What the grant funds
The Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) partnership’s four Advisory Committees (Stakeholders’ Advisory Committee; Local Government Advisory Committee; Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee; and Agricultural Advisory Committee) are comprised of appointed and/or elected volunteers who serve as independent advisors to the various CBP partnership committees and teams. These committees serve as liaisons between the CBP partnership and four critical groups: watershed stakeholders, local government leaders, the agricultural industry, and the scientific community. The recipient of this award will coordinate and support the four Advisory Committees to increase representation and engagement of these sectors in the CBP partnership’s restoration and conservation efforts. The targeted audience for this funding opportunity is eligible entities capable of providing logistical, coordination, and programmatic support to these four Advisory Committees.
