2010 Sea Grant/Regional Team Climate Engagement

For FY2010, the NOAA National Sea Grant College Program and Office of Program Planning and Integration anticipate making available up to $200K to support projects that advance priority climate engagement strategies throughout NOAA. The climate engagement mini-grants will be awarded only to proposals endorsed jointly by the NOAA Regional Collaboration Team Lead and the Sea Grant Liaison to the NOAAA Regional Collaboration Team (selected among the Sea Grant Directors program in the region). Awards will be made as inter-office transfers to NOAA entities and cooperative agreements to non-Federal entities, or a combination of inter-office transfers and cooperative agreements for projects that support both NOAA and non-Federal entities. Although other federal, state, tribal, Native Hawaiian, other native cultures, academic and non-profit or non-governmental organizations can act as partners, the project principal investigator of the grant must be a NOAA Federal employee or a Sea Grant employee. Requests for individual projects may not exceed $25K. Up to eight mini-grants of up to $25K are expected to be awarded through a competitive process, subject to availability of funds.
