Opportunity Summary:
The NOAA Regional Ocean Partnership Funding Program (ROPFP) FY2011 Funding Competition is a competitive federal funding opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAA (Office for Coastal Management, CFDA 11.473). The program is designed to strengthen regional approaches to coastal and ocean management by supporting Regional Ocean Partnerships (ROPs), especially where those partnerships are developing or carrying out Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning (CMSP). NOAA ties this competition directly to the national ocean policy direction set out in the July 2010 Final Recommendations of the Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force, including the national CMSP Framework, with the broader intent of improving how coastal and ocean uses are coordinated and governed at a regional scale.
The competition supports two main categories of work. The first is implementation funding for activities that help a region make progress on priorities identified by an ROP while also advancing CMSP in line with the national framework. In practical terms, this category is aimed at on-the-ground or operational work that moves regional planning and coordination forward, such as efforts that improve multi-sector decision-making, data use, and coordinated management across coastal and ocean stakeholders. The second category is ROP development and governance support, which can cover administrative and operational needs of existing ROPs as well as start-up costs for regions that are beginning to form ROPs. This recognizes that effective regional governance requires sustained coordination capacity, not just project-by-project outputs.
Funding is offered through cooperative agreements, meaning NOAA expects to have substantial involvement during the award period (for example, coordination, technical input, or oversight consistent with cooperative agreement structures). NOAA anticipated approximately $20,000,000 total available for FY2011, contingent on appropriations, and noted the possibility of an additional roughly $10,000,000 from NOAA or other federal agencies that could be used for FY2011 awards or multi-year awards resulting from this competition. NOAA projected about 30 awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed for this opportunity.
Eligibility is broad and includes state, local, territorial, and tribal governments; institutions of higher learning; and nonprofit and for-profit organizations that can receive and expend federal funds as legal entities. The notice also clarifies that federal agencies and federal employees cannot receive funds as recipients under this announcement, but they may participate as collaborators. If federal partners are involved, applicants are expected to describe what those partners will contribute, such as additional funding, in-kind services, or a review role. Another key eligibility-related expectation is coordination with the relevant Regional Ocean Partnership for the region in question; applicants are expected to demonstrate that their proposed work and requested funding align with and are coordinated through the appropriate ROP structure. The lead applicant remains accountable for proper use of funds, including any subawards.
For timing, full proposals were due to NOAA by December 10, 2010, for the FY2011 competition (Funding Opportunity Number NOAA NOS CSC 2011 2002721). NOAA expected project start dates to fall on the first day of July, August, or September 2011, and no later than October 1, 2011. The statutory authority cited for the program is the Coastal Zone Management Act, 16 U.S.C. 1456c, under the technical assistance provisions.
Applicants needing access to the full announcement were directed to use the full opportunity materials associated with the posting, with a contact listed for download or access issues (Steve Drescher, Policy Advisor).
