Opportunity Summary:
The Sea Grant NOAA Regional Team Collaboration Grants 2012 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NOAA-OAR-SG-2012-2003367) was a FY2012 discretionary funding competition run by the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAA. The purpose was to fund small, region-focused projects that strengthen collaboration between NOAA Regional Teams and the National Sea Grant College Program, while directly supporting the National Sea Grant College Program Strategic Plan for 2009 to 2013 and aligning with NOAA's FY2012 Annual Guidance Memorandum. In practice, the program was designed to encourage coordinated, on-the-ground work within each NOAA region rather than isolated efforts, so proposals needed to clearly show how the project would advance shared regional priorities and produce practical outcomes tied to Sea Grant and NOAA goals in education, environment, natural resources, science and technology, and research and development.
Funding was limited but targeted. NOAA anticipated up to $200,000 total available across the entire competition, with individual project requests capped at $25,000. The expected number of awards was up to eight, essentially one per NOAA region, and awards were to be made through a competitive process dependent on both the availability of funds and the quality and quantity of proposals received. The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which generally signals more active involvement by the federal partner than a standard grant and fits the intent of building sustained NOAA-Sea Grant collaboration.
Eligibility was narrow and structured to ensure true joint ownership between NOAA and Sea Grant leadership. Only NOAA entities or Sea Grant institutions could apply, and each project had to be co-led by a NOAA federal employee and a Sea Grant Program employee serving as the project PI and co-PI. Other organizations, including other federal agencies, state governments, tribal entities, Native Hawaiian and other Indigenous communities, academic institutions, and nonprofit or nongovernmental organizations, could participate as partners, but they could not replace the required NOAA and Sea Grant leadership roles. The program also allowed project budgets to include components that supported work by non-federal entities and components that supported work by NOAA employees, as long as the combined total did not exceed the $25,000 ceiling.
A key compliance requirement was formal regional endorsement. Applications were only considered eligible if they included a co-signed letter of endorsement from the Regional NOAA Team Lead and the Sea Grant Director liaison to the NOAA Regional Teams (a liaison selected among Sea Grant Directors in that region). This endorsement requirement functioned as a gatekeeper to ensure that proposals were genuinely aligned with regional strategies and had buy-in from both sides of the intended partnership. The solicitation referenced online resources listing the Regional Teams, Team Leads, and Sea Grant liaisons to help applicants identify the correct signatories and points of contact.
There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowered barriers for participation and kept the emphasis on regional coordination rather than leverage ratios. The opportunity was posted May 1, 2012, and closed June 4, 2012, with an archive date of July 4, 2012. The CFDA listing associated with the program was 11.417 (Sea Grant Support). For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the notice directed them to contact Steve Drescher, Policy Advisor, specifically for application download issues.
