Opportunity Summary:
The BOEM FY 2012 Louisiana Coastal Marine Institute (CMI) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number M12AS00002) was a discretionary federal funding announcement issued by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) under its Environmental Studies Program (ESP). The basic purpose was to support research that advances the public interest in safe, environmentally responsible offshore energy development, while also directly supporting BOEMs environmental science and stewardship goals. The funding mechanism was a cooperative agreement, which typically means BOEM expected to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordination on study design, deliverables, data standards, or how results are applied to BOEM decision-making).
This opportunity was run through the Louisiana State University (LSU) Coastal Marine Institute (CMI) framework and was specifically aimed at LSU and other eligible units within the LSU system that could carry out relevant research. In other words, eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, with the practical intent of channeling projects through LSU-affiliated entities capable of conducting coastal and marine research aligned with BOEM needs. The activity category was listed as Environment, and the CFDA number associated with the program was 15.422 (Louisiana State University Coastal Marine Institute).
In funding terms, BOEM anticipated making up to four awards, with an estimated total program funding level of $1,000,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $50,000 (award floor) and $400,000 (award ceiling). No cost sharing or matching was required, which generally lowers the barrier to participation and allows applicants to focus proposal budgets on the research itself rather than securing non-federal match.
The announcement timeline shows it was posted on March 1, 2012 (created March 2, 2012) and closed on March 23, 2012, with the opportunity later archived on April 30, 2012. An additional information link was referenced as a website location for the full program announcement, implying that complete proposal instructions, required formats, research topic priorities, evaluation criteria, reporting expectations, and compliance requirements were provided in the full solicitation materials.
For applicant support, BOEM listed a point of contact for access issues and solicitation questions: Kathleen M. Craig, Lead Contract Specialist, reachable at 703-787-1332 and Kathleen.Craig@bsee.gov. Overall, the opportunity was a targeted, time-limited cooperative agreement competition intended to fund a small set of research projects within LSU/LSU system capabilities that would generate science and information useful to BOEM in managing offshore energy activities in a way that protects environmental resources and supports safe operations.
