Opportunity Summary:
The BOEM FY 2014 Louisiana Coastal Marine Institute (CMI) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number M14AS00003) is a discretionary federal funding program offered by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) through its Environmental Studies Program (ESP). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning BOEM expects an active partnership role during the work rather than a simple pass-through grant. The program is designed to support research that advances the public interest in safe, environmentally responsible offshore energy development while also aligning with BOEMs mission to manage exploration and development of oil, natural gas, other marine minerals, and renewable energy on the nations Outer Continental Shelf.
This funding call is specifically routed through the Louisiana State University (LSU) Coastal Marine Institute and is limited to LSU and other eligible units within the LSU system that can carry out relevant research. Only LSU faculty and staff are eligible to apply under this announcement, and each project must name an LSU faculty or staff member as the Principal Investigator. While the applicant pool is LSU-based, the opportunity strongly encourages collaboration. Researchers at other universities, external organizations, and especially state agencies are invited to partner with LSU teams, typically by coordinating through LSU using the contact information provided in the full announcement.
BOEM describes several intended public benefits from the studies it wants to fund. First, the research should help apply scientific methods to real-world problem solving and contribute to protecting natural resources in offshore and coastal environments. Second, BOEM highlights educational value, particularly expanding training and learning opportunities in ocean sciences. Third, the program emphasizes protection of natural resources that matter to subsistence lifestyles, reflecting concerns about communities that rely on coastal and marine resources for food, culture, and day-to-day living. Finally, BOEM expects the work to produce information that can be used by the public and by decision-makers at local, state, and federal levels who handle issues tied to offshore oil and gas activity, renewable energy development, and extraction or management of other marine minerals.
From a funding and award standpoint, BOEM anticipated making around six awards under this announcement, with an estimated total program funding level of $1,000,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $80,000 up to a ceiling of $690,000. Cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants needed to plan for non-federal contributions as part of their project budgets. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 15.422 and is categorized under environmental activities.
The timeline for the competition shows the announcement was posted on February 20, 2014, with an application deadline of April 7, 2014, and an archive date of May 7, 2014. Applicants were directed to access the application materials through the portal instructions (using the application package tab and related links). For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Dominique Bruce, Contracting Officer, reachable by phone at 703-787-1342 or by email at Dominique.Bruce@bsee.gov.
