Opportunity Summary:
The National Coastal and Estuarine Research and Technology Program (NCERT) is a NOAA funding opportunity designed to build a national research and technology effort that works in close partnership with the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS). The core purpose is to support collaborative research and then turn the best available science into practical, innovative tools that coastal and estuarine managers can actually use on the ground. The focus is on helping managers detect problems early, prevent damage where possible, and reverse impacts where feasible, especially when those impacts stem from coastal pollution and habitat degradation. A major emphasis is not just creating new approaches, but also improving understanding of what management tools already exist, how well they perform, and how to apply them effectively in real coastal settings.
This opportunity was issued by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under Funding Opportunity Number NOS OCRM 2009 2001493, and it was described as a re-solicitation, meaning proposals submitted under the earlier announcement needed to be re-submitted by the revised deadline in order to be considered. New proposals were also allowed. Applications had to be received by 5 p.m. Eastern Time on December 8, 2008, and late submissions were to be returned without review. The announcement specified that applications could not be submitted by fax or email, reflecting a paper-based submission process at the time.
NCERT funding was offered as discretionary financial assistance using either cooperative agreements or grants. The activity areas were tied to environment, natural resources, science and technology, and other research and development efforts, and the program was listed under CFDA 11.419 (Coastal Zone Management Administration Awards). The estimated total funding available across awards was $5,232,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated, which can lower barriers for eligible organizations that might not have non-federal match readily available.
Eligibility covered a range of non-federal entities that have legal authority to receive federal financial assistance. Specifically, eligible applicants included non-federal institutions of higher education, other nonprofit organizations, commercial organizations, and state and local governments. The announcement also laid out several important conditions tied to staffing and submission. NOAA OCRM/ERD indicated it would not fund salaries for federal full-time employees (FTEs), though it could support other project expenses such as travel, equipment, supplies, and contractual personnel costs associated with the work. Researchers leading the work needed to be employees of an eligible applicant organization, and the proposal had to be submitted through that organization in line with its internal rules. The program also allowed the involvement of foreign researchers, but only as collaborators working with a lead researcher who met the stated eligibility requirements.
In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at bridging the common gap between research results and day-to-day coastal management decisions. It prioritizes efforts that move beyond producing academic findings alone and instead deliver usable methods, decision-support tools, and technology applications that can be deployed by coastal programs and reserve partners dealing with pollution pressures and habitat decline. Questions about accessing the full announcement were directed to a NOAA contact, Steve Drescher, Policy Advisor, at 301-713-0926.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the National Coastal and Estuarine Research and Technology Program (NCERT)?
NCERT is a NOAA funding opportunity designed to build a national research and technology effort in close partnership with the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS).
