## What the grant funds

The EPA’s South Florida Program supports projects within the 16 counties that overlap with the South Florida Water Management District. Demonstration projects that generate tangible and practical results through applied science frameworks that seek to advance and scale future interventions will be prioritized. Projects should also include scientifically and statistically rigorous studies, surveys, research, investigations, or pre- and post-monitoring data collection and dissemination where appropriate, to effectively evaluate project outcomes and develop subsequent research questions that inform and improve decision making by the Agency and its partners working to restore water quality and aquatic habitat within the South Florida ecosystem.
