The original deadline for receipt of proposals was 11:59 p.m., EST, on November 30, 2009.

Therefore, NOAA re-opens the solicitation period to provide applicants the opportunity to submit proposals. The deadline for the receipt of proposals is 11:59 p.m. EST on February 19, 2010 for both electronic and paper applications. Applicants are directed to the July 16, 2009 Federal Register notice and Federal Funding Opportunity announcement for information on the program’s priorities, application requirements, evaluation criteria, and selection process for this solicitation.
