Synopsis
This Broad Agency Announcement is a mechanism to encourage research, education, outreach, innovative projects, or sponsorships that are not addressed through NOAA’s competitive discretionary programs. This announcement is not soliciting goods or services for the direct benefit of NOAA. Funding for activities described in this notice is contingent upon the availability of appropriations in the fiscal years applicable to the application. Applicants are hereby given notice that funds have not yet been appropriated for any activities described in this notice. Publication of this announcement does not oblige NOAA to review an application beyond an initial administrative review, or to award any specific project, or to obligate any available funds.
CESU projects fund applied environmental and cultural resource research, technical assistance, and education to support effective stewardship and decision-making for public lands and trust resources.
Who can apply
- Small businesses
- Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized)
- Public and State controlled institutions of higher education
- Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education
- County governments
- City or township governments
- State governments
- Private institutions of higher education
- For profit organizations other than small businesses
- Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
Eligible applicants may be institutions of higher education, nonprofits, commercial organizations, international or foreign organizations or governments, individuals, state, local, and Indian Tribal governments. Eligibility also depends on the statutory authority that permits NOAA to fund the proposed activity. Funding of Federal organizations is outside the scope of this announcement; if funding authority exists, Federal organizations seeking NOAA funds should contact relevant program officials about the interagency agreement process. For CESU projects: the ONLY eligible applicants are non-federal partner institutions of the following CESU regional programs: California, Chesapeake Watershed, Great Lakes Northern Forests, Great Plains, Gulf Coast, Hawaii & Pacific Islands, North and West Alaska, North Atlantic Coast, Pacific Northwest, Piedmont & South Atlantic Coast, and South Florida & Caribbean.
