Innovative Technologies Grants Project Proposal
Call for Innovative Technologies Grant Program Project Proposals
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is seeking project proposals for use of FY 2022-23 Innovative Technology Grant Program funds. These proposals will be reviewed by DEP to identify viable grant projects as part of the selection process. You may be asked for additional information as necessary so your project proposal for applicable funding opportunities can be fully evaluated.
Innovative Technologies Grant Program funds are available to local governmental entities for projects that evaluate and implement innovative technologies and short-term solutions to combat algal blooms and nutrient enrichment, restore and preserve Florida waterbodies, and implement certain water quality treatment technologies.
Eligible projects will prevent, mitigate or clean-up harmful algal blooms, with an emphasis on projects that prevent blooms through nutrient reductions. Projects that improve the ability to predict and monitor harmful algal blooms will also be considered for funding.
Please submit your eligible project proposal using this portal. DEP will accept and review proposals through July 22, 2022, for viable grant projects awards.
Eligible project proposals must be submitted by a local government, academic institution or nonprofit organization. Funding cannot be provided by DEP directly to a vendor or private, for-profit entity.
Any information submitted to DEP will become a public record, subject to disclosure in accordance with chapter 119, Florida Statutes, and article 1, §24 of the Florida Constitution. Please note that submittal of a proposal does not create an agreement, nor does it guarantee funding.
