Opportunity Summary:
The FY2011 Modernizing and Improving State Coastal Zone Management Information Systems Funding Competition (Funding Opportunity Number NOAA NOS OCRM 2011 2002843) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Commerce, through NOAA, aimed at helping state and territorial coastal zone management programs strengthen the information systems they use to manage coastal resources. The central goal is to fund projects that build, modernize, expand, or otherwise improve state-level systems that support coastal permitting and land-use oversight. In practical terms, NOAA is looking for proposals that make it easier for coastal programs to assess, track, and manage permitting activities and/or land use within state coastal zones, improving how information is collected, organized, shared, and used for decision-making.
This competition is offered under the authority of Section 310 of the Coastal Zone Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1456c). Eligibility is limited to coastal zone management programs that have been approved by NOAA under the Coastal Zone Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1455). The designated lead agency for each approved state or territorial program is the entity that may submit an application. That lead agency can also submit proposals on behalf of partner agencies within the approved statewide coastal management network, when applicable. While local governments and nonprofit organizations are allowed to participate as project partners, the focus must remain on strengthening state information systems rather than developing information systems intended primarily for local-level coastal management implementation.
Awards are expected to be made as cooperative agreements, which typically means NOAA anticipates involvement beyond a simple pass-through of funds, such as coordination, technical input, or oversight consistent with cooperative agreement structures. NOAA anticipated making about 20 awards under this competition. The total estimated funding available is $1,000,000, with individual award sizes ranging from a floor of $50,000 to a ceiling of $300,000. There is no stated cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial barrier to participation and allows eligible programs to propose projects based on need and impact rather than available match.
The funding opportunity falls under the Environment and Natural Resources activity category and is associated with CFDA number 11.419 (Coastal Zone Management Administration Awards). The announcement was posted on January 6, 2011, with an application deadline of February 7, 2011, and it was later archived on March 9, 2011. Applicants were directed to access the full opportunity announcement through the main posting, and a point of contact was provided for technical difficulties obtaining the application materials: Steve Drescher, Policy Advisor, for application download issues.
