About this program
The Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration operates Financial Assistance for National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (CFDA 11.426), which has not made grant awards since August 2014 and shows no current grant opportunities open for application.
Program activity has declined substantially. The portfolio contains 154 awards totaling $62.2 million in federal dollars obligated (plus $16.8 million in non-federal cost-share, for $79 million combined). Award frequency dropped from 12 grants in 2010 to single awards in both 2013 and 2014. The most recent open solicitation, posted in March 2012 with an April 2012 due date, sought cooperative agreements and project grants from NOAA Coral Reef Institute partners for approximately $645,000 total funding. No subsequent opportunities are documented in the source.
The program funds coral reef ecosystem monitoring, management-driven research, and associated scientific partnerships. Recent awards supported coral reef monitoring programs across U.S. territories and Pacific jurisdictions—Hawaii, Caribbean, American Samoa, Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico—as well as harmful algal bloom research and coastal ecosystem indicators. In 2012, the Hawaii Coral Reef Initiative received $539,901 for management-driven research; in 2009, the National Coral Reef Institute received $974,025 for coral reef research; and in 2010, monitoring programs across multiple Pacific locations received awards ranging from roughly $90,000 to $200,000 each.
The program portfolio is dominated by Cooperative Agreements (70 percent of awards) with smaller shares of Project Grants (30 percent). NOAA is the sole funding agency across all 154 awards. Non-federal cost-share contributions appear routine; recipients typically contribute roughly 21 percent of total project costs.
No recent grant opportunities or active solicitations are present in the source. Organizations pursuing coastal science funding through NCCOS should monitor Grants.gov and NOAA's grants management division for any reactivation or new solicitations, as the program has been inactive for over a decade.
