ERDCWERX invites pre-proposals that demonstrate the capability to detect, prevent and manage harmful algal blooms (HABs) in U.S. freshwater resources. 

The deadline is January 27, 2025 at  4 p.m. CST.

Industry and academia are encouraged to submit for potential awards totaling up to $9 million by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC). Innovators are encouraged to submit novel, cost-effective, and scalable commercial technologies that reduce the severity and frequency of HABs. 

Requirements include, but are not limited to:

• Implementing a field validation project to address a HAB associated with a water resources development project
• Gathering and evaluating technology cost and performance data that will guide technology use and technology transfer
• Providing data that could be applied to multiple water resources development projects or federally constructed reservoirs

This project supports ERDC’s Environmental Laboratory.

Applicants must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database.
