Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA OAR CIPO 2017 2005127
This funding opportunity is a competitive NOAA Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) solicitation to create a single Cooperative Institute focused on the Great Lakes region. The core idea is to establish a long-term research partnership, via a cooperative agreement, between NOAA and one qualified research institution that can strengthen and extend NOAA's current and planned Great Lakes work. The institute is meant to directly support NOAA's 5-year Research Plan and its longer-range 20-year Research Vision, both of which emphasize improving NOAA's capacity to understand ecosystems, help restore and protect them, and support effective management of coastal and marine resources. A major theme is translating science into usable information and communication that helps the public and decision-makers act as informed stewards of these ecosystems.
The institute is intended to be anchored at a research institution located in the Great Lakes region, defined specifically for this competition as the eight states bordering the Great Lakes: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. Beyond geography, the host institution is expected to have strong, established graduate degree programs in NOAA-relevant scientific fields, reflecting NOAA's interest in building both research capacity and workforce development in the region. In practice, a Cooperative Institute typically serves as a hub that can coordinate research, education, and stakeholder engagement across multiple disciplines, aligning academic strengths with NOAA mission needs in areas like ecosystem understanding, environmental change, and resource management.
Administratively, this is a discretionary federal funding opportunity under the Department of Commerce, using a cooperative agreement funding instrument rather than a standard grant. That detail matters because cooperative agreements generally involve substantial federal involvement, meaning NOAA is likely to collaborate closely with the selected institute on planning, priorities, and execution of activities. The assistance listing is identified under CFDA number 11.432, and the opportunity falls within Environment, Natural Resources, and Science and Technology research and development categories.
The competition anticipates making one award, with an annual award ceiling listed at $4,000,000. The opportunity was originally posted on December 13, 2016, with an original closing date of February 13, 2017. Eligibility is described broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, but the central requirement highlighted in the description is that the applicant must be a research institution located within the defined Great Lakes states and capable of supporting outstanding NOAA-related graduate education and research.
Overall, the opportunity is designed to create a flagship NOAA-affiliated research institute for the Great Lakes that can bolster scientific understanding of the region's ecosystems, improve the science-to-management pipeline for restoration and protection efforts, and strengthen communication and public engagement so research outcomes translate into tangible societal benefit.Apply for NOAA OAR CIPO 2017 2005127
