Each year, SERDP typically announces two solicitations for funding: a Core Solicitation and a SERDP Exploratory Development (SEED) Solicitation. Because both government and private sector organizations may compete for SERDP funds, there are two announcements for each solicitation: (1) a Call For Proposals to the federal sector and (2) a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the private or non-federal sector. SERDP selects proposals for environmental research and development through a competitive multi-step process. The FY 2010 solicitation is now closed. Information provided below is for informational purposes only. The FY 2011 solicitation will be posted by mid November, 2009.

Webinar: Through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Technology Innovation Program. SERDP’s Executive Director Dr. Jeffrey Marqusee conducted an online seminar "SERDP Funding Opportunities" on November 20, 2008. This “how to play” briefing offered valuable information for those interested in new funding opportunities available through SERDP in Fiscal Year (FY) 2010. During the online seminar, participants were able to ask general questions about the funding process, proposal submission, and the current solicitation. To review this seminar, click here.
