Opportunity Summary:
The BOEM FY 2013 Alaska Coastal Marine Institute (CMI) opportunity was a discretionary federal funding announcement from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) under its Environmental Studies Program (ESP). It offered support through a cooperative agreement mechanism, using the University of Alaska Coastal Marine Institute as the primary partnership pathway, to fund research carried out by the University of Alaska Fairbanks and other eligible units within the University of Alaska system. The core purpose was to generate environmental and socioeconomic information that helps the public interest objective of safe, environmentally responsible energy and mineral development, particularly in Alaska and in areas influenced by activity on the US Outer Continental Shelf (OCS).
The program sits under BOEMs Office of Environmental Programs (OEP), which is responsible for collecting and analyzing environmental data needed to inform decisions related to offshore exploration and development. In practical terms, the grant was meant to support studies that improve understanding of how offshore oil, natural gas, other mineral development, and renewable energy alternatives can affect human communities as well as marine and coastal ecosystems. The announcement ties the work directly to the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA). Specifically, OCSLA Section 1346 requires environmental and socioeconomic studies to assess and manage impacts from OCS-related activities, and OCSLA Section 1345 authorizes BOEM to use cooperative agreements with affected states as a way to share information, coordinate expertise, and set up joint monitoring arrangements that support compliance with relevant federal and state requirements for offshore and onshore aspects of OCS operations.
From a funding and award structure standpoint, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number M12AS00003; CFDA 15.421, Alaska Coastal Marine Institute) anticipated making about six awards, with an estimated total funding level of about $1,000,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $1,000 up to a ceiling of $250,000. A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning recipients were expected to contribute some portion of project costs through non-federal funds or allowable in-kind contributions, consistent with the terms of the cooperative agreement and the full announcement.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and the description clarifies that the intended applicants were the University of Alaska Fairbanks and other University of Alaska system units capable of conducting the relevant research. The activity category was listed as Environment, reflecting the emphasis on environmental science, monitoring, assessment, and related socioeconomic analysis that supports BOEMs decision-making responsibilities.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted on July 24, 2012, created on July 25, 2012, and had an original closing date of September 4, 2012, later extended to September 7, 2012.
