The Exxon Valdez Oil Spill (EVOS) Trustee Council announces Invitations
for Proposals for Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2011 and FFY 2012.

The FFY 2011 Invitation calls for proposals that seek to further our
knowledge of lingering oil and its effects in the spill area. While all
proposals will be considered, projects that design and implement pilot
projects to determine the feasibility of removing lingering oil from
Prince William Sound (PWS) beaches are of specific interest. The maximum
funding that will be available for the entirety of this work is
$1,500,000. Proposals funded under this Invitation must begin fieldwork
in 2011 and present a final report to the Council no later than 15 April
2012. The FFY 2011 proposal deadline is 5:00 p.m. AKST on Friday, 7
January 2011.

The FFY 2012 Invitation calls for proposals in four focus areas:

- Herring;
- Long-term monitoring of marine conditions and injured resources;
- Harbor protection and marine restoration; and
- Lingering oil.

This Invitation uses a several-step process to assist in refining
preferred proposals into final proposals submitted and reviewed by the
Council for funding in late summer 2011. With the exception of lingering
oil, this Invitation requires proposals for multi-year programs
administered by a single or multiple entities in each of these focus
areas. For these multi-year programs, the Council asks for proposals
from a single entity or an organization of multiple entities, such as
teams or consortiums, which are capable of directing and implementing
the component studies for the applicable focus area(s). Proposing
entities may submit proposals in more than one focus area, and
organizations and individuals may participate in more than one competing
proposal within a single focus area.The FFY 2012 proposal deadline is
5:00 p.m. AKST on Tuesday, 1 March 2011.

A question and answer teleconference regarding the FFY 2012 Invitation
for Proposals will be held, and anyone interested is welcome to attend.
It is scheduled for Friday, 7 January 2011 from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
To participate, call 800-315-6338, code 3456.
