    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has issued a funding opportunity through the Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) aimed at developing a systematic, scalable approach for the prediction and early identification of harmful algal blooms (HABs) in riverine systems. This initiative, announced on July 18, 2024, has a total funding ceiling of $3 million, with each award potentially reaching $1.5 million over a three-year period. Interested parties can submit statements of interest until August 16, 2024, with full proposals due on September 16, 2024. The program seeks innovative methods for monitoring, predicting, and managing riverine HABs that have significant environmental and economic impacts. Proposals should engage with stakeholders and utilize existing data from federal and state resources. Successful projects will include a primary and secondary riverine system for testing, demonstrate monitoring and predictive capabilities, and produce comprehensive reports outlining findings and potential preventative measures against HABs. Funding is exclusively available to non-federal partners within designated geographic cooperatives. Ultimately, the goal is to equip water managers with effective tools to mitigate the effects of HABs, ensuring better public health and environmental management.
