Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA NOS NCCOS 2019 2005810
The National Competitive Harmful Algal Bloom Programs opportunity is a NOAA National Ocean Service (NOS) National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) Competitive Research Program (CRP) funding announcement supporting research and applied work focused on harmful algal blooms (HABs). Through this single solicitation, NOAA is requesting proposals under two established national programs: MERHAB (Monitoring and Event Response for Harmful Algal Blooms) and ECOHAB (The Ecology and Oceanography of Harmful Algal Blooms). Awards are expected to be made as cooperative agreements, and funding is explicitly contingent on the availability of Fiscal Year 2019 federal appropriations. NOAA anticipated an initial project start date of September 1, 2019, indicating that the agency intended projects to begin relatively soon after award decisions.
MERHAB is positioned as the program aimed at improving the nation s capacity to monitor HABs and respond effectively when events occur. The solicitation indicates NOAA expected to support both Regional and Targeted projects under MERHAB, which typically implies work that can either address HAB challenges across a broader geographic region or focus on specific problems, species, locations, or response needs. For the first year of MERHAB work across all funded projects, NOAA anticipated up to about 2.5 million dollars total in FY 2019. The agency expected to fund roughly 7 to 9 MERHAB projects, with typical budgets ranging from about 200,000 to 600,000 per year per proposal. MERHAB project periods were expected to run 3 to 5 years, suggesting NOAA was looking for multi year efforts that can mature monitoring approaches and response capabilities beyond a short pilot phase.
ECOHAB is framed as the more research intensive track focused on understanding the ecology and oceanography that drive harmful algal blooms, including the environmental conditions and processes that influence bloom development, persistence, toxicity, transport, and impacts. Under this announcement, ECOHAB was limited to Regional projects only, signaling an emphasis on integrated, place based research efforts at scales large enough to capture key physical, chemical, and biological drivers. NOAA anticipated up to about 3.0 million dollars total in FY 2019 for the first year of ECOHAB projects combined. The expected number of ECOHAB awards was smaller, about 1 to 4 Regional projects, with substantially larger annual budgets of roughly 700,000 to 1,000,000 per year per proposal. The notice also specifies that these budgets may include ship time, which is often a major cost in oceanographic field programs and highlights that NOAA anticipated field intensive research. ECOHAB projects were expected to last 5 years, aligning with the longer time horizons often needed to capture interannual variability, build robust datasets, and advance predictive understanding.
From an administrative standpoint, this was a discretionary funding opportunity within the Environment, Natural Resources, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development activity category, listed under CFDA 11.478. The funding opportunity number is NOAA NOS NCCOS 2019 2005810. The posting lists an expected total of about 12 awards across both programs combined and an award ceiling of 1,000,000 (consistent with the upper end of the ECOHAB annual range and the cooperative agreement structure). The original closing date for applications was February 4, 2019, and the opportunity was created on October 3, 2018, giving applicants a multi month window to assemble proposals.
Applications were required to be submitted electronically via Grants.gov, and NOAA encouraged applicants to sign up on Grants.gov to receive any amendments to the announcement. NOAA also directed applicants to program webpages for background information and for any FAQ updates that might arise during the competition. MERHAB information was referenced at https://coastalscience.noaa.gov/research/habs/merhab and ECOHAB information at https://coastalscience.noaa.gov/research/stressor-impacts-mitigation/ecohab/. Eligibility is summarized broadly as "Others" in the listing, with additional clarification expected in the full announcement under the eligibility section, which is typical for NOAA research competitions that may allow a range of applicant types depending on statutory and program requirements.
Overall, the solicitation represents a coordinated NOAA investment in both near term, operationally relevant HAB monitoring and response (MERHAB) and longer term, process oriented research to explain and predict HAB dynamics at regional scales (ECOHAB). The funding levels and project durations indicate NOAA was seeking multi year efforts that can deliver durable monitoring improvements, actionable response tools, and a stronger scientific basis for understanding and managing harmful algal bloom risks in U.S. coastal waters.Apply for NOAA NOS NCCOS 2019 2005810
