Oceans and Human Health Initiative
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is pleased to announce a new funding opportunity being made available through the External Research Grants Program of NOAA’s new Oceans and Human Health Initiative (OHHI). OHHI was formally authorized by the Oceans and Human Health Act (OHHA) that was passed by Congress December 8, 2004. The External Research Grants Program is the largest of several OHHI programs that are designed to enhance understanding of the role of the oceans in human health, with the goal of providing useful research and predictive information to NOAA, public health officials, and natural resource managers. The OHHA defines oceans to include the Great Lakes.
This funding opportunity is intended to engage the non-federal research community in conducting research – across the physical, chemical, biological, medical, public health, oceanographic and social sciences – on priority issues for OHHI. The Federal Register Notice (FRN) that will officially announce the OHHI External Research Grants Program funding opportunity is available online.
This Federal Funding Opportunity (FFO) is available through the NOAA Web sites: Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research and NOAA Oceans and Human Health Initiative (OHHI) at the NOAA Office of Global Programs . Additional background information on NOAA’s OHHI and OHHI’s External Research Grants Program is available on those same two Web sites.
Monitoring
and Event Response for Harmful Algal Blooms Announcement of Opportunity
Closed 3:00 PM EST December 1, 2004
(Above is a direct link to Full Announcement of Federal Funding Opportunity posted on the Grants.gov website as part of the NOAA FY 2005 Omnibus Federal Register Notice)
AGENCY: National Centers for Coastal Ocean Sciences/Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research/Coastal Ocean Program (NCCOS/CSCOR/ COP), National Ocean Service (NOS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of Funding Availability for financial assistance for project grants and cooperative agreements.
SUMMARY: NCCOS/CSCOR/CSCOR/COP is soliciting proposals for two types of research projects: MERHAB-targeted and MERHAB-regional. MERHAB-targeted proposals will incorporate tools, approaches and technologies from HAB research programs into existing harmful algal bloom (HAB) monitoring programs. MERHAB-regional proposals will create partnerships to enhance and sustain routine HAB monitoring capabilities and provide managers with timely information needed to mitigate HAB impacts on coastal communities. It is anticipated that final recommendations for funding under this announcement will be made in early Calendar Year 2005, and that projects funded under this announcement will have a August 1, 2005, start date.

AGENCY: National Centers for Coastal Ocean Sciences/Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research/Coastal Ocean Program (NCCOS/CSCOR/ COP), National Ocean Service (NOS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of Funding Availability for financial assistance for project grants and cooperative agreements.
SUMMARY: NCCOS/CSCOR/CSCOR/COP is soliciting proposals for coastal hypoxia research. NCCOS/CSCOR/CSCOR/COP is soliciting research proposals for projects of 2 to 5 years in duration for the development of modeling tools and information which will be used by resource managers to assess alternative management strategies and make informed decisions regarding hypoxia in U.S. coastal waters. Funding is contingent upon the availability of Fiscal Year 2005 Federal appropriations. It is anticipated that final recommendations for funding under this announcement will be made in early Calendar Year 2005, and that projects funded under this announcement will have a June 1, 2005 start date.
Ecological
Effects of Sea Level Rise Announcment of Opportunity

AGENCY: National Centers for Coastal Ocean Sciences/Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research/Coastal Ocean Program (NCCOS/CSCOR/ COP), National Ocean Service (NOS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of Funding Availability for financial assistance for project grants and cooperative agreements.
SUMMARY: NCCOS/CSCOR/CSCOR/COP is soliciting research proposals for projects of two to three years in duration for the development of useful modeling and mapping tools to better assess and predict the fate of ecologically and economically valuable natural resources threatened by sea level rise. Funding is contingent upon the availability of Fiscal Year 2005 Federal appropriations. It is anticipated that final recommendations for funding under this announcement will be made in early Calendar Year 2005, and that projects funded under this announcement will have a May 1,2005 start date.
Closed May 09, 2005, 5 p.m. proposer's local time.
(Above is a direct link to the Full Announcement of Federal Funding Opportunity posted on the National Science Foundation program solicitation website in partnership with NOAA FY 2005 funding activities)
AGENCY: National Centers for Coastal Ocean Sciences/Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research/Coastal Ocean Program (NCCOS/CSCOR/ COP), National Ocean Service (NOS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Department of Commerce; National Science Foundation, Division of Ocean Sciences.
ACTION: The solicitation is being issued under the auspices of the U.S. Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics (U.S. GLOBEC) program within the NSF Division of Ocean Sciences, as well as the Regional Ecosystem Studies and U.S. GLOBEC initiatives of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research. NSF and NOAA have been in partnership in supporting the U.S. GLOBEC from its initiation.
SUMMARY: As part of a continuing series of solicitations for the U.S. Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics Program (U.S. GLOBEC), this solicitation covers two distinct regions - the Northwest Atlantic (NWA) and the Northeast Pacific (NEP). Proposals submitted to the NWA regions should continue synthesis of data from the NWA/Georges Bank projects and conduct comparative analysis of upstream and broader, basin-scale studies. Proposals submitted to the NEP regions should initiate synthesis of data from the Coastal Gulf of Alaska (CGOA) and conduct comparative analyses of the CGOA with the California Current System and other appropriate ocean regions.
