The purpose of this document is to advise the public that NOAA/NOS/NCCOS/CSCOR is soliciting proposals under the Ecological Effects of Sea Level Rise (EESLR) Program to improve the management of regional and local ecosystem effects of sea level rise and coastal inundation through targeted research on

key technologies, natural and nature-based infrastructure, physical and biological processes, and model evaluation.

The overall goal of EESLR is to integrate dynamic physical and biological processes with sea level rise and coastal inundation to improve the prediction of coastal ecosystem effects to enable enhanced coastal resiliency.

This information will be used to advance the capacity and capabilities of the NOAA Sentinel Site Program.

Funding is contingent upon the availability of Fiscal Year 2015 Federal appropriations.

Approximately 2 to 5 projects, 2-3 years in duration, are expected to be funded at the level of $150,000 to $200,000 per year per proposal.
