Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2009 Louisiana Coastal Marine Institute funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number MMS09HQPA0005) is a discretionary cooperative agreement program run through the Environmental Studies Program of the former Minerals Management Service, later carried under the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. Its main purpose is to fund applied research that supports federal decision-making on offshore energy and mineral activities, especially on the Outer Continental Shelf. The program is aimed at producing studies that help resource managers and regulators better understand and manage the environmental and socioeconomic effects that can result from offshore development, including oil and gas operations, other marine mineral activities, and emerging renewable or alternative energy options.
The legal foundation for the work comes from the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act. Section 1346 requires environmental and socioeconomic studies needed to assess and manage impacts to human communities and to marine and coastal environments that could be affected by offshore mineral development. Section 1345 specifically allows the federal government to use cooperative agreements with affected states so that agencies can share information, combine expertise, and set up joint monitoring approaches that support applicable federal and state laws, regulations, and operational stipulations. In practice, this opportunity is structured to leverage university-based scientific capacity in Louisiana to generate data, analysis, and monitoring that are directly relevant to offshore oversight and permitting decisions.
Eligibility is focused on Louisiana State University and other entities within the LSU system that can carry out research aligned with the Offshore Energy and Minerals Management mission. While the eligible applicant category is listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, the narrative makes clear that LSU is the intended institutional hub for proposal submission under this announcement. Other researchers, universities, or organizations that want to participate are encouraged to collaborate through LSU, coordinating with contacts identified in the program announcement. This reflects the cooperative agreement model, where the agency expects substantial involvement and coordination rather than a hands-off grant.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity anticipated up to 10 awards with an estimated total program funding of about $1,000,000. The listed award ceiling is $1,000,000 and the award floor is $1,000, and there is a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients are expected to contribute resources alongside federal dollars. The funding activity category is environment, and the CFDA listing is 15.422 (Louisiana State University Coastal Marine Institute), indicating the program is part of an established federal assistance line tied to coastal and marine research capacity in Louisiana.
The application window for FY 2009 opened with a posted and created date of February 10, 2009, and a closing date of March 27, 2009, with an archive date of August 31, 2009. Applicants were directed to the full program announcement on Grants.gov for the detailed requirements, proposal format, and submission instructions. For access issues or help locating the full announcement, the contact provided was Christy Tardiff, Contract Specialist, at 703-787-1367, identified as a point of contact for questions about the program announcement.
