NOAA is offering competitive funding through its Regional Ocean Partnership Funding Program to eligible entities including regional ocean partnerships, tribal, state, local, and territory governments, institutions of higher learning, and non-profit/for-profit organizations. This grant is for supporting two key areas: firstly, activities that contribute to Regional Ocean Partnership (ROP) priorities while advancing National Ocean Policy (NOP) goals, including regional Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning (CMSP) efforts. Secondly, it provides ROP development and governance support for existing ROP operations and administration, and start-up costs for new ROPs. Approximately $3,000,000 is anticipated, with proposals due by April 2, 2012, for projects starting October 1, 2012.
