2003
Ballast
Water
Technology
Demonstration
Program
The
planned
2003
Ballast
Water
Technology
Demonstration
Program
grants
competition
has
been
canceled.
There may
be a
competition
for
2004
grant
funding
scheduled
for
later
in
2003,
but
this
has
not
been
decided
yet.
If
there
is a
competition
later
in 2003,
it may differ
from
the 2002
competition
in several
ways:
- Proposals
may
be
divided
into
program
areas
based
on
the
level
of
technology
development;
- Funding
limits
for
individual
proposals
may
be
based
on
these
program
areas;
- Proposals
may
be
required
to
include
a
discussion
of
the
long
term
development
necessary
to
transition
the
technology
to
a
viable
commercial
product;
and
- Under
certain
conditions,
proposals
to
demonstrate
technologies
that
have
been
submitted
to
the
Coast
Guard
for
approval
under
16
U.S.C.
4711(b)(1)
for
experimental
shipboard
installations
of
ballast
water
treatment
systems
may
receive
a
programmatic
preference.
Again,
the
form
of
a
future
2003
competition,
and
whether
it
takes
place
at
all,
have
not
been
decided
yet!
