About this opportunity

This federal grant opportunity from NOAA seeks applications from existing Sea Grant programs to support innovative disaster preparedness projects for coastal communities. Eligible applicants may apply for awards between $160,000 and $200,000 to address a preparedness gap or vulnerability and enable faster recovery from disasters. Applications will be evaluated based on importance/relevance, technical merit, qualifications, budget, and outreach and are due by March 13, 2024 for projects starting between September 1, 2024 and December 1, 2024.

The total available funding is approximately $600,000 to be awarded across multiple grants. Funded projects must comply with NOAA requirements including conducting environmental reviews, sharing data, and maintaining scientific integrity. Awards are issued under the Sea Grant Support program and are intended to establish and operate marine research and advisory centers through major universities.

Synopsis

This opportunity is only open to existing institutional Sea Grant programs.

The National Sea Grant College Program was enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1966 (amended in 2020, Public Law 116-221) to support leveraged federal and state partnerships that harness the intellectual capacity of the nation's universities and research institutions to solve problems and generate opportunities in coastal communities.

The National Sea Grant Office (NSGO) anticipates that approximately $600,000 in FY 2024 federal funds will be available to individual Sea Grant programs in order to support innovative all-hazard preparedness, response, and recovery initiatives for coastal communities.

Applications to this opportunity should propose projects that do the following:

  • Address a disaster preparedness gap or need of an underserved or vulnerable coastal community;
  • Enable coastal communities to reduce disaster impacts and reach recovery more quickly; and
  • Feature innovative techniques, ideas, or solutions.

This document sets out requirements for submitting to NOAA-OAR-SG-2024-24113.
