Description
This Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) invites applications for special projects, research, education, outreach, and innovative programs that align with NOAA’s strategic plan and mission goals. The BAA is not intended to fund existing NOAA awards, but rather to encourage new initiatives that are not addressed through NOAA’s standard competitive programs. Each NOAA Line Office (e.g., National Marine Fisheries Service, National Ocean Service, National Weather Service, Office of Atmospheric Research, Office of Education, National Environmental Satellite Data Information Service) has a separate BAA, and applicants must submit to the office that best fits their project.
Projects may address a wide range of topics, including but not limited to marine and coastal ecosystem viability, weather and climate information, climate change science, and support for global commerce and transportation. The BAA is open to a variety of project types, including research, education, outreach, and sponsorships (e.g., conferences, newsletters).
