. The frequency and duration of HABs are increasing, leading to environmental, socioeconomic, human, and ecological health concerns. The grant seeks cost-effective and scalable technologies for early HAB detection, prediction, and management to reduce their frequency and severity. Riverine HABs, which can span hundreds of miles and last for weeks, are of particular concern due to the significant damages they can cause. The prediction and early identification of riverine HABs are critical to enable effective response and management actions. The grant will establish an interdisciplinary collaboration between the USACE and recipient(s) to accomplish specific objectives. The project will focus on researching scalable and transferable solutions for early HAB detection, developing a systematic approach for monitoring and interpreting monitoring results, demonstrating the approach at a field scale, and preparing a final framework for prediction and early identification of riverine HABs. The grant is open to non-federal partners of the Southern Appalachian Mountains and the Piedmont-South Atlantic Coast Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Units (CESUs). The total program funding is $3,000,000, with an award ceiling of $500,000. The deadline for submission is September 16, 2024. For more information, contact Kisha M.
