Fiscal Year 2011 Implementation of the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS): On behalf of the National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP), NOAA and its partner agencies--the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Office of Naval Research (ONR), and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)--are requesting proposals for coordinated regional efforts that further the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS). In addition, the agencies have identified several related topic areas for which they are requesting proposals, to include verification and validation of observing technologies for studying and monitoring coastal and ocean environments; improved and routine production, stewardship, and coastal application of the Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) data; and study of marine animal interactions with offshore renewable energy devices. Applicants are invited to submit proposals for one or more of these topic areas, which are described in detail in the FFO announcement. It is recommended that applicants to multiple topic areas submit a separate application for each, and that each application list other topic areas for which the applicant is making a submission. For single topic proposals or if multiple topics are included in a single proposal, ensure that the topic areas are clearly identified and that all required information is presented such that merit reviewers can associate proposal elements (project description, partners, budgets) with specific topic areas. Multiple awards are anticipated, subject to the availability of funds, in amounts ranging from $200,000 to $4,000,000 per year for up to five years.

Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
Additional Information on Eligibility: Eligible funding applicants for this competition are institutions of higher education, non-profit and for-profit organizations, and state, local and Indian tribal governments. Federal agencies or institutions and foreign governments are not allowed to be the primary recipient of awards under this announcement, but are encouraged to partner with applicants when appropriate. If requesting funds under this award, federal partners must identify the relevant statutory authorities that will allow for the receipt of funds. For all NOPP-funded activities, team efforts are required among at least two of the following three sectors: Academia, industry (including Non- Governmental Organizations or NGOs), and government (including State and Local). If applicants have partners who would receive funds, the lead grantee will be expected to provide funds using subcontracts or other appropriate mechanisms to the project partners. If a Federal partner is a NOAA office, the funds will be transferred internally. If the partner is a Federal agency other than NOAA, the grantee and the Federal partner must use interagency agreements or otherwise take steps relevant to their organizations to ensure that funds can be transferred by the primary grantee and received by the Federal partner. Before non- NOAA applicants may be funded, they must demonstrate that they have legal authority to accept funds in excess of their appropriation. Because of the nature of this competition, the Economy Act (31 U.S.C. 1535) is not an appropriate authority. Applicants should note that federal agencies are generally barred from accepting funds from a recipient to pay transportation, travel, or other expenses for any employee unless specifically approved in the terms of the award. A Special Award Condition will be required if invitational travel for employees is included in a proposal.
