REQUEST FOR STATEMENTS OF INTEREST
W912HZ-19-SOI-0016
Project Title: USCRP Research Topic 6: Long-term Implications of Coastal Restoration
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 Engineer (USACE) Research and
Development Center (ERDC) Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL). The intent of this request
is to seek researchers interested in developing methods for creating sustainable systems of
coastal restoration that will reduce the long-term costs of projects, both in terms of use, and
operation and maintenance. Beyond the coastal restoration project (green or gray
infrastructure) itself, researchers will also describe and quantify the effect of coastal restoration
on reducing coastal impacts to the local community. The intent of this effort is to further
compel communities to consider actions to assess the implications of coastal restoration
projects on coastal communities. 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.
