About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is seeking a cooperative agreement with eligible state governments and public higher education institutions to support the Alaska Coastal Marine Institute (Alaska CMI) administrative functions. The primary objective is to facilitate environmental research that can inform resource management decisions concerning offshore energy development in Alaska. Key contract requirements include coordinating program funding cycles, serving as a liaison between research faculty and BOEM, monitoring study expenditures, and ensuring timely completion and dissemination of research results. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, the opportunity emphasizes scientific integrity, comprehensive reporting, and research focusing on marine ecosystem functions, climate change impacts, marine species migration, and vessel traffic effects on marine life. The proposal must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov by 11:59 PM ET on July 29, 2025, with a project start date of August 21, 2025.
The grant opportunity provides $67,000 in funding, with a required 1:1 non-federal cost share, and the project period is set from August 21, 2025, to September 21, 2026. The award will be structured as a cooperative agreement, indicating substantial BOEM involvement in study design, data collection, analysis, and publication development. Performance will be centered at the University of Alaska, with research primarily focused on marine environments in Alaska, including regions like the Beaufort Sea, Chukchi Sea, and Cook Inlet. Deliverables include quarterly progress reports, annual programmatic reports, draft and final research reports, and various data submissions adhering to specific digital and geospatial standards.
Synopsis
The purpose of this award is to facilitate environmental research that can be undertaken by the University of Alaska Coastal Marine Institute (Alaska CMI), in concert with entities representing the State of Alaska, for the purposes of gathering scientific information that can be applied to resource management decisions that must be made by the State and local governments concerning development of offshore energy resources. The relationship between the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and the Alaska CMI is long standing with several active scientific studies in progress; this funding will also help provide the formatting, Section 508 Compliance and remaining administrative functions required to bring these studies to completion.
