Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit Broad Agency Announcement: The purpose of this notice is to request applications for special projects and programs associated with NOAA's mission goals. This notice provides the general public with information and guidelines on how NOAA will select proposals and administer discretionary Federal assistance under this CESU Broad Agency Announcement (CESU BAA). This CESU BAA is a mechanism to encourage research, education and outreach, innovative projects, or sponsorships that are not addressed through our competitive discretionary programs. It is not a mechanism for awarding Congressionally directed funds or existing funded awards. Funding for potential projects in this notice is contingent upon the availability of Fiscal Year 2019 and Fiscal Year 2020 appropriations. Applicants are hereby given notice that funds have not yet been appropriated for any potential activities in this notice. Publication of this announcement does not oblige NOAA to review an application, or to award any specific project, or to obligate any available funds. NOTE: The CESU-specific BAA has more stringent requirements than the NOAA-wide BAA. Only members of the named CESU are eligible to apply. The award mechanism is limited to Cooperative Agreements only. Proposals submitted under this opportunity must be consistent with NOAA's mission and the intent of the National CESU program that is implemented across Federal Bureaus and agencies.
