[Calclg-l] DOD LEGACY PROJECTS GRANTS

[Nelson, Marie]

The Legacy Resource Management Program within the Department of Defense
(DoD) is seeking potential projects in which the DoD can invest to
support military mission needs and improve the management of natural and
cultural resources.  

Anyone can apply for Legacy funding, but the applicant, if not the
Department of Defense, needs to demonstrate partnership with the DoD and
DoD approval of the project. Proposals must be submitted via the Legacy
Tracker website (www.dodlegacy.org <http://www.dodlegacy.org/> ), and
coordinated with appropriate installation and headquarters personnel.

The broad legislative criteria used to identify potential Legacy
projects are:
* Focus on regional or DoD-wide activities.
* Support military missions, or meet unfunded legal or statutory
requirements.
* Emphasize crosscutting conservation projects that support of leverage
ongoing or new DoD initiatives, demonstrate cost efficiencies and time
savings, or exhibit new and innovative ways of doing resource
conservation on DoD lands.

The Request for Pre-Proposals (RFP) for FY09 funding and Areas of
Emphasis is available at
http://www.dodlegacy.org/Legacy/intro/RFP_FY2009_Legacy.pdf.  All
pre-proposals are due to the DoD Legacy Office by September 5, 2008.
