The purpose of this document is to advise the public that NOAA/NOS/NCCOS is soliciting proposals for the NOAA RESTORE Science Program for projects of 12 months in duration. This announcement invites proposals that request funding to scope and design a research project that informs a specific Gulf of Mexico natural resource management decision. Funding is contingent upon the availability of funds in the Gulf Coast Restoration Trust Fund.

The NOAA Marine Debris Program (MDP), authorized in the Marine Debris Act (33 U.S.C. 1951-1958), provides funding to support eligible organizations to conduct research directly related to marine debris through field, laboratory, and modeling experiments.

THE STORY BEHIND THE FUND

The Foundation is seeking a consultant to identify the priorities and goals of stakeholders engaged in the sustainable management of US fisheries. The consultant will:

The Pacific Marine and Estuarine Fish Habitat Partnership (PMEP) requests proposals for projects that will advance fish habitat conservation and restoration along the West Coast. PMEP is seeking project proposals that restore nursery habitats for PMEP focal species within smaller estuarine systems (with an emphasis on habitat connectivity) or proposals that increase our understanding of fish habitats in estuarine and nearshore waters. All projects must show financial match and broad-based support for the work, though no specific match amounts are required.

Wave of Change and the Iberostar Foundation are pleased to announce four new scholarships for spurring work towards Rebuilding Coral Reefs at a maximum of $5,000 each for a total of $20,000. The categories for the four individual scholarships offered are:

1. Techniques for achieving coastal protection, increased fish biomass or enhanced biodiversity in reef restoration

2. Work on reef restoration conducted in Latin America (Mesoamerican Reef or Caribbean Basin)

Over the last 30 years, the world has lost half of its coral reefs: battered by over-fishing, pollution, and unsustainable coastal development, coral reefs are now at the frontline of climate change. These reefs, which only cover 0.2% of ocean surface, host 30% of marine biodiversity.

Economic development and human progress have led to a proliferation of manufactured chemicals and materials made from limited resources found in nature(i.e., minerals and metals,petroleum-based productsand natural gas). Long-term sustainability requires consideration of the availability of specific natural resources, energy, and water usage. NSF continues to support efforts that seek to improve the efficiency with which natural resources are used to meet human needs for products and services.

This Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) seeks opportunities to co-create, co-design, co-invest, and collaborate in the research, development, piloting, and scaling of innovative interventions for effectively mitigating air, water, and soil pollution, including ocean plastic pollution, electronic and other forms of solid waste in low and middle-income countries (LMICs).

In light of the challenging times facing the nation, the NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research has decided to extend the FY21 Federal Funding Opportunity pre-proposal deadline to 11:59 pm EDT on July 8, 2020 to allow the broadest participation in the funding opportunity. While the fall deadline for full submissions remains 11:59 pm EDT on October 22, 2020 for now, we will re-evaluate the appropriateness of this deadline later.

This Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) encourages the submission of proposals that tackle some of the fundamental scientific questions underlying micro- and nanoplastic characterization, behavior, and reactivity in the environment (including animal and human health), as well as their elimination from land and water systems.

CCBO’s grants program is designed to identify and implement locally-led, sustainable solutions and approaches that support the program’s objectives and combat ocean plastics pollution directly at the source.

NERC and the United States National Science Foundation (NSF) have agreed to work together to make it easier for world-leading environmental scientists to collaborate on discovery science projects and to tackle global environmental challenges.

The BoatU.S. Foundation is dedicated to being an innovative leader in promoting safe, clean, and responsible boating.

The Foundation's Grassroots Grants Program provides support to nonprofit organizations for projects that promote safe and clean boating.

Projects that the Foundation is most interested in funding will include several of the following elements:

The Rapid Ocean Conservation (ROC) Grants Program is a project of the Waitt Foundation. ROC Grants provide small grants with a quick turnaround time for solutions to emerging conservation issues. This complements the Waitt Foundation’s existing major grants program and is responsive to conservation opportunities, supports higher-risk ideas at a low financial cost, and engages with small, local NGOs on a global scale.
