Description
The FY 2027–2028 NESDIS Broad Agency Announcement is a discretionary NOAA funding opportunity for science, technology, and research and development. Administered through the U.S. Department of Commerce, it offers grants and cooperative agreements. Applicants may contact the relevant NOAA Line or Staff Office for more information about proposed activities.
The announcement also solicits proposals through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) program. This federal partnership network connects agencies with universities, tribes, nonprofits, and other partners to address natural and cultural resource challenges. CESUs are based at host universities, focus on particular biogeographic regions, and operate as collaborations among federal and non-federal institutional partners.
