The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is inviting proposals for innovative projects through its Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for fiscal years 2024-2026. This funding opportunity aims to support research, education, outreach, and sponsorships that align with NOAA's strategic mission, particularly focusing on marine ecosystems, climate adaptation, and weather readiness. Eligible applicants include institutions of higher education, nonprofits, and various levels of government, with funding contingent upon appropriations and no specific grants allocated yet. Proposals must be submitted electronically via Grants.gov by September 30, 2026, and will be evaluated based on their alignment with NOAA’s goals, scientific merit, budget feasibility, and outreach effectiveness. For further inquiries, applicants can contact the relevant NOAA Line Offices as detailed in the announcement.
Eligible Applicants
Eligible applicants may be institutions of higher education, nonprofits, commercial organizations, international or foreign organizations or governments, individuals, state, local, and Indian Tribal governments. Eligibility also depends on the statutory authority that permits NOAA to fund the proposed activity. Funding of Federal organizations is outside the scope of this announcement; if funding authority exists, Federal organizations seeking NOAA funds should contact relevant program officials about the interagency agreement process.
