2015 RFA for Great Lakes Fish Monitoring and Surveillance Program

EPA Awards Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Grant to Clarkson University for Monitoring Pollutants in Fish - Aug. 11, 2015

In 2015, EPA solicited applications for a cooperative agreement for a project to complete chemical analysis in support of the Great Lakes Fish Monitoring and Surveillance Program.

This Request for Applications (RFA) solicited applications from eligible entities for a cooperative agreement to support the Great Lakes Fish Monitoring and Surveillance Program (GLFMSP) pursuant to the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Action Plan II  (30 pp, 5.1 MB, About PDF) September 2014.

The GLFMSP is a long-term monitoring and surveillance program that has been in continuous operation since 1970. The GLFMSP measures the concentrations of legacy and emerging chemicals in Great Lakes whole fish tissue. These measurements are used to track the effectiveness of toxic reduction efforts, track environmental trends, and inform programs that issue health information on chemicals of concern.
