Opportunity Summary:
The Pennsylvania Sea Grant College Status opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NOAA OAR SG 2015 2004169) is a competitive federal funding solicitation from the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAAs Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) and the National Sea Grant College Program. Its purpose is to establish a new Sea Grant College for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania starting in fiscal year 2015. Sea Grant is a longstanding national partnership between the federal government and universities that supports coordinated research, education, and outreach tied to ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes issues, with an emphasis on practical benefits for communities, resource managers, and regional economies.
Applicants are expected to submit a four-year institutional plan describing how the proposed Pennsylvania Sea Grant College will operate as part of the broader National Sea Grant network. The plan should reflect the Sea Grant model of integrating research with education and extension-style outreach, and it should align with the Sea Grant mission of encouraging responsible use and conservation of the nation’s marine and Great Lakes resources. In practical terms, the proposal needs to demonstrate how the program will translate science into usable knowledge, support workforce and public education, and deliver community-facing technical assistance that contributes to both environmental sustainability and economic vitality.
Funding is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement under CFDA 11.417 (Sea Grant Support). The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient must provide non-federal matching funds consistent with Sea Grant rules and the full funding opportunity announcement. The listed award ceiling is $1,000,000, with no stated award floor, indicating potential variability in award size depending on the proposal, available funds, and NOAA program decisions.
Eligibility is limited and specifically defined by Sea Grant regulations (15 CFR parts 917 and 918). Proposals may be submitted only by institutions of higher education, or consortia of such institutions, that have held Sea Grant Institutional Program status for at least three years. This restriction is meant to ensure that applicants already have proven operational experience within the Sea Grant framework before seeking elevation to full Sea Grant College status for Pennsylvania.
Key dates for this archived opportunity show it was posted on August 25, 2014, with an application deadline of September 22, 2014, and an archive date of October 22, 2014. Prospective applicants were instructed to follow all requirements in the full announcement. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the contact listed was Jonathan Eigen at the NOAA National Sea Grant Office in Silver Spring, Maryland (telephone 301-734-1066).
