Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA NOS NCCOS 2019 2005608
The NOAA RESTORE Science Program grant opportunity is a competitive federal funding announcement from the Department of Commerce through NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) and the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS). It supports multi-year research projects focused on the Gulf of Mexico, specifically studies that can identify, track, explain, and/or forecast changes in living coastal and marine resources and the environmental and ecological processes that drive those changes. In practical terms, NOAA is looking for strong, science-based proposals that improve understanding of how Gulf ecosystems are changing over time, why those changes are happening, and how to anticipate future conditions in ways that can inform restoration and resource management.
Awards are structured as cooperative agreements, meaning NOAA expects a higher level of federal involvement than a typical grant (for example, coordination, shared planning, or collaboration on products and deliverables). Projects are designed to run for five years, and the program includes the possibility of an additional five-year, non-competitive renewal for projects that perform well, effectively creating a potential ten-year research runway for teams that demonstrate strong progress and impact. Importantly, all funding is contingent on the availability of money from the Gulf Coast Restoration Trust Fund, so final award decisions depend on those funds being accessible.
The overall funding level for the competition is about $15 million across the initial five-year period, with NOAA anticipating funding roughly four to six projects (the announcement language indicates approximately six, while the metadata lists an expected four awards). Individual project budgets can vary widely: the minimum award is about $500,000 total over five years (about $100,000 per year on average), and the maximum is about $7.5 million total over five years (about $1.5 million per year on average). NOAA also indicates that an additional $15 million may be available specifically to support five-year renewal awards for high-performing projects, which signals an interest in sustaining long-term monitoring, modeling, and other time-series science efforts that gain value over longer horizons.
Key administrative details include the opportunity number NOAA NOS NCCOS 2019 2005608 and CFDA 11.451. The activity areas are broadly categorized under environment, natural resources, science and technology, and other research and development. The eligibility category is listed as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full notice, so applicants would need to check the detailed eligibility language in the official posting to confirm whether their institution type qualifies and whether there are any limitations or partnership expectations.
For timelines, the notice anticipated final funding recommendations in June 2019 and project start dates around September 1, 2019. Applications were to be submitted electronically via Grants.gov, and NOAA provided additional program context and resources through the RESTORE Science Program website at restoreactscienceprogram.noaa.gov.Apply for NOAA NOS NCCOS 2019 2005608
