Opportunity Summary:
The BOEMRE FY 2012 Alaska Coastal Marine Institute opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number M11AS00002) was a discretionary, environment-focused cooperative agreement offered by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement (BOEMRE) through the University of Alaska Coastal Marine Institute (CMI). The program was designed specifically to support research conducted within the University of Alaska system, including the University of Alaska Fairbanks and other eligible UA units, as long as they could carry out studies that align with federal offshore energy oversight needs and that contribute to safe, environmentally responsible energy and mineral development.
At its core, the opportunity sits within BOEMRE's Environmental Studies Program (ESP), which funds scientific and socioeconomic work needed to understand and manage the impacts of offshore development. The supported research was expected to serve the goals of BOEMRE's Offshore Energy and Minerals Management (OEMM) Program, which is responsible for overseeing exploration and development of oil, natural gas, other minerals, and renewable energy alternatives on the US Outer Continental Shelf. In practical terms, this means projects were intended to generate data, analyses, monitoring approaches, and other decision-support information that regulators and stakeholders can use when evaluating offshore activities and their onshore and offshore consequences.
The legal rationale for the program is grounded in the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA). Section 1346 requires the federal government to conduct environmental and socioeconomic studies necessary to assess and manage impacts on human, marine, and coastal environments that may be affected by offshore oil and gas activity, renewable energy development, or other mineral extraction. Section 1345 further supports collaboration by authorizing cooperative agreements with affected states, emphasizing information-sharing, joint use of expertise, and coordinated monitoring arrangements to help carry out relevant federal and state laws, regulations, and operational stipulations tied to Outer Continental Shelf activities.
Administratively, the award mechanism was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial federal involvement compared to a standard grant, often through collaboration on project direction, deliverables, or coordination needs. The program anticipated up to 6 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $750,000. The stated award ceiling was $750,000 and the award floor was $1,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed. Eligible applicants were public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, with the narrative clearly aiming the competition toward units within the University of Alaska system through the CMI structure.
Key dates included a posting date of May 13, 2011, with an application deadline (original and current) of September 16, 2011, and an archive date of August 31, 2012. The opportunity was associated with CFDA number 15.421 (Alaska Coastal Marine Institute). For access issues or administrative questions, the contracting officer contact provided was Christy C. Tardiff (703-787-1367, christy.tardiff@boemre.gov), with the full announcement available via Grants.gov as referenced by the additional information link.
