Opportunity Summary:
The FY17-18 CRCP State and Territorial Coral Reef Conservation Cooperative Agreements opportunity is a NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) funding program authorized under the Coral Reef Conservation Act of 2000. Its central purpose is to provide matching financial assistance to the primary state, territorial, and commonwealth resource management agencies that each Governor designates as the main point of contact for coral reef conservation in their jurisdiction. The eligible jurisdictions specifically named in the announcement are American Samoa, Florida, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Rather than a standard grant, NOAA uses cooperative agreements, which signals that NOAA expects to be actively involved with recipients in planning, coordination, and implementation as the funded work proceeds.
The program objective is to strengthen coral reef management, monitoring, and on-the-ground conservation projects that measurably improve the condition of coral reef ecosystem resources across those seven U.S. jurisdictions. In practice, this means the funding is intended to support priority coral reef management activities laid out in the Federal Funding Opportunity announcement (referenced as Section I.B. in the source text), generally covering core management capacity and applied conservation work such as monitoring reef condition, addressing local stressors, supporting management decision-making, and implementing projects that protect or restore reef ecosystems.
Funding levels are described in several layers. At the program level, NOAA anticipated total FY2017 funding in a broad range of about $3,000,000 to $4,500,000, depending on Congressional appropriations. At the applicant level, NOAA expected each eligible agency to request between $200,000 and $900,000 per year, with an average award size around $500,000 annually. The award ceiling is listed as $900,000, and NOAA projected roughly 10 awards. Continued funding into FY2018 is not guaranteed; it is explicitly contingent on future appropriations, the recipient agency's ability to properly administer federal funds, and performance during the first year of the award as well as performance on prior awards.
Administratively, the opportunity is issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAA (National Ocean Service), categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity using the cooperative agreement instrument. The listing includes CFDA 11.482 and is framed within Environment, Natural Resources, and Science and Technology / Research and Development activity areas. The opportunity identifier is NOAA NOS OCM 2017 2004809. The announcement was created on Aug 05, 2016, with an original closing date of Feb 16, 2017. Eligibility is described as "Others" with clarification in the full notice, but the narrative makes clear the intended applicants are the officially designated state, territorial, and commonwealth coral reef management lead agencies for the listed jurisdictions, and the assistance is structured as a matching award, meaning recipients are expected to contribute non-federal matching resources consistent with the program's requirements.
