CALL FOR PROPOSALS I n 2012, the TKF Foundation, a private, nonprofit that funds publicly accessible urban green space, will begin its Open Spaces Sacred Places (OSSP) National Awards Program. This new award program will directly support the design and implementation of significant new sites designed to address critical human factors related to the physical, mental, and spiritual well-being of individuals living in challenging urban environments. The awards will simultaneously sponsor research on the human impact of encountering and experiencing these open, sacred natural places in the urban setting. Funding grants from a total pool of $5 million will be provided to cross-disciplinary teams that conceptualize, plan, design and implement a physical space, conduct associated research study(ies), and disseminate findings. Among the requirements for award projects, the design must comply with the relevant environmental performance standards of the Sustainable Sites Initiative (SITES), as described in the Guidelines and Performance Benchmarks 2009. The request for proposals for the Open Spaced Sacred Places Awards will be issued and posted to the Awards website at www.opensacred.org on February 1, 2012. The proposal deadline for the Open Spaces Sacred Places Awards is June 30, 2012. The Awards will be announced December 15, 2012. Good luck! D GRPS GAIN POLICY ACCEPTANCE Devens Enterprise Commission has approved a green roof by-law that requires GRPs to be part of the design team.
