- Division of Ecological Restoration
The Division of Ecological Restoration (DER) has released a Request for Responses (RFR) for Priority Projects Program Advancement Grants for active, existing Priority Projects. Applications are due January 17, 2025 at 4:00PM.
The Division of Ecological Restoration's (DER) Priority Projects Program supports wetland and river restoration projects that bring significant ecological and community benefits to the Commonwealth. The DER Priority Projects Program Advancement Grant is a funding opportunity to support and advance these active, established projects.
For this opportunity, DER is interested in funding active, existing Priority Projects and Provisional Projects which are at any stage of development, including dam removal, river restoration and stream crossing upgrades, urban river revitalization, cranberry bog restoration, and coastal and freshwater wetland restoration, or combinations thereof. Project applications will be assessed on demonstrated critical need and urgency for support, capacity to advance restoration work, feasibility of proposed scope of work, likelihood of restoration success, and progress towards environmental justice.
A Question and Answer (Q&A) period is currently open and will close December 23, 2024 at 4:00PM EST. The Request for Responses closes January 17, 2025 at 4:00PM.
