Opportunity Summary:
This FY 2014 funding opportunity comes from the Department of Commerce through NOAA's Climate Program Office (CPO), specifically the Coastal and Ocean Climate Applications (COCA) program, working in partnership with NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The overall goal is to strengthen the science and decision-support needed to understand how climate variability and long-term climate change are affecting fish stocks and fisheries, and to translate that understanding into better projections and more sustainable fisheries management. The geographic focus is the U.S. Northeast Shelf Large Marine Ecosystem (NESLME), a region where changing ocean conditions have major consequences for commercially and ecologically important species and the communities that depend on them.
The competition is aimed at projects that improve understanding, projection, and management of climate-driven impacts on fisheries. In practical terms, NOAA is looking for research that links climate and ocean conditions to changes in fish populations and fishery performance, and that produces information managers can actually use. While the announcement language is broad, it clearly emphasizes impacts from both climate variability (year-to-year and decadal swings) and climate change (longer-term trends), and it encourages work that helps forecast or anticipate shifts in stock productivity, distribution, timing, recruitment, ecosystem interactions, and related factors that influence sustainable harvest and management outcomes in the Northeast region.
A second, more targeted component is also included: support for a one-year workshop planning effort capped at up to $50,000. This workshop activity is meant to bring together scientists across multiple disciplines, including physical oceanography and climate science as well as ecological, social, and economic expertise. The intent is to build interdisciplinary partnerships and to identify, discuss, and prioritize future research needs that would advance understanding of climate impacts on fish or other species that support economically important fisheries in the United States. In other words, NOAA is not only funding research now, but also trying to shape a more coordinated, cross-disciplinary research agenda for what should come next.
The opportunity is offered under Funding Opportunity Number NOAA OAR CPO 2014 2004106 and falls under CFDA 11.431 (Climate and Atmospheric Research). Awards may be made as grants and/or cooperative agreements, indicating NOAA expects varying levels of involvement and collaboration depending on the project. The stated maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $600,000, with no specified minimum (award floor listed as $0). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the burden on applicants and allows proposals to be built around the scientific and practical needs rather than a required non-federal match.
Eligibility is broad. Applicants may include institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations, commercial (for-profit) organizations, international organizations, and federal, state, local, and tribal governments. The announcement also strongly encourages collaboration with NOAA laboratories, NOAA Fisheries Science Centers, and Cooperative Institutes when such partnerships improve the effectiveness of the research and increase the value and usability of the outcomes. That emphasis signals NOAA's interest in projects that connect directly to existing NOAA capabilities, data streams, and management processes, rather than operating in isolation.
Key dates in the original announcement show a two-step submission process. Letters of Intent were due Monday, July 14, 2014, and full proposals were due Friday, September 12, 2014. The opportunity was posted June 24, 2014 and archived after the full proposal deadline (archive date September 12, 2014). For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Adrienne Antoine via NOAA email, and the announcement noted that full details on FY14 research topics, priorities, and the appropriate competition manager were available through NOAA's COCA program information page.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is this funding opportunity?
This is a FY 2014 government funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAA's Climate Program Office (CPO), under the Coastal and Ocean Climate Applications (COCA) program, in partnership with NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). It supports projects that strengthen the science and decision-support used to understand and manage how climate variability and long-term climate change affect fish stocks and fisheries.
What is the overall goal of the program?
The overall goal is to improve understanding of climate impacts on fisheries and translate that understanding into better projections and more sustainable fisheries management. NOAA is looking for work that connects climate and ocean conditions to changes in fish populations and fishery performance in ways that are directly useful to managers.
What geographic area is the focus?
The geographic focus is the U.S. Northeast Shelf Large Marine Ecosystem (NESLME). The opportunity emphasizes that changing ocean conditions in this region have major consequences for commercially and ecologically important species and the communities that depend on them.
What kinds of projects is NOAA trying to fund?
The competition targets projects that improve understanding, projection, and management of climate-driven impacts on fisheries. In practical terms, NOAA seeks research that links climate and ocean conditions to changes in fish stocks and fishery outcomes and produces information managers can use in decision-making.
Does the opportunity address both short-term climate variability and long-term climate change?
Yes. The announcement emphasizes impacts from both climate variability (including year-to-year and decadal swings) and longer-term climate change trends. Projects are encouraged to address how both types of climate influences affect fisheries and management outcomes.
What fisheries-related changes does NOAA want projects to address?
