CZ Grants

CRM usually receives an annual grant award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). These awards provide for a portion of the funds to be used for projects to further the implementation of the CRM Program. The funds are distributed through sub-grant awards to state and local government agencies and incorporated nonprofit groups located in or having facilities in the Delaware Estuary or Lake Erie Coastal Zones.

If funds are made available for Federal Fiscal Year 2012, CRM will provide grant funds on a competitive basis to successful applicants.

Projects are selected through a process involving review by program staff, two local Coastal Zone Advisory Committees, and the State Coastal Zone Advisory Committee.

The upcoming solicitation period for 2012-2014 Coastal Zone grants will open on August 19, 2011 and continue through October 17, 2011. Please see the links below for more information.
