Opportunity Summary:
The NOAA Sea Grant Community Climate Adaptation Initiative 2013 was a discretionary federal grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAA Sea Grant (CFDA 11.417, Sea Grant Support). It was set up as a national competition intended to strengthen climate adaptation efforts in coastal communities during the FY 2013 to FY 2014 period. NOAA Sea Grant indicated it expected to make up to $1,000,000 available for awards, but that total amount depended on Congressional appropriation. The agency anticipated making about five awards under this competition, focused on practical, community-centered climate adaptation work rather than purely theoretical research.
Funding was offered through grants and cooperative agreements, within the broader activity area of environment, science and technology, and other research and development. Individual projects could request up to $100,000 in federal funds, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). A key requirement was cost sharing or matching funds, meaning applicants needed to bring non-federal matching support to the project rather than relying entirely on federal dollars. Another major expectation was partnership: projects were supposed to be carried out in collaboration with local community governments and with state and federal agencies, reflecting NOAA Sea Grant's emphasis on applied solutions that are grounded in real community needs and that can be implemented through existing governance and management structures.
Eligibility was limited to NOAA Sea Grant Programs, specifically Sea Grant Colleges, Institutions, and Coherent Area Programs. Proposals were allowed to involve collaboration among two or more Sea Grant programs, but an important cap applied: the federal request could not exceed $100,000 per Sea Grant program. While organizations outside the Sea Grant network could not apply directly under this announcement, NOAA encouraged other interested parties to partner with their regional Sea Grant programs to participate in project development and implementation. NOAA provided a directory link for Sea Grant program contacts and also noted that contact details could be obtained through the agency point of contact.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on February 27, 2013, and applications were due by April 19, 2013. The announcement was later archived on May 19, 2013. Projects selected through the competition were expected to be awarded and funded during FY 2013 to FY 2014 and were required to be completed by January 31, 2015. Overall, the program was designed to accelerate on-the-ground climate adaptation in coastal areas by leveraging the Sea Grant network, requiring local and interagency partnerships, and supporting targeted projects of up to $100,000 that could be completed on a relatively short timeline.
The funding opportunity number for this announcement was NOAA-OAR-SG-2013-2003664. For applicant support, NOAA listed Dr. Joshua Brown at NOAA Sea Grant in Silver Spring, Maryland as the contact for inquiries, particularly for anyone who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically (telephone 301-734-1271).
