Opportunity Summary:
The FY2012 Community based Marine Debris Removal grant opportunity was a discretionary federal funding competition run by the Department of Commerce through NOAA, specifically the NOAA Marine Debris Program (housed within the Office of Response and Restoration, National Ocean Service). It was authorized under the Marine Debris Research, Prevention, and Reduction Act and was designed to move projects from planning into real, on-the-ground action. The core purpose was to catalyze locally driven efforts that prevent, assess, and remove marine debris in ways that measurably benefit coastal habitats, waterways, and NOAA trust resources.
The solicitation emphasized community based projects with strong habitat restoration outcomes, especially hands-on debris removal and the removal of derelict fishing gear. NOAA made clear that competitive projects would not only generate ecological improvements over the long term, but also provide practical social benefits for people and their communities, such as safer waterways, improved access to coastal areas, and local engagement in stewardship. In addition to the physical removal work, the program also aimed to strengthen broader habitat restoration practice through community based debris removal and to increase awareness of the impacts of marine debris on living marine resource habitats.
Awards were issued as cooperative agreements, meaning NOAA expected to have substantial involvement in the funded work compared with a standard grant. Total funding anticipated for FY2012 was up to $2,000,000, with approximately 15 awards expected. Most awards were expected to fall in the $15,000 to $150,000 range, while the published minimum and maximum award amounts were $15,000 (floor) and $250,000 (ceiling). The program also required cost sharing or matching funds, so applicants needed to contribute non-federal resources or document qualifying match to support the project budget.
Eligibility was broad and included institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations, commercial for-profit organizations, state and local governments, Indian tribal governments, and certain international applicants such as organizations under the jurisdiction of foreign governments and international organizations (with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement). The opportunity was categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and was associated with CFDA 11.463 (Habitat Conservation). The funding opportunity number was NOAA NMFS HCPO 2012 2003095. The announcement was posted on Aug 23, 2011, with an application deadline of Nov 1, 2011, and an archive date of Dec 1, 2011. For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, NOAA listed Tom Barry at the NOAA Restoration Center as the program contact.
