Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2015 Environmental Studies Program (ESP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number M15AS00006) is a discretionary federal funding announcement from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) to support applied environmental research that advances the public interest in safe and environmentally sound energy and mineral development on the United States outer continental shelf. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning BOEM expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal participation. The overall purpose is to generate scientific information BOEM can use to inform offshore management decisions, reduce environmental risk, and improve understanding of coastal and offshore ecosystems that may be affected by offshore activities.
This announcement is not a broad, open call for proposals. Instead, it is a targeted program announcement describing specific projects BOEM intends to fund and identifying the eligible recipient pathway for the work. The project highlighted here is BOEM MARINe (Multi Agency Rocky Intertidal Network), and eligibility is limited to the University of California Santa Cruz through the Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit mechanism. While the general eligibility field lists public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, the narrative makes clear that this particular opportunity is effectively directed to the specified institution/consortium arrangement, and any award is contingent on BOEM receiving an acceptable proposal responsive to the described project.
From a funding standpoint, BOEM anticipates making one award, with an estimated total program amount of $2,120,000. The award ceiling is also $2,120,000, indicating BOEM is prepared to fund the full project up to that amount, while the stated award floor is $100,000, suggesting the agency could potentially fund a smaller scoped effort if warranted by the final proposal and negotiations. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.423, which corresponds to BOEMs Environmental Studies Program.
The posting timeline shows it was posted on March 2, 2015, created on March 4, 2015, with an application deadline of April 16, 2015, and an archive date of May 18, 2015. The funding activity category is listed as Environment, consistent with the focus on environmental research and monitoring that supports offshore resource management. For access to the full program announcement and application details, the contact provided is Rhonda Fernandez, Procurement Analyst, reachable at 703-787-1348 and Rhonda.Fernandez@bsee.gov, which is the point of contact for assistance if the full announcement cannot be accessed electronically.
