Request for Proposals: Phragmites Adaptive Management Framework Small Grants

Ann Arbor, Mich. – The Great Lakes Commission today issued a request for proposals (RFP) to support participation in the Phragmites Adaptive Management Framework (PAMF) and implementation of priority Phragmites management actions. Indigenous Nations, U.S.-based state or local units of government, lake associations/watershed protection groups, nonprofit organizations, universities/colleges, and conservation groups may apply for grants in the expected range of $5,000 to $30,000 (with higher amounts considered) to manage nonnative Phragmites using one of twelve priority management combinations during the period of July 1, 2024 – July 31, 2025.

This funding supports strategic advances in nonnative Phragmites management and is designed to expand and enhance PAMF, which is helping to determine best management practices for nonnative Phragmites in the Great Lakes region. Applicants are encouraged to visit the Great Lakes Phragmites Collaborative webpage for a comprehensive overview of this funding opportunity. Grant recipients will be expected to report back monitoring and management data as stated in the PAMF Participant Guide.

A webinar for potential applicants will be held on March 20, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern. The due date for applications is 5:00 p.m. Eastern on April 12, 2024. Applications will be reviewed by representatives from the Great Lakes states and Indigenous Nations. Final decisions on funded projects are anticipated in May 2024. Selected projects may begin work as soon as July 1, 2024.
