Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2014 Renewable Energy Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number M14AS00004) is a targeted cooperative agreement announcement issued by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) through its Office of Renewable Energy Programs (OREP). The purpose is to support research and planning activities that inform BOEMs responsibilities for renewable energy development on the Nations outer continental shelf, including leasing decisions and the review of site assessment plans and construction and operations plans. Rather than being a broad, competitive call for applications, this announcement is narrowly focused and describes specific work BOEM intends to undertake in partnership with the Commonwealth of Virginia, Department of Mines Minerals and Energy, contingent on BOEM receiving an acceptable proposal.
The announcement anticipates making up to two cooperative agreement awards during Fiscal Year 2014. The two projects identified are: (1) Fisheries Collaborative Spatial Planning of Offshore Wind Energy Area (WEA) Development, and (2) Virginia Ocean Geophysical Survey Phase II Analyses. In practical terms, these projects are meant to strengthen the information base used to plan and evaluate offshore renewable energy activities, with one effort emphasizing collaborative spatial planning with fisheries stakeholders in areas where offshore wind may be developed, and the other focusing on analyzing geophysical survey results to improve understanding of seafloor and subsurface conditions relevant to offshore planning and siting.
Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, BOEM expects substantial involvement by BOEM scientists in designing the work and/or carrying it out. This distinguishes the opportunity from a standard grant where the recipient generally operates more independently. The involvement could include joint development of study approaches, coordination on data collection and analysis, and close collaboration during study execution to ensure the outputs directly support BOEMs mission and decision-making needs for offshore renewable energy.
Financially, BOEM estimated total funding at $350,000 across the anticipated awards, with an award floor of $100,000 and an award ceiling of $200,000. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and falls under an Environment, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development activity area. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.408 (Bureau of Ocean Energy Management Renewable Energy Program).
Eligibility is listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, although the narrative of the announcement makes clear that it is specifically offering this cooperative agreement opportunity to the Commonwealth of Virginia, Department of Mines Minerals and Energy, and that no other proposals are being requested at this time. BOEM also notes that additional opportunities could be announced in the future, but this particular program announcement is not an open solicitation.
Key dates included a posted date of March 19, 2014, an original closing date of June 17, 2014, and a revised current closing date of August 5, 2014, with an archive date of September 5, 2014. For program background, BOEM referenced its renewable energy environmental studies focus area on its website. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Dominique Bruce, Contracting Officer, at 703-787-1342 or Dominique.Bruce@bsee.gov.
