About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is seeking proposals for the "Building Coastal Resilience on the Upper Texas Coast: Sediment Resource Characterization and Decision Support for Multiple-Use Scenarios and Management" grant opportunity. BOEM is responsible for managing energy and mineral resources on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) and is focused on promoting economic development and energy independence while ensuring environmental protection. The grant aims to support the continued development and implementation of a robust sediment resource management strategy through the advancement of both resource evaluation and environmental considerations for the Upper Texas Coast. State governments are eligible to apply, and the grant will be awarded through a cooperative agreement. Applications are due by August 15, 2024, and will be reviewed by BOEM scientists and program managers.
The total estimated funding for this opportunity is $1,000,000, with a maximum award amount of $500,000 and a minimum of $500,000.

Synopsis
The Department of the Interior's (DOI) Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is responsible for managing energy and mineral resources on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). BOEM's mission is to promote economic development and energy independence while ensuring protection of the environment. The Marine Minerals Program (MMP) within BOEM provides negotiated agreements for OCS sediment resources used in coastal restoration efforts. The MMP continues to look for better ways to serve the American people and to ensure that the nation receives the best value for its resources now and into the future. The Program provides information to support decision-making not only within the Department of the Interior, but also to coastal states and local governments to ensure the responsible use of OCS resources for coastal restoration activities.The Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) Section 1346 mandates environmental and socioeconomic studies be conducted that are needed for the assessment and management of environmental impacts on the human, marine, and coastal environments which may be affected by offshore energy or other mineral development. The Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), Section 1331 encourages state participation in policy and planning decisions related to OCS resources, including sand and gravel. OCSLA Section 1345 authorizes the use of cooperative agreements with affected States to meet the requirements of OCSLA, including sharing of information, joint utilization of available expertise, formation of joint monitoring arrangements to carry out applicable Federal and State laws, regulations, and stipulations relevant to outer continental shelf operations both onshore and offshore.Cooperative partnerships with states, through either a state agency or institution of higher learning, to conduct marine minerals investigations have successfully been completed since 1994
