Opportunity Information: Apply for M20AS00198
The grant opportunity titled "AK-19-02 FY 2020 Alaska Coastal Marine Institute" (Funding Opportunity Number M20AS00198) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means BOEM expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it moves forward, rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The program sits in the environmental funding category (CFDA 15.421) and is focused on generating applied marine and coastal science that can directly support real-world decision-making in Alaska and nearby offshore areas.
At its core, BOEM is seeking research studies from the University of Alaska that deliver clear public benefits. The emphasis is on science that helps solve practical problems and supports the protection and responsible management of natural resources. The work is meant to strengthen the bridge between research and on-the-ground needs, especially where offshore development and environmental stewardship intersect. BOEM highlights that the resulting science should be useful not only in academic settings, but also to the wider public and to managers and policymakers who are responsible for overseeing marine and coastal resources.
A major goal of the opportunity is to expand educational opportunities in ocean sciences. This signals that BOEM is interested in projects that do more than produce final reports; they should also help train students, build expertise, and support the next generation of marine scientists and professionals in Alaska. In practice, that can include student research roles, field and lab training, and broader university-based capacity building tied to coastal and marine science.
Another key priority is research that helps protect natural resources that are important to subsistence lifestyles. This reflects the reality that many Alaska communities rely on healthy marine ecosystems for food security, cultural continuity, and local economies. BOEM is indicating that proposed studies should be attentive to resources and ecosystem conditions that have direct relevance for subsistence use, and that the knowledge produced should help safeguard those resources over time.
The opportunity also makes it clear that BOEM wants research that informs decisions across multiple levels of government and management. The intended audience includes local, state, and federal resource managers who deal with issues connected to offshore oil and gas, renewable energy development, and other marine mineral activities. In other words, BOEM is looking for studies that can feed into planning, permitting, environmental assessment, monitoring strategies, and broader policy discussions related to offshore energy and mineral development, while ensuring that environmental risks and tradeoffs are better understood.
In terms of logistics, eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and the description specifically calls for studies from the University of Alaska. The award ceiling listed is $400,000, and the original closing date for submissions was July 29, 2020. Overall, this funding opportunity is best understood as targeted support for University of Alaska research that produces actionable coastal and marine science, strengthens ocean science education, and improves the information base used to manage offshore development in ways that protect Alaska's marine environment and subsistence-relevant resources.Apply for M20AS00198
