DOC NOAA - ERA Production
The Ocean Exploration Fiscal Year 2025 Funding Opportunity, posted by DOC NOAA - ERA Production, is a grant opportunity for U.S.-based institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations, U.S. state, tribal, territory, and local governments, for-profit organizations, and federal agencies. The grant aims to support ocean exploration-related projects under two themes: Ocean Exploration and Maritime Heritage. Under the Ocean Exploration theme, the grant seeks proposals that explore unknown or poorly known ocean areas, processes, or resources in waters deeper than 200 meters or in tropical mesophotic environments. Projects can involve mapping and characterizing ocean habitats, advancing ocean exploration through the use or development of novel technologies, and analyzing existing ocean exploration datasets or samples. The focus is on improving our understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological environments and processes in the deep oceanic water column and enhancing genetic libraries for species-level environmental DNA analysis. Under the Maritime Heritage theme, the grant encourages proposals that explore significant maritime heritage resources to enhance our understanding of the past and inform decisions about management and preservation. Projects can be conducted at any water depth and may involve conflict archaeology, incorporation of Indigenous knowledge, or wide-area searches in poorly mapped maritime heritage areas. The use of innovative technology and methods for quantitative assessment of targets is also welcomed. Applicants must complete and maintain registrations with SAM.gov, Grants.gov, and eRA Commons to be eligible for the grant. The registration process can take 4 to 6 weeks, so it is advised to start early. The deadline for pre-proposals is May 30, 2024, and the deadline for full proposals is October 3, 2024. The award ceiling is $1,000,000, and the award floor is $50,000. For more information and inquiries, contact NOAA Ocean Exploration at (202) 603-6844 or oer.nofo2025@noaa.gov.
