Opportunity Summary:
The Sea Grant NOAA Regional Team Collaboration Grants (Funding Opportunity Number NOAA-OAR-SG-2011-2002938) was a FY2011 discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAA, specifically the NOAA National Sea Grant College Program and the Office of Program Planning and Integration. It was structured as a cooperative agreement and aimed to fund small, targeted projects that strengthen collaboration between NOAA Regional Teams and Sea Grant programs within each NOAA region. The program anticipated a total of up to $240,000 in available funding, with an expectation of up to eight awards total, effectively one award per NOAA region, depending on the availability of funds and the results of a competitive review process.
The central purpose of the grants was to support projects aligned with NOAA priorities laid out in the FY2011 Annual Guidance Memorandum. Projects needed to advance one or more of the following focus areas: climate adaptation; sustainable seafood; coastal and marine spatial planning; Arctic research and management; Gulf of Mexico restoration; and ecosystem-based management. In practice, this meant proposals were expected to be strongly tied to real-world regional needs and NOAA mission outcomes, rather than purely academic research. The emphasis on "regional collaboration" signaled that successful projects would likely demonstrate coordination across offices and programs and show how the work would be used or applied within a NOAA regional context.
Funding per project was capped at $30,000 (the award ceiling), and applicants were instructed that requests could not exceed that amount. Importantly, the opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds. The notice also clarified that funding could be split between NOAA and non-federal components within a single award, but the combined total across those components still could not exceed $30,000. This structure reflected the cooperative nature of the program and allowed projects to include external expertise while keeping NOAA and Sea Grant in central leadership roles.
Eligibility was narrow and specific. Only NOAA entities or Sea Grant institutions were eligible to apply, and awards were limited to proposals that were jointly endorsed by both the NOAA Regional Teams and the Sea Grant programs in the region. While many kinds of partners could participate, including other federal agencies, state governments, tribal governments, Native Hawaiian and other Indigenous communities, universities, nonprofits, and nongovernmental organizations, the leadership requirements were strict: the project Principal Investigator (PI) and co-PI had to include a NOAA federal employee and a Sea Grant program employee. This requirement ensured that projects were co-led across NOAA and Sea Grant, reinforcing the goal of practical, regionally coordinated work rather than standalone efforts led entirely outside NOAA/Sea Grant.
The opportunity was posted on May 11, 2011, with a closing deadline of June 3, 2011, and it was later archived on July 3, 2011. The CFDA listing associated with the program was 11.417 (Sea Grant Support). Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement for complete application instructions, and a point of contact was provided (Steve Drescher, Policy Advisor) for assistance accessing the announcement and resolving application download issues.
