The NOAA Marine Debris Program is offering grants to conduct research on ecological risks associated with marine debris, debris exposure levels, and the fate of marine debris in nearshore environments. Projects must be hypothesis-driven and focus on scientific exploration. Funding of up to $1.5 million is available through cooperative agreements, with typical awards ranging from $150,000 to $250,000. Applications should not focus on outreach, education, or debris removal. The closing date for this grant opportunity is December 19, 2016.

| Description: | The NOAA Marine Debris Program (MDP), authorized in the Marine Debris Act (33 U.S.C. 1951-1958), provides funding to support eligible organizations to conduct research directly related to marine debris through field, laboratory, and modeling experiments. Funding for this purpose comes through the NOAA Marine Debris Program as appropriations to the Office of Response and Restoration, National Ocean Service. The MDP invites applications requesting funding for research that explores the ecological risk associated with marine debris, determines debris exposure levels, and examines the fate and transport of marine debris in nearshore, coastal environments. Projects may address one or more of these research priorities and should be original, hypothesis-driven projects that have not previously been addressed to scientific standards. Successful proposals through this solicitation will be funded through cooperative agreements. Funding of up to $1,500,000 is expected to be available for Marine Debris Research grants in FY2017. Typical awards will range from $150,000 – $250,000. Funding is contingent upon the availability of Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 appropriations.
This is not a request for project proposals that address outreach, education, or removal of marine debris. |
