Opportunity Summary:
The NOAA Sea Grant Aquaculture Extension and Technology Transfer 2015 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NOAA OAR SG 2015 2004399) is a national, competitive funding program run by the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAA Sea Grant. Its purpose is to strengthen marine aquaculture extension and technology transfer so that aquaculture in ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes settings can grow in ways that are both environmentally responsible and economically viable. For the purposes of this competition, aquaculture conducted in the Great Lakes or within the Great Lakes coastal zone is treated as marine aquaculture, which broadens the geographic scope beyond saltwater coasts.
Funding is structured around cooperative agreements and grants, supporting work that fits within education, environment, and science and technology/research and development activity categories. NOAA Sea Grant anticipated having roughly $1.6 million available in each of FY 2015 and FY 2016, for an estimated total of $3.2 million across the two years. The program expected to make around 10 awards. Individual proposals could request up to $300,000 in total federal funds for projects lasting up to two years, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants must bring non-federal match to the project as part of the overall budget.
A central program requirement is partnership. Proposals must include collaboration with at least one partner or set of partners, such as local community governments, state or federal agencies, regional management organizations, industry, or non-governmental organizations. This partnership expectation reflects the extension and technology transfer focus of the program: projects are meant to move practical knowledge, tools, and practices into real-world use by producers, communities, managers, or other end users rather than remaining purely academic or experimental.
Eligibility is limited to specific Sea Grant entities: Sea Grant College Programs, Sea Grant Institutional Programs, Sea Grant Coherent Area Programs, and the National Sea Grant Law Center. Multiple Sea Grant programs are allowed to collaborate on a single project, but joint submissions must be made as one consolidated application with one Sea Grant program designated as the lead and official awardee of record, and the other participating programs included through subawards. While organizations outside Sea Grant cannot apply directly under this announcement, NOAA encouraged outside parties to work with their regional Sea Grant program to explore partnership opportunities, with director contact information available through the Sea Grant website.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on February 24, 2015, with an application deadline of April 27, 2015, and an archive date of May 27, 2015. Awards were expected to begin no later than September 1, 2015. NOAA also noted that additional proposals from this competition could be selected for funding in later fiscal years if funds became available, implying that high-quality submissions might remain under consideration beyond the initial award slate depending on appropriations and program priorities.
For administrative help or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed points of contact were Dorn Carlson (301-734-1080) and Devin Brakob (301-734-1085), with a program email address referenced in the notice.
