Opportunity Summary:
The Coral Reef Conservation Program State and Territorial Coral Reef Conservation Cooperative Agreements opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NOAA NOS OCRM 2011 2002588) is a NOAA grant program run under the U.S. Department of Commerce and authorized by the Coral Reef Conservation Act of 2000. Its central purpose is to fund on-the-ground coral reef conservation work and longer-term reef management capacity in key U.S. coral reef jurisdictions. Rather than being a general open competition, it is designed specifically to support the government agencies in each eligible jurisdiction that have been formally designated by their Governor as the primary point of contact for coral reef conservation activities.
Funding is provided through cooperative agreements (and identified as a discretionary opportunity), which means NOAA expects to be actively involved beyond simply issuing funds. In practice, this structure is intended to promote collaboration between NOAA and the award recipients during both planning and implementation, aligning local management priorities with NOAA technical input, monitoring approaches, and conservation strategies. The work supported is focused on improving the condition of coral reef ecosystem resources and includes activities such as coral reef management programs, monitoring programs, and conservation projects, all tied directly to reef ecosystem health in the eligible locations.
Eligibility is limited to the State, Territorial, and Commonwealth resource management agencies officially appointed as the lead coral reef conservation contact in the following jurisdictions: American Samoa, Florida, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients must provide non-federal match consistent with the program rules. The listing is associated with CFDA number 11.482 (Coral Reef Conservation Program), and the overall activity area is categorized under environment, natural resources, and science and technology/research and development.
The estimated total funding amount for this announcement is $4,500,000. The opportunity was posted and created on July 20, 2010, with an application closing date of March 4, 2011 (and it was later archived on April 3, 2011). Applicants needing access to the full announcement were directed to use the "Full Opportunity" link in the posting. For technical difficulties related to downloading the application materials, the listed contact was Steve Drescher, Policy Advisor, specifically for application download issues.
