Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA NOS OCM 2023 2007487
The FY23-24 CRCP State and Territorial Coral Reef Conservation Cooperative Agreements opportunity is a NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) funding program run under the Coral Reef Conservation Act of 2000. Its purpose is to provide matching financial assistance to the lead, governor-appointed coral reef management agencies in seven U.S. jurisdictions: American Samoa, Florida, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. These agencies are treated as the primary points of contact for coral reef conservation in their jurisdictions, and the funding is meant to strengthen their ability to manage, monitor, and improve coral reef ecosystem conditions.
Awards are issued as cooperative agreements rather than standard grants, which matters because NOAA expects to be actively involved. In practice, this structure is designed to support close coordination between NOAA and the recipient during planning and implementation, helping align the jurisdiction's activities with CRCP priorities and ensuring federal expertise is integrated into on-the-ground reef management work. The overall goal is to fund coral reef management and monitoring programs and specific conservation projects that measurably improve the health and resilience of coral reef ecosystems in these locations.
Funding is discretionary and depends on Congressional appropriations. For FY 2023, NOAA anticipated total program funding in the range of about $4 million to $5 million. Individual applicants were expected to request roughly $500,000 to $900,000 per year, with the exact level tied to the applicant agency's existing capacity to carry out the proposed work. The typical award was expected to average about $600,000 annually, and the published award ceiling for the opportunity is $1.8 million. NOAA anticipated making about five awards. Continued support into FY 2023 and beyond is not automatic; it is contingent on future funding availability, the recipient's ability to properly administer NOAA-provided federal funds, and performance during the first year of the award as well as performance under any prior awards.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed under the Department of Commerce, with the funding opportunity number NOAA NOS OCM 2023 2007487 and CFDA (now Assistance Listing) number 11.482. The activity areas span environment, natural resources, and science and technology/research and development (and is also tagged under business and commerce). The opportunity was created on August 10, 2022, with an original closing date of February 15, 2023. Eligibility is limited in practice to the designated state, territorial, or commonwealth resource management agencies referenced in the announcement, rather than open competition across nonprofits or universities, since it is explicitly structured around the officially appointed lead agencies for coral reef conservation in each named jurisdiction.Apply for NOAA NOS OCM 2023 2007487
