The NOAA programs listed below support grant programs that may provide funding for coral reef conservation activities.
NOAA's Marine Debris Program (MDP) The MDP provides funding to catalyze the implementation of locally driven, community-based marine debris prevention and removal projects that will benefit coastal habitat, waterways, and NOAA trust resources. Proposals undergo a competitive review, and projects are selected based on their technical merit, level of community involvement, ecological benefits to marine and anadromous fish habitat, and coast-effectiveness. During open announcements, applications are directed to the NOAA Restoration Center through Grants.gov.
National Centers For Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) NCCOS's Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research/ Coastal Ocean Program funds competitively peer-reviewed research focused on providing scientific information to assist decision makers in meeting the challenges of managing coastal resources. The program targets critical issues in U.S. estuaries, coastal waters, and the Great Lakes.
NOAA's Community-based Restoration Program (CRP) The objective of NOAA's Community-based Restoration Program is to bring together citizen groups, corporations and businesses, youth conservation corps, students, landowners, and local government, state and Federal agencies to restore fishery habitat around the coastal U.S.A. The CRP funds projects directly and through partnerships with national and regional organizations.

NOAA National Undersea Research Program Most of the NOAA Undersea Research Program's (NURP) research funding is awarded through the NURP Centers. Each center advertises research announcements based on research guidelines provided by NURP headquarters. A peer review process is conducted to select projects for funding.

These funds are available in the form of competitive grants and cooperative agreements. The Coastal Services Center also provides resources and tips for successful grant writing.
