The Office of the Great Lakes cultivates partnerships with governments, nonprofits, universities, and the private sector to advance science and innovation to solve the next generation of water challenges. The Michigan Great Lakes Protection Fund provides funding for innovative research and demonstration projects that advance knowledge about Great Lakes ecosystems and their interactions with Michigan communities. Funded projects support and inform work to ensure a healthy environment, strong economy, and high quality of life for the people of Michigan.
Supported work contributes to understanding of how pollution enters and moves through the Great Lakes ecosystem; develops and refines monitoring and data-collection strategies; and analyzes and enhances interactions between people, communities, and economies that protect, restore, and sustain the health and function of Great Lakes ecosystems. Projects improve our ability to identify and respond to human and wildlife health risks and integrate Great Lakes and water resources into community development. Emphasis is placed on work that results in advancing policy development or science-based decision making to improve environmental health, public health, and quality of life.
