Opportunity Summary:
The BOEMRE FY 2011 Alaska Coastal Marine Institute (CMI) grant opportunity was a discretionary federal funding announcement issued by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement (BOEMRE) through its Environmental Studies Program (ESP). It was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency expected to be actively involved with awardees during the work, rather than simply providing funds with minimal oversight. The overall purpose was to support research that strengthens the public-interest goals of safe, environmentally responsible offshore energy and minerals development, especially as those activities relate to Alaska and the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS).
At the heart of the opportunity was BOEMRE's need for solid environmental and socioeconomic science to inform decisions about offshore oil and gas, renewable energy options, and other offshore mineral development. BOEMRE's Offshore Energy and Minerals Management Program is responsible for overseeing exploration and development on the OCS, and it relies on credible, region-specific studies to understand and manage risks and impacts. The announcement ties this directly to legal requirements in the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA). In particular, Section 1346 requires the federal government to conduct environmental and socioeconomic studies needed to assess and manage impacts on human communities and on marine and coastal environments that could be affected by offshore development. Section 1345 supports the use of cooperative agreements with affected states to meet OCSLA requirements through shared information, combined expertise, and joint monitoring arrangements that help align federal and state laws, regulations, and operational stipulations across both offshore and onshore contexts.
The Alaska Coastal Marine Institute at the University of Alaska was created specifically to leverage Alaska-based scientific capability to collect, analyze, and share the information BOEMRE needs for offshore decision-making. This opportunity, therefore, focused on channeling funds through the CMI framework to University of Alaska entities that could perform research aligned with BOEMRE's mission. The work envisioned included studies that address local and regional Alaska OCS environmental and resource issues of mutual interest to both the state/university community and the federal offshore management program, with an emphasis on producing information that can be used in planning, assessment, monitoring, and impact management.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, with the announcement explicitly targeting the University of Alaska system (including the University of Alaska, Fairbanks and other UA units) that had the capacity to conduct relevant research. The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, categorized under an environmental funding activity area, and carried no cost sharing or matching requirement, making participation primarily dependent on scientific fit, capacity, and alignment with program needs rather than the ability to provide non-federal match.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was identified as Funding Opportunity Number M10AS00007 under CFDA 15.421 (Alaska Coastal Marine Institute). BOEMRE anticipated making up to eight awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000. The award ceiling was listed as $500,000 and the award floor as $1,000, indicating that individual awards could vary widely depending on the scope and scale of proposed projects. The announcement was posted June 29, 2010, created June 30, 2010, and had an application closing date of September 7, 2010. The archive date was August 31, 2011. For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contracting officer contact was Christy C. Tardiff (703-787-1367; christy.tardiff@mms.gov), and additional details were available via the program announcement link on Grants.gov.
In practical terms, this funding opportunity was designed to generate Alaska-relevant, decision-ready science that helps BOEMRE evaluate potential environmental and community impacts associated with offshore energy and minerals activities. It emphasized collaboration between federal managers and Alaska-based researchers, using the CMI as a bridge to ensure studies are both scientifically strong and directly useful for regulatory, planning, and stewardship responsibilities on the Outer Continental Shelf.
