Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA NOS OCM 2025 28920
NOAA’s Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) is seeking applications to establish two Reef Research Coordination Institutes (RRCIs) to support research, restoration, and management of U.S. coral reef ecosystems. One institute will focus on the Atlantic region, while the other will cover the Pacific. These institutes will receive five-year cooperative agreements, which may be renewed for another five years.
Only organizations previously designated as Coral Reef Research Centers in 2024 are eligible to apply. Organizations must demonstrate the ability to conduct research, support ecological monitoring, assist jurisdictional management agencies, translate findings into restoration practices, and conduct public education initiatives. They may also support personnel, provide training, and manage a national fellowship program.
Up to $4.5 million per year may be available for both institutes, depending on NOAA’s budget, national priorities, project quality, and performance. Applicants must register with SAM.gov, Grants.gov, and eRA Commons before submitting a proposal—a process that can take 4-6 weeks.
Each RRCI must be based in a specific region: the Pacific RRCI in American Samoa, Guam, or Hawaii, and the Atlantic RRCI in Florida, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands. Only one institute per region will be awarded funding. Consortia of research centers may apply, but the lead applicant will be responsible for administration.
Federal agencies and employees are ineligible to receive direct funding but may collaborate on projects. NOAA staff cannot help write proposals but may provide general program information. The program encourages cultural and gender diversity in applications.Apply for NOAA NOS OCM 2025 28920
