Opportunity Information: Apply for M17AS00017
The BOEM 2017 Environmental Studies Program opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number M17AS00017) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), through its Alaska Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Region. It is designed to support environmental research that strengthens BOEM's ability to make informed decisions about offshore resource management. BOEM's broader mission is to oversee exploration and development of the nation's offshore resources in a way that balances economic development and energy independence with environmental protection, including activities tied to offshore oil and gas leasing as well as renewable energy development. Because those management decisions require rigorous environmental review, BOEM funds targeted studies to fill data gaps and improve the scientific foundation used in planning, leasing, and impact assessment.
This specific cooperative agreement focuses on investigating the Arctic marine ecosystem, with an emphasis on the Chukchi Sea and the western Beaufort Sea in Alaska's OCS areas. The study is intended to provide additional characterization of these regions, examine ecological connections between the two seas, and identify drivers that force ecosystem responses. In practical terms, the work centers on documenting and correlating the presence, abundance, distribution, and habitat use of fish and invertebrate species within the Chukchi and Western Beaufort Sea OCS lease areas. Data collection is expected primarily during the open-water season, with the possibility of including shoulder seasons when conditions allow, recognizing the operational constraints and seasonal variability typical of Arctic fieldwork.
Eligibility is limited to state governments and public or state-controlled institutions of higher education, reflecting the program's emphasis on public-sector and academic capacity to carry out complex environmental studies in challenging environments. The listing indicates a single expected award, with an award ceiling of $1,014,390, suggesting one project of substantial scope rather than multiple smaller grants. The opportunity falls under CFDA number 15.423 and is categorized under the environment funding activity area. The notice was created on April 17, 2017, with an original application closing date of June 17, 2017.
Overall, the grant opportunity supports a targeted Arctic ecosystem investigation meant to improve BOEM's environmental baseline knowledge for offshore decision-making in the Chukchi and western Beaufort Seas. By generating detailed information on fish and invertebrate communities and how they relate to habitat and regional linkages, the study aims to clarify ecosystem structure and the factors influencing change, which in turn helps BOEM evaluate potential environmental effects associated with offshore leasing and development activities.Apply for M17AS00017
