Opportunity Summary:
The Sea Grant NOAA Regional Team Collaboration Grants 2013 opportunity was a FY2013 discretionary funding competition run by the Department of Commerce through the NOAA National Sea Grant College Program, in coordination with NOAA's Office of Program Planning and Integration. The purpose of the program was to fund small, regionally coordinated projects that directly support the National Sea Grant College Program Strategic Plan (2009-2013), NOAA's Next Generation Strategic Plan, and/or the relevant regional research plan for a given NOAA region. In practice, this meant proposals needed to be clearly tied to NOAA and Sea Grant strategic priorities and demonstrate value at the regional scale rather than serving only a single state or local interest.
NOAA anticipated up to $240,000 total for the competition, with up to four awards expected. Each award could be as high as $60,000 (with no stated minimum award amount), and awards were to be made as cooperative agreements, reflecting NOAA's expectation of continued federal involvement during project implementation. Awards were competitive and dependent on both the availability of funds and the quality and number of applications received. A key structural constraint was that no more than one proposal would be funded per region, reinforcing the intent to promote coordinated regional collaboration rather than multiple separate efforts within the same region.
Eligibility was intentionally narrow. Only Sea Grant institutions were eligible to apply, and funded projects had to be jointly endorsed and jointly funded by both the NOAA Regional Collaboration Team and the Sea Grant programs in the region. While a wide range of partners could participate (including other federal agencies, state entities, tribal governments, Native Hawaiian and other indigenous community organizations, academic institutions, nonprofits, and NGOs), the leadership roles were restricted: the project Principal Investigator and co-Principal Investigator had to be a NOAA federal employee and a Sea Grant Program employee, ensuring that each funded project had formal leadership from both NOAA and Sea Grant.
A major requirement was regional cost participation through the NOAA Regional Collaboration Team. For any region receiving an award, the NOAA Regional Collaboration Team was required to contribute an amount equal to the grant either in direct funds or in-kind contributions. Even though the posting lists "CostSharingOrMatchingRequirement: No," the program design effectively required a parallel commitment from the regional NOAA collaboration structure as a condition of receiving the award. The announcement also noted that additional high-quality proposals from this competition could be considered for funding in the next fiscal year if funds became available, suggesting NOAA intended to keep strong regional proposals in the pipeline beyond FY2013.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted March 8, 2013, and closed May 17, 2013 (with an archive date of June 16, 2013). The funding opportunity number was NOAA-OAR-SG-2013-2003665, associated with CFDA 11.417 (Sea Grant Support). The activity area was categorized under environment, science and technology, and other research and development. For applicants unable to access the full announcement electronically, the listed contact was Chris Hayes at NOAA Sea Grant in Silver Spring, Maryland.
