Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), through its Environmental Studies Program (ESP), offered a discretionary cooperative agreement to support research that advances safe and environmentally responsible energy and mineral development on the US outer continental shelf. This specific project, titled "Cook Inlet Circulation Model Calculations," focused on building updated ocean circulation hindcast simulations for Cook Inlet, Shelikof Strait, and nearby parts of the Gulf of Alaska using a modern, state-of-the-science general circulation model. In practical terms, the work was meant to reconstruct and describe past ocean conditions and circulation patterns in the region so agencies and stakeholders could better anticipate where water, contaminants, or spill-related materials might move, and how offshore activity could interact with sensitive marine environments.
A key goal of the study was to generate credible, current scientific information that would be directly useful to decision-makers and regional organizations, including the State of Alaska and the Cook Inlet Regional Citizens Advisory Committee, along with other stakeholders involved in offshore development and environmental oversight. By improving the understanding of regional ocean dynamics, the project was positioned to support impact assessment, planning, and mitigation tied to potential offshore energy resource development.
Eligibility was narrowly limited to competition among specific Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) partners: University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) under the Californian CESU, University of Alaska Fairbanks under the North and West Alaska CESU, or Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey under the North Atlantic Coast CESU. While the broader eligible applicant category was public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, this opportunity was effectively restricted to those named CESU organizations.
The opportunity was identified by Funding Opportunity Number M13AS00013 under CFDA 15.423 (BOEM Environmental Studies Program). BOEM expected to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000. The award floor was listed as $150,000 and the ceiling as $500,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The announcement was posted on August 1, 2013, with an application deadline of August 16, 2013, and it was archived on August 23, 2013. Applications were handled through Grants.gov via the application package download portal referenced in the announcement. For access issues or questions, the listed contact was Dominique Bruce, Contract Specialist, reachable at 703-787-1342 or Dominique.Bruce@bsee.gov.
