Opportunity Summary:
The National Estuarine Research Reserve Land Acquisition and Construction Program FY09 (Funding Opportunity Number NOS OCRM 2009 2001450) was a discretionary NOAA funding opportunity designed to support on-the-ground investments in the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS). NERRS is a nationwide network of protected estuarine sites across U.S. coastal states and territories that are managed specifically for long-term research, monitoring, and education. Each reserve is selected to represent different biogeographic regions and a range of ecosystem types, consistent with the national classification framework laid out in the NERRS regulations at 15 CFR Part 921. In practical terms, the program is meant to help reserves protect important estuarine lands and waters and to build or improve the facilities needed to carry out science and public education over the long term.
The core purpose of this FY09 competition was to provide financial support for two main categories of projects: land acquisition and construction. Land acquisition funding was intended to help reserves secure key parcels or interests in land and water that strengthen the integrity of reserve boundaries, protect habitat, and reduce threats that could undermine research and education uses over time. Construction funding was aimed at developing or upgrading reserve infrastructure, including facilities and exhibits that support the NERRS mission. The announcement emphasizes that, by supporting these kinds of capital projects through designated reserve agencies and universities, NOAA sought to strengthen protection of priority areas, enhance long-term stewardship for research and education, and expand or improve facility and exhibit capabilities.
Awards were offered either as cooperative agreements or grants, reflecting NOAA involvement consistent with federal assistance mechanisms, and the activity fit within environment, natural resources, science and technology, and other research and development categories. The program was associated with CFDA number 11.420 (Coastal Zone Management - Estuarine Research Reserves). NOAA anticipated making approximately 23 awards under this opportunity, with an estimated total funding amount of $6,890,000. The announcement stated there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can be significant for applicants planning capital-intensive work such as real property acquisition or construction.
Eligibility was limited to NERR lead state agencies or universities in coastal states, and applicants were expected to have completed all requirements under the NERRS regulations in 15 CFR Part 921. In other words, this was not an open competition for any nonprofit or local government; it was directed toward the official entities responsible for leading designated reserves and meeting federal program compliance expectations. The notice points applicants to the NERRS regulatory background information hosted by NOAA and indicates that eligibility details were further clarified in an additional information section within the full opportunity announcement.
Timing and administrative details were straightforward: the opportunity was posted and created on July 11, 2008, and the application deadline was November 30, 2008, with the archive date listed as December 30, 2008. The primary agency was the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Applicants were directed to access the complete announcement via the "Full Opportunity" link, and a point of contact was provided for access issues: Steve Drescher, Policy Advisor, at 301-713-0926, along with a note about assistance for application download problems.
