Fiscal Year 2008 Funding Announcements
CSCOR FY08 Regional Ecosystem Prediction Program
Applications are due no later than 3:00 PM (EST) on October 01, 2007 (for Great Lakes), October 15, 2007 (for Mid-Atlantic), and October 29, 2007 (for South Florida).
AGENCY: National Centers for Coastal Ocean Sciences/Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research (NCCOS/CSCOR), National Ocean Service (NOS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of Funding Availability for financial assistance for project grants and cooperative agreements.
Summary Description: NCCOS/CSCOR provides a focal point for regional ecosystem-scale competitive coastal ocean research within NOAA’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS). Together with partners within NOAA and other organizations responsible for coastal resources, NCCOS/CSCOR advances the scientific understanding needed to protect coastal resources and ensure their viability for future generations. By targeting critical regional ecosystem issues of the Great Lakes and coastal ocean and promoting interactive and predictive approaches, CSCOR aims to provide scientific knowledge that directly benefits management of U.S. coastal resources and helps NOAA, other federal agencies, and state, tribal, and local governments achieve their coastal stewardship responsibilities. The intent of the Regional Ecosystem Prediction Program is to consider a limited number of regions and issues each year but, through annual announcements and multi-year awards, maintain a portfolio of regional research with a high degree of diversity, both geographically and of issues addressed. In some cases there may also be announcements for issues that span multiple regions. This announcement solicits regional ecosystem proposals from the Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic and South Florida, briefly described below. See the full announcement for complete detail of the individual program elements.
Ecology and Oceanography of Harmful Algal Blooms (ECOHAB)
Closes October 4, 2007, 4:00 pm Eastern Standard Time
AGENCY: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Department of Commerce, Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research (CSCOR)/Coastal Ocean Program (COP); U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, National Center for Environmental Research, Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Program; National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA), Science Mission Directorate; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Department of Commerce, Office of Protected Resources
ACTION: Notice of Funding Availability for financial assistance for project grants and cooperative agreements.
Summary Description: NCCOS/CSCOR , through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, and interagency partners, the National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA), and the NOAA Office of Protected Resources are seeking applications proposing targeted research projects of up to 3 years duration and multi-disciplinary regional studies for 3 to 5 years duration for the Ecology and Oceanography of Harmful Algal Blooms (ECOHAB) program. This program provides support for research on algal species whose populations may cause or result in deleterious effects on ecosystems, coastal economies, and human health. Studies of the causes of such blooms, their detection, effects, mitigation, and control in U.S. coastal waters (including estuaries and Great Lakes) are solicited. This document details the requirements for applications for research support that will be considered by this Federal research partnership.
