Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA NOS OCS 2022 2006933
The grant opportunity titled "nhancing the Capabilities of Current Hydrodynamic" (Funding Opportunity Number: NOAA NOS OCS 2022 2006933) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAA. It is designed to fund research and development work in the areas of environment, natural resources, and science and technology, with a specific focus on improving the capabilities of existing hydrodynamic approaches. In practical terms, this points to efforts that strengthen how water movement and related physical processes are modeled, measured, or applied in real-world coastal and ocean management contexts, especially where better hydrodynamic understanding supports sound environmental decisions.
At its core, the program was created to support projects that develop a science-based, multi-dimensional approach for balancing environmental protection with economic growth. The emphasis on "multi-dimensional" suggests work that goes beyond a single-variable or single-discipline solution, for example by integrating physical oceanography, water quality, sediment transport, ecosystem impacts, and human uses such as navigation, coastal development, fisheries, or offshore activities. The intended outcome is to maintain or improve environmental quality while still enabling responsible economic activity, which aligns with management needs in coastal and marine environments where development pressures and conservation goals often overlap.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency is likely to have substantial involvement during the project period compared with a standard grant. This can include collaboration on technical direction, data standards, deliverables, or coordination with related NOAA efforts. The opportunity lists a maximum award amount (award ceiling) of $300,000, and it anticipates making one award, indicating a competitive process aimed at selecting a single project that best matches NOAA's goals and technical needs for this topic area.
Eligible applicants span a broad set of public and nonprofit entities, including state, county, and city or township governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding universities in that specific nonprofit category). This eligibility structure supports both academic and applied, practitioner-driven projects, including those led by government agencies responsible for coastal management, universities with modeling and field expertise, and mission-driven nonprofits working on environmental science and planning.
Key administrative details include the CFDA (now commonly referred to under Assistance Listings) number 11.473, the creation date of May 24, 2021, and an original closing date of June 1, 2021. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a targeted NOAA-funded effort to advance hydrodynamic capability in ways that directly improve decision-making for coastal and marine environments, ensuring that economic development can proceed with stronger scientific support and safeguards for environmental quality.Apply for NOAA NOS OCS 2022 2006933
