Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA OAR SG 2024 23220
The FY2024 Sea Grant Programs Only - Workshops and Professional Meetings #1 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NOAA OAR SG 2024 23220) is a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Sea Grant funding announcement under the U.S. Department of Commerce. It supports the National Sea Grant College Program, originally established by Congress in 1966 and later amended in 2020 (Public Law 116-221), which is designed to strengthen federal-state partnerships that use the expertise of universities and research institutions to address practical challenges and create economic and environmental opportunities in coastal communities. In plain terms, this funding is meant to help Sea Grant networks convene, collaborate, and build professional capacity through targeted workshops and professional meetings that advance Sea Grant's mission.
The funding is discretionary and can be awarded either as a grant or a cooperative agreement. It is tied to CFDA (Assistance Listing) 11.417 and is categorized under activity areas that include business and commerce, education, and science and technology and other research and development. The opportunity is specifically aimed at Sea Grant-related applicants (listed broadly as "Others" with more detail referenced in the announcement's eligibility section), meaning it is not intended as an open competition for the general public or any institution outside the Sea Grant context.
Projects proposed under this announcement should focus on covering costs that make workshops and professional meetings possible and effective. The announcement highlights several eligible uses of funds: paying for workshops led by Sea Grant programs or by individuals representing Sea Grant; providing travel support for Sea Grant professionals to attend workshops, conferences, or professional meetings; supporting participation by Sea Grant professionals in events that are clearly relevant to accomplishing Sea Grant's mission; and covering workshop logistics and administration or closely related expenses. The emphasis is less on funding research itself and more on enabling coordination, training, knowledge exchange, and professional development that strengthens Sea Grant programming and outcomes.
The award size is relatively small and targeted, with an award ceiling of $15,000 per award and an expectation of about four awards. This structure suggests the program is looking to fund multiple focused activities rather than a small number of large, multi-year projects. The announcement was created on August 14, 2023, and had an original application deadline of September 28, 2023, indicating it was intended for FY2024 planning and execution of near-term workshops or meeting participation.
Overall, this opportunity functions as a support mechanism for Sea Grant-led professional engagement: it helps fund the convening power, travel, and administrative backbone needed to run workshops or ensure Sea Grant professionals can participate in mission-aligned meetings. The program framing points to practical benefits such as improved coordination across Sea Grant programs, better dissemination of knowledge and best practices, stronger networks among coastal professionals, and more effective delivery of Sea Grant services and partnerships in coastal communities.Apply for NOAA OAR SG 2024 23220
