Opportunity Summary:
The BOEMRE FY 2011 Louisiana Coastal Marine Institute grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number M10AS00008) is a discretionary, environmental research funding announcement offered as a cooperative agreement through the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) Environmental Studies Program (ESP). It is designed to support applied research that helps the federal government make better decisions about safe and environmentally responsible energy and minerals development on the US Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), with a particular focus on issues relevant to Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico. The work is meant to directly support the Offshore Energy and Minerals Management Program, which oversees offshore exploration and development for oil, natural gas, other minerals, and renewable energy alternatives.
A central purpose of the opportunity is to generate environmental and socioeconomic information needed to assess, predict, and manage impacts from offshore development activities. The announcement grounds this need in the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA). Under Section 1346, BOEMRE is required to conduct studies that evaluate potential effects of offshore oil and gas, renewable energy, and other mineral activities on people and on marine and coastal environments. Under Section 1345, BOEMRE is authorized to use cooperative agreements with affected states to meet OCSLA requirements, including sharing information, leveraging specialized expertise, and creating joint monitoring arrangements that support compliance with federal and state laws, regulations, and operational stipulations tied to OCS activity both offshore and onshore. In practice, the cooperative agreement structure signals that BOEMRE expects substantial federal involvement and coordination with the awardee(s), rather than a hands-off grant.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and the announcement is specifically targeted to Louisiana State University (LSU) and other units within the LSU system that can carry out research aligned with BOEMRE priorities. The vehicle for this partnership is the Louisiana Coastal Marine Institute (CMI) at LSU, which was established in 1992 to connect BOEMRE with Gulf-region scientific capacity. Through CMI, LSU expertise is used to collect, analyze, and disseminate environmental information that informs OCS decisions related to oil and gas, renewable energy, and marine minerals. The opportunity also emphasizes addressing local and regional OCS-related environmental and resource issues that are of mutual interest to BOEMRE and Louisiana, while strengthening the federal-state partnership around marine ecosystem information needs.
Funding for the opportunity is estimated at $728,095 in total, with an award ceiling of $728,095 and a minimum award floor of $1,000. BOEMRE anticipated making up to four awards. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients must contribute a defined portion of project costs through non-federal funds or allowable in-kind contributions, consistent with the specific terms that would be detailed in the full announcement. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.422.
Key dates included a posted date of October 7, 2010, a closing date of December 9, 2010 (unchanged as the current closing date), and an archive date of September 30, 2011. Applicants were directed to the full program announcement via Grants.gov, and the listed federal contact for access issues and contracting questions was Christy C. Tardiff, Contracting Officer, reachable at 703-787-1367 or christy.tardiff@boemre.gov.
