Workplans

Overview

A workplan (i.e. project proposal) is an outline of all tasks that need to be completed in order to finish an entire project.

It is important to note that workplans can vary. For example if you are writing a plan that describes monitoring, it should be similar to a study design. The monitoring plan would also include budget, match and milestones.

If you are submitting a Workplan for an NPS project your tasks may include the following:

General Forms and Documents

Cover Page

Project title; organization; fiscal year; budget summary (amount requested, match and total); depending upon the type of proposal information about the waterbodies effected may be required; this includes (name of the major watershed and its HUC-code, name of the specific sub-watershed and its HUC-code, and TMDL sub-watershed (SWS) number and 303(d) list stream code); and finally the contact information (name, mailing address, phone number and Email).  

 

Additional Resources
