Grants Information

A new electronic grant applications program has been launched for the Federal Government. NOAA is proud to announce its partnership with Grants.gov and we want you and your organization to learn more about Grants.gov so that you can electronically Find, Apply, and Succeed!

Effective immediately, NOAA strongly recommends that your organization begin the process of registering with Grants.gov. You only have to register one time! Read how! (Also available in PDF)

Please note that all of CSCOR/COP's grant related functions will be fully transferred to electronic format for processing upon the completion of NOAA's Grants Online System, and many of the forms and instructions found on this site will no longer be applicable.

This website contains the necessary instructions and forms for preparation of an application package for a CSCOR/Coastal Ocean Program (COP) proposal submission. The information package provided here is taken from the current standard NOAA Grants & Cooperative Agreement Application Package released by the NOAA Grants Management Division.

Please note that it is unlawful to use Federal financial assistance awards for any activities or contacts to influence legislation pending before Congress or the negotiation, award or administration of a pending award. In particular, such awards may not be used for activities which involve direct contact with legislators or indirect contact with legislators through "grassroots" (advising constituents to contact their legislators) lobbying. The application package has information regarding standard conditions which prohibit lobbying, including certification by applicants that the awards will not be used for lobbying.

The most current general Federal Register Notice for CSCOR/COP and links to the Announcement of Funding Opportunity prepared by CSCOR/COP that outline specific requirement and criteria are included on the web site below. Please read the Notice and Announcements carefully. www.grants.gov.
