Opportunity Summary:
The Coral Reef Institutions FY12 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NOAA NOS NCCOS 2012 2003288) is a NOAA grant/cooperative agreement solicitation administered under the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAA's National Ocean Service, specifically NCCOS/CSCOR. It is a discretionary research funding announcement focused on supporting coral reef related science and technical work through NOAA's established Coral Reef Institute partner network. The program is limited to one-year projects, with funding dependent on the availability of Fiscal Year 2012 federal appropriations. NOAA anticipated making final funding recommendations in July 2012, with an expected project start date of September 1, 2012.
The estimated total amount available across awards was approximately $645,000, and the assistance listing referenced is CFDA 11.426 (Financial Assistance for National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science). The announcement indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants should expect to document non-federal contributions or other allowable match consistent with the full announcement terms.
Eligibility is restricted to the NOAA Coral Reef Institute partners, and proposals must be submitted through one of these specific institutions: the National Coral Reef Institute at Nova Southeastern University; the Caribbean Coral Reef Institute at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez; the Hawaii Coral Reef Initiative at the University of Hawaii; and the Western Pacific Coral Reef Institute at the University of Guam. Individual researchers are not eligible to apply independently; they must be employees of one of the listed partner entities and submit through that institution following internal proposal submission rules. NOAA also noted that non-NOAA federal applicants may need to provide certifications or documentation demonstrating they have legal authority to receive federal funds for the proposed research. Foreign researchers are not direct applicants but may participate through subawards issued by an eligible U.S. partner institution. Researchers affiliated with NOAA University Cooperative or Joint Institutes are expected to follow joint institutional requirements, with funding routed through grants to their institutions or the joint institutes as applicable.
A key funding restriction highlighted is that NCCOS/CSCOR generally does not fund federal full-time equivalent (FTE) salaries. However, the program typically will support other necessary project costs such as travel, equipment, supplies, and contractual personnel tied to the proposed work. If an applicant believes an exception to the federal salary restriction applies, they are expected to contact the Program Manager in advance, provide supporting documentation, and receive approval before submitting an application.
Applications were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, with an original and current closing date of April 2, 2012. The posting and creation date were March 5, 2012, and the archive date was May 2, 2012. For supplemental background, NOAA referenced web pages for the NOAA Coral Reef Institute partners and the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program. The notice also provided a point of contact for problems accessing the full announcement electronically, listing Steve Drescher (Policy Advisor) for application download issues only.
