Fiscal Year 2027 Meeting Information

We want to thank everyone again for all the time you have put into helping CBBEP develop project ideas for inclusion in our FY27 Annual Work Plan. The score sheets for all Implementation Teams have been received and tallied to rank the projects that were submitted for FY2027 funding. Project rankings and comments from the score sheets are now available using the buttons in the side bar. 

The next step is for CBBEP staff to work with the Coordination Team to determine which of the projects will be moved forward for funding. We will do our best to try and fund as many projects as possible, but please keep in mind that we most likely will only be able to fund some of the projects.

Thank you again for all your help and support in developing project ideas and providing thoughtful feedback. We will send out additional updates as we move forward in the FY27 Annual Work Plan development process.

Please contact the staff liaison for your team with any questions.

Implementation Teams were formed to provide oversight and guidance for ongoing projects and related monitoring and research initiatives, to help identify needs within specific priority issue areas, and to recommend projects to be considered for inclusion in the CBBEP Annual Work Plan. Implementation Teams typically meet at least once a year with CBBEP staff, and meetings are open to a diversity of stakeholder groups with interests and expertise in the issues addressed by a particular implementation team.

If you are interested in participating in our annual implementation team process, please contact the appropriate CBBEP staff support person listed below.
