The Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands requests proposals for research projects that will improve management of Great Salt Lake. Research projects will provide lake managers with a better understanding of the complexities of GSL in order to best inform management decisions. Research project deliverables will be publicly accessible for use and dissemination.
Differently than in the past, FFSL is now inviting and encouraging two-year projects as well as one-year projects. Of FFSL’s FY2026 grant funds, a portion will be used for one-year projects, and the remaining funds will be reserved for the Year 1 expenses for two-year projects.
The Great Salt Lake Technical Team, through its Research and Grants Subcommittee, has identified nine general “hot topics” that research proposals might address, either individually or in combination. Proposals are solicited for one- and two-year research projects that address an aspect of one or more of the “hot topics” listed here. Research proposals that do not adhere to any “hot topics,” but pose a significant enhancement of GSL knowledge and/or management needs will also be evaluated.
All proposals must be electronic and received attached to an email as a PDF document. Each proposal must be received no later than Friday, April 4, 2025 at 5:00 PM. Absolutely no exceptions will be made for proposals not received by the appointed time. Proposals shall be submitted to Angela Gong at the email address below. Questions regarding the Request for Grant Applications should also be addressed to Angela Gong.
