Opportunity Summary:
The BOEM FY 2016 Environmental Studies Program opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number M16AS00019) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), specifically through its Office of Strategic Resources (OSR). The project focuses on exploring practical ways to improve BOEM's Pacific Region Geological and Geophysical (GG) dataset, which is described as a complex collection made up of both paper and electronic records gathered from many different sources and stored in inconsistent, often incompatible formats. In simple terms, BOEM is looking to make this Pacific-region GG information more usable, better organized, and more reliable so it can support stronger technical work and decision-making.
The underlying purpose of the effort is tied directly to BOEM's broader mission: managing offshore resources in a way that balances economic development, energy independence, and environmental protection. BOEM oversees activities that include oil and gas leasing, renewable energy development, and minerals management in offshore areas, all of which depend heavily on accurate scientific and technical information. By improving the GG dataset, BOEM expects to strengthen the quality and efficiency of science-based decisions made within the agency and also to support external users who rely on BOEM data for research, planning, analysis, or environmental review.
This announcement is not a general competition open to the public. Instead, it describes a specific project that may be awarded to California State University, Northridge, Center for Geographical Studies, working through the California Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). While the eligible applicant category is listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, the text makes clear that this is a targeted cooperative agreement and "not an open solicitation for proposals." Any award is contingent on BOEM receiving an acceptable proposal under the terms of the announcement, reinforcing that the agency is anticipating a defined partner and a defined scope rather than soliciting broad, competing project ideas.
Key administrative details include a total potential award ceiling of $85,000 and an expectation of one award. The opportunity falls under the environmental funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.423. The posting date was August 2, 2016, with an original closing date of September 1, 2016. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a small, focused, single-recipient cooperative agreement intended to modernize or improve the accessibility and utility of BOEM's Pacific Region geological and geophysical information so the agency can make better-supported decisions about offshore energy and mineral activities while maintaining environmental safeguards.
