2024 NOFO Announced

NOAA’s National Centers for Coastal and Ocean Science Competitive Research Program (NCCOS/CRP) is pleased to announce a Fiscal Year 2024 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for Social, Cultural, and Economic Assessment of Harmful Algal Blooms.

 

For this opportunity, NCCOS/CRP is soliciting proposals that assess the social, cultural and economic impacts of HAB events. Research funded through this opportunity may guide future research on the impacts of HAB events and inform the selection of management strategies and methods most appropriate to a specific HAB event and ongoing issues.

 

NCCOS/CRP expects to fund 3 to 5 projects, for up to three years, at the level of $300,000 to $400,000 per year per proposal. NCCOS/CRP envisions funding at least one project focused on social, cultural and/or subsistence impacts of HAB events and at least one project focused on economic impacts of HAB events.

 

A letter of intent is required. Any full proposals submitted without a prior letter of intent submission will not be considered.  Letter of intents are due by 11:59 PM ET on October 13, 2023; and full proposals are due by 11:59 PM ET on January 17, 2024. The LOI is for guidance purposes only and all teams who submit a LOI are able to submit a full proposal.
