Opportunity Summary:
The NOAA FY 2010 FY2011 Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity run by the Department of Commerce through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). It is designed to solicit proposals for special projects and programs that support NOAA's strategic plan and overall mission goals. In practical terms, this announcement serves as an open door for ideas that fit NOAA priorities but do not neatly fit within NOAA's standard, regularly competed discretionary grant programs. NOAA frames the BAA as a way to encourage research, education and outreach efforts, innovative projects, and certain sponsorship-type activities that advance NOAA's work in environment, natural resources, and science and technology or other research and development fields.
A key point of this BAA is what it is not meant to do. NOAA explicitly states it is not a vehicle for congressionally directed funding (often referred to as earmarks). Instead, it functions as a general mechanism for NOAA to consider proposals tied to its mission, while also explaining to the public how NOAA expects to select proposals and administer discretionary financial assistance. Awards under this opportunity can be made either as grants or cooperative agreements, which typically means NOAA may either provide funds with limited involvement (grant) or anticipate substantial NOAA involvement in the project during performance (cooperative agreement), depending on the nature of the work and the governing authority.
Funding availability is also clearly conditional. NOAA notes that potential awards depend on the availability of appropriations for Fiscal Years 2010, 2011, and 2012, and applicants are warned that, at the time of the notice, funds had not yet been appropriated for proposed activities under this announcement. Just as importantly, NOAA emphasizes that publishing the announcement does not obligate the agency to move forward beyond an initial administrative review of any application, does not guarantee that any specific project will be funded, and does not commit NOAA to obligate funds even if they become available. In other words, submission under the BAA is an opportunity to be considered, not a promise of review, selection, or award.
The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NOAA NFA NFAPO 2010 2002272) was posted on January 14, 2010, and remained open until September 30, 2011, with an archive date of October 30, 2011. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which can lower the barrier to entry for organizations that may not have non-federal resources available to meet a match.
Eligibility is intentionally broad, but not unlimited. NOAA indicates that eligible applicants may include institutions of higher education, nonprofits, commercial (for-profit) organizations, international or foreign organizations or governments, individuals, and state, local, and Indian tribal governments. However, NOAA also notes that eligibility ultimately depends on the statutory authority that would allow NOAA to fund the specific proposed activity. Applicants are directed to consult the relevant CFDA listing(s) associated with the work to confirm whether they are eligible under the applicable program authority. This means that even if an applicant type is generally allowable, a specific proposal still has to align with a lawful funding authority that NOAA can use for that activity.
