Additional Information on Eligibility: This Program Announcement describes a specific project that may be awarded to the University of Alabama, premised on receipt of an acceptable proposal. This is not an open solicitation for proposals. This announcement is specifically to announce intent to undertake the project "Microfossil Assemblage Analysis in Support of the Mississippi Offshore Sediment Resources Inventory". The award will be a cooperative agreement (see Eligibility Information below). This involves substantial involvement by BOEM scientists in various aspects of study development and/or study conduct.

Eligibility Information: Research projects are required to have a staff member of the applying organization as the Principal Investigator (PI). Cooperative research between interested organizations—i.e., state agencies, public universities, and non-profits in affected states—is always encouraged.

Cost Share/Match: Contributions of matching funds towards these efforts, either as cash or in-kind contributions (such as salary, equipment, etc., or a combination of both) is very strongly encouraged. Match cannot include value associated with collection costs for samples previously collected. Match value for instrumentation and other equipment should be adjusted to the period of use within the project relative to the full life cycle for the item. Written documentation for the assessed match for ship time (if applicable) shall provide a fair assessment of costs relevant to the project. Matching dollars cannot be from other Federal funding sources. Further information can be located at 2 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 200.306.

All questions regarding this project, including eligibility, should be directed to the “Program Announcement and Cooperative Agreement Questions” point-of-contact listed in Section G.

Additional Information

Agency Name: Bureau of Ocean Energy Management
Description: This information will help provide Gulf Coast restoration planners with information on available building material for coastal restoration projects, indirectly providing benefits to infrastructure systems, housing, economic development, community planning and capacity building. Additionally, the identification of these sands provides an inventory of resources that will be beneficial for future coastal planning efforts which ultimately promotes long-term sustainability for both communities and ecosystems. Other federal agencies, the State of Mississippi, local governments and local communities will benefit from the outcome of this project through improved consultations and project planning for locally and federally funded coastal restoration projects. This project will enable BOEM to help the state and localities by providing financial assistance to researchers who will produce scientific information for use by state and local resource managers.
