This Guide aims to provide potential project proponents from organizations to agencies an understanding of the key steps needed and critical information sources available to support CR4proposals. This document guides potential applicants through the project conception, design, and implementation phases of a CR4 project. The Guide covers vital elements, including project scoping, identification of the project team, selection of site(s), benefit-cost analysis, identification of regulatory requirements, and potential funding opportunities. Applications for federal assistance will usually need to be led and submitted by a local, state, territorial, or commonwealth agency. However, many stakeholders and project proponents can be involved in developing the project proposal and funding application. Further, the approaches outlined in this Guide can support many other nature-based projects and proposals beyond reef restoration for federal hazard mitigation funding.

The Alma Mater Society (AMS) at the University of British Columbia (UBC) is looking to create an Interactive Sustainability Centre (ISC) with the intent of encouraging community cohesion around sustainability issues. This research project, conducted by five School of Community and Regional Planning graduate students, aimed to understand student interests for the ISC space . The project's key research question was: How can an interactive space in a student centre facilitate the sharing and uptake of innovative ideas in sustainability on campus?
