REQUEST FOR STATEMENTS OF INTEREST
W912HZ-19-SOI-0021
Project Title: USCRP Research Topic 3: Understanding the Cross-Roads of Human and
Ecosystem Health
REVISED
Responses to this Request for Statements of Interest will be used to identify potential
investigators for studies to be sponsored by the U.S. Army of Engineer (USACE) Engineer
Research and Development Center (ERDC) Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL). The intent
of this request is seek researchers interested in performing applied research to advance
understanding of the interaction of human and ecosystem health. Researchers will analyze
data (and collect additional data if needed) to characterize and quantify the magnitude of the
physical, biological and chemical processes impacting human and ecosystem health and their
relationship to each other. Researchers will communicate findings, guidance, and lessons
learned on the interaction of human and ecosystem health to inform coastal communities on
best practices for community planning. Proposed research may consider a range of timescales
ranging from storms, to seasonal, to long-term decadal interactions of human and ecosystems.
This research topic was identified as one of three primary needs by the Nearshore Processes
Community and championed by the US Coastal Research Program. Estimated award amounts
for individual proposals of $50,000 to $250,000 may be accepted. Multiple awards may be
funded. Possibly no awards will be made if the submitted proposals do not meet the objectives
outlined in this RSOI.
