NOAA Regional Ocean Partnership Funding Program - FY2012 Funding Competition: The purpose of this document is to advise eligible regional ocean partnerships, tribal governments and state, local, and territory governments, institutions of higher learning, and non-profit and for-profit organizations (requirements described in full announcement) that NOAA is soliciting proposals for competitive funding for Regional Ocean Partnerships that include National Ocean Policy (NOP) priorities including regional Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning (CMSP) efforts. The Regional Ocean Partnership Funding Program (ROPFP) will support two categories of activities: 1) Activities that contribute to achieving the priorities identified by Regional Ocean Partnerships (ROPs) while also advancing NOP priorities including the national CMSP Framework; and 2) ROP Development and Governance Support for operations and administration of existing ROPs, and for start-up costs of those regions beginning ROPs. Eligible entities must submit to NOAA full proposals on or before April 2, 2012 in order to participate in this Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 funding opportunity. Total anticipated funding is approximately $3,000,000 and is subject to the availability of FY 2012 appropriations. Additional funds from NOAA or other Federal agencies may be used for FY 2012 or multi-year awards from this competition. The start date on proposals should be October 1, 2012. Statutory authority for this program is provided under Coastal Zone Management Act, 16 U.S.C. 1456c (Technical Assistance).
