Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), through its Environmental Studies Program (ESP), released a discretionary funding opportunity intended to support research that advances safe and environmentally responsible energy and mineral development on the United States Outer Continental Shelf. The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means BOEM expects to have substantial involvement during the project (for example, coordination on study design, data needs, deliverables, or reporting) rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The research focus falls under an environmental activity category and is aligned with BOEM ESP priorities related to understanding and managing offshore environmental impacts.
This particular announcement is not an open call for proposals. It is a targeted program announcement specifically naming George Mason University as the intended recipient for a single defined project: "A Comparative Analysis of an Oil Spill on the Biota Inhabiting Several Gulf of Mexico Shipwrecks - Microbial Analysis." In practical terms, that means BOEM is only requesting a proposal for this one project and is not seeking competing submissions from other organizations under this notice. The broader ESP may release additional, separate opportunities in the future, but this posting is restricted to the project and institution specified.
The award profile is tightly defined. BOEM anticipated making one award, with total estimated funding of $166,329. The award ceiling and floor are both set at $166,329, indicating the expected budget amount is essentially fixed rather than presented as a range. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so the recipient would be expected to contribute a portion of the project costs through allowable non-federal resources, consistent with the terms of the cooperative agreement and applicable federal assistance rules. The CFDA listing associated with the program is 15.423 (BOEM Environmental Studies Program).
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which is consistent with the fact that the opportunity is aimed at a university partner. The original and current closing date for proposal submission was June 3, 2013, with the opportunity posted on April 18, 2013 and later archived on July 3, 2013, reflecting that it is an older, time-limited announcement that has since closed.
For access to the full program announcement and the application portal, the notice points to an additional information link, and it provides a federal contact for assistance and questions. The contracting officer listed is Dominique Bruce (703-787-1342, Dominique.Bruce@bsee.gov), who would have served as the point of contact for technical or administrative issues related to the announcement and submission process.
