Opportunity Information: Apply for M18AS00002
The FY18 Marine Minerals Program opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number M18AS00002) was a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), through its Marine Minerals Program (MMP). The focus of the award was "Assessing Sand and Mineral Resources on the Northeast OCS," meaning work centered on the Northeast portion of the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) and the offshore sand and gravel resources found there.
The core purpose of the funding was to support a coordinated, regional effort to identify, map, and better manage offshore sand and gravel resources. BOEM framed this as serving the public interest by improving understanding and planning around offshore sand supplies that can be used for coastal restoration projects and to strengthen coastal resilience. In practical terms, the effort was intended to bring more consistency and shared practice to how sand and gravel resources are delineated (located and outlined), evaluated, and managed across state lines in the Northeast.
Eligibility was limited to state governments and public or state-controlled institutions of higher education, but the award itself was only available to a single state entity located in the Northeast region. Even though only one entity would receive the award, the recipient was expected to work in coordination with other states in the region, reflecting the regional nature of offshore resources and coastal processes. The Northeast states explicitly included in the opportunity were Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.
The planned scale of funding was modest and targeted: BOEM anticipated making one award with a maximum (award ceiling) of $200,000. Because the instrument type was a cooperative agreement, it implied an active partnership between BOEM and the recipient, rather than a more hands-off grant. The opportunity fell under the Environment funding activity category and was associated with CFDA number 15.424.
Key administrative details included a creation date of August 8, 2018, and an original application closing date of October 6, 2018. Overall, the opportunity was designed to fund a single lead organization to help organize and align multi-state efforts in the Northeast for offshore sand and gravel resource identification and management, with the broader goal of improving the region's capacity to plan and execute coastal restoration and resilience projects that may depend on those offshore materials.Apply for M18AS00002
