Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2013 Environmental Studies Program opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number M13AS00007) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) under its Environmental Studies Program (ESP), CFDA 15.423. It is specifically framed as a cooperative agreement with the University of Rhode Island, reflecting BOEM's intent to work closely with an affected state institution of higher education to carry out targeted research and information-sharing that supports federal offshore energy decision-making. The single anticipated award totals $900,000, with both the award floor and ceiling set at $900,000, and it includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement.
The core purpose of the agreement is to fund research that advances the goals of BOEM's Office of Renewable Energy Programs (OREP). OREP is responsible for leasing renewable energy projects on the United States outer continental shelf and for reviewing key developer submissions, including site assessment plans and construction and operations plans. In practical terms, the funded work is meant to generate environmental and socioeconomic information that BOEM can use to evaluate potential impacts of offshore renewable energy development and to support planning, permitting, and oversight functions tied to those projects.
The legal justification and program rationale are grounded in the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA). Section 1346 of OCSLA requires the federal government to conduct environmental and socioeconomic studies needed to assess and manage impacts on human communities as well as marine and coastal environments that could be affected by offshore development. Section 1345 of OCSLA further authorizes BOEM to use cooperative agreements with affected states to meet OCSLA requirements and other federal legal obligations. This authority explicitly supports collaboration mechanisms such as sharing information, leveraging joint expertise, facilitating permitting procedures, conducting joint planning and review, and establishing joint surveillance and monitoring arrangements. The intent is to ensure offshore activities, and associated onshore components, are informed by strong science and coordinated federal-state implementation consistent with applicable laws, regulations, and stipulations.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on March 21, 2013, with a creation date of April 16, 2013. The original closing date was April 22, 2013, later extended to May 6, 2013, and the opportunity was archived on May 22, 2013. Eligibility is listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the stated focus on the University of Rhode Island. For access issues related to the full announcement and application portal, the contact provided is Kathleen M. Craig, Contracting Officer, at 703-787-1332 or Kathleen.Craig@bsee.gov, who is also identified as the point of contact for questions about the program announcement.
