Opportunity Information: Apply for M19AS00008
The BOEM FY 2019 Environmental Studies Program opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number M19AS00008) is a discretionary, 4-year cooperative agreement offered by the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), through its Office of Strategic Resources (OSR). The core purpose is to modernize and improve BOEMs Pacific Region Geological and Geophysical (G and G) dataset, which currently includes a broad mix of paper records and electronic files gathered from many different sources and stored in inconsistent, incompatible formats. The work is aimed at making these data more usable, organized, and reliable so they can better support scientific analysis and decision-making related to offshore resource management.
This project directly supports BOEMs mission to oversee exploration and development of offshore resources while balancing economic development, energy independence, and environmental protection. BOEMs responsibilities span offshore oil and gas leasing, renewable energy activities, and minerals development, and each of these areas depends heavily on accurate geologic and geophysical information. By improving the quality, accessibility, and consistency of the Pacific Region G and G dataset, the program is intended to strengthen BOEMs ability to make science-based decisions internally and to provide better information for external stakeholders who rely on these data for research, planning, and environmental review.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during the performance of the project compared with a typical grant. The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $150,000 and anticipates a single award. The eligible applicant category is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and the notice specifies that the funding is available to California State University, Northridges Center for Geospatial Science and Technology (CGST), making it effectively a targeted or restricted competition rather than an open call to all potential applicants.
Key administrative details include a creation date of April 9, 2019, and an original closing date of May 24, 2019. The funding activity category is Environment, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 15.423. Overall, the opportunity is focused less on conducting new field studies and more on strengthening the underlying data infrastructure for offshore geoscience in the Pacific Region, so the resulting dataset can better support environmental stewardship and responsible offshore energy and minerals management.Apply for M19AS00008
