Opportunity Information: Apply for M19AS00017
The BOEM FY 2019 Environmental Studies Program opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number M19AS00017) is a discretionary, single-source cooperative agreement offered by the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM). It is specifically designed as the mechanism for the University of Alaska, Fairbanks (UAF) to submit a proposal for BOEM funding in Fiscal Year 2019, rather than a broadly competed call open to many institutions. The overall purpose is to support ecosystem research that advances the public interest in safe, environmentally responsible energy development on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), while also strengthening the science base used to understand and protect marine resources.
A key legal foundation for the award is Section 1345 of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), which authorizes BOEM to use cooperative agreements with affected states to meet OCSLA requirements. In practical terms, that authority is used to encourage shared information, joint use of specialized expertise, and coordinated monitoring arrangements that help implement relevant federal and state laws, regulations, and operating stipulations connected to OCS activities, both offshore and onshore. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement (not a standard grant), BOEM anticipates substantial federal involvement, meaning BOEM scientists are expected to play an active role in aspects of study development and/or the conduct of the research.
BOEMs stated intent for this particular announcement is a focused, applied study that delivers clear public benefit. The agency emphasizes research that helps translate ocean science into problem-solving tools that can inform management decisions, improve protection of natural resources, and support educational opportunities in the ocean sciences. A notable element of the public-benefit framing is the explicit connection to subsistence lifestyles: the work is expected to contribute to the protection of natural resources that are important to subsistence users in the Alaskan Arctic.
The specific project identified in the announcement is: “Model-based fish distributions and habitat descriptions for Arctic cod, saffron cod and snow crab in the Alaskan Arctic.” In other words, the work is aimed at developing or applying modeling approaches to describe where these species are likely to occur and what habitat conditions they use, which can be essential for environmental assessments, impact analyses, and planning related to offshore energy activities. The opportunity is open only to UAF through the North and West Alaska Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (NWA-CESU), reflecting the single-source nature of the award and the cooperative framework BOEM intends to use.
Funding is anticipated at a total of $125,000, with the project planned as a two-year effort. Approximately $75,000 is expected to be allocated in FY 2019 and about $50,000 in FY 2020. The announcement also includes a standard reserve fund requirement: the funds requested for the final year of performance (FY 2020) must be at least 15 percent of the total anticipated budget request. Although the project is described as multi-year, BOEM requires that the proposal clearly spell out the work to be completed in the first year, second year, and any additional years if applicable, and BOEM reserves the right to fund only the first year. Continued funding into subsequent years is not guaranteed; it depends on the availability of federal funds and on satisfactory progress demonstrated by the recipient.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized under environmental activities (CFDA 15.423) and lists eligible applicants as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, consistent with UAF being the intended applicant. The expected number of awards is one, with an award ceiling of $125,000. The announcement was created May 1, 2019, with an original closing date of June 17, 2019, underscoring that it was time-bound and tailored to a specific fiscal-year funding decision.Apply for M19AS00017
