Opportunity Summary:
The Department of Commerce, through NOAA's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) and its Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research (CSCOR), offered a discretionary funding opportunity to support a single, two-year project focused on developing a "concept of operations" for scenario-type forecasting models that can be used in ecosystem-based management of coastal ecosystems. In this announcement, "coastal" was defined broadly to include not only ocean and estuarine environments but also Great Lakes systems. The central aim was not to build or run an operational forecast product outright, but to lay out a practical, decision-oriented operational blueprint for how scenario forecasts and related modeling tools should be designed, organized, and used to support regional coastal ecosystem management.
The opportunity anticipated funding one award for a two-year period, with an expected annual budget under $250,000. The funding instrument types listed were grant and cooperative agreement, reflecting that NOAA could have substantial involvement depending on the final award structure. Importantly, the award was contingent on the availability of FY2011 appropriations. NOAA expected to make final funding recommendations in early calendar year 2011, with an anticipated project start date of August 1, 2011.
Eligible applicants were broad and included institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations, state and local governments, Indian Tribal governments, commercial (for-profit) organizations, U.S. territories, and agencies that have legal authority to receive federal financial assistance. Proposals had to be submitted by an eligible U.S. entity through Grants.gov, and researchers needed to be employees of that eligible entity and follow institutional submission rules. Foreign researchers were allowed to participate only as subawardees under an eligible U.S. applicant. Non-NOAA applicants also had to provide certifications or documentation demonstrating they had the legal authority to receive Department of Commerce funds. NOAA emphasized its interest in broad participation and encouraged applications involving women and minority individuals and groups, as well as historically Black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, tribal colleges and universities, and organizations working in underserved areas.
A key budget rule in this solicitation was that NCCOS/CSCOR would not pay Full Time Employee (FTE) salaries. However, it would support other common project costs such as travel, equipment, supplies, and contractual personnel costs tied to completing the proposed work. This constraint signaled that applicants were expected to structure staffing through allowable mechanisms (for example, contractors or other non-FTE arrangements) and to clearly align costs with the deliverables needed to produce the concept-of-operations framework.
The timeline and administrative details were straightforward. The opportunity was posted July 21, 2010, created July 22, 2010, and the original application deadline of October 14, 2010 was extended to October 21, 2010. The listing was archived November 13, 2010. The funding opportunity number was NOAA NOS NCCOS 2011 2002587, and it was associated with CFDA 11.478 (Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research/Coastal Ocean Program). The activity category was focused on environment, natural resources, and science and technology research and development. Additional background on NCCOS/CSCOR efforts was referenced at http://www.cop.noaa.gov, and applications were required to be submitted via http://www.grants.gov. For access issues related to downloading the application materials, the notice listed Steve Drescher as the policy advisor contact for those specific technical problems.
