FY2020 NOAA Ruth Gates Coral Restoration Innovation Grants
The Ruth Gates Coral Restoration Innovation Grants is a tribute to the work and life of Dr. Ruth Gates and aims to build on her efforts to address the decline in coral reefs through innovative science and research.
The work funded through this program is aimed at promoting long-term survival of
corals by supporting the science needed to incorporate resilient corals into restoration activities and to enhance the efficiency of asexual and sexual coral restoration.
The principal objectives of this grant program are to support innovative coral restoration research, to apply these innovative techniques to create resilient, genetically diverse, and reproductively viable populations of coral species, and to support the development of creative methods to improve coral outplanting efficiency and build resilient coral reef ecosystems.
Projects funded through the Ruth Gates Restoration Innovation Grants will support:
1) research and development of interventions to improve coral resilience to environmental stressors, and 2) research, development, and field-testing of novel techniques to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of coral population enhancement.
Proposals selected for funding through this solicitation will be funded through cooperative agreements.
One-year or multi-year awards up to three funding years will be considered.
The funding for the second and/or third year (FY21 and/or FY22) will be estimated in the FY20 application, with final amounts determined in future years, pending future federal appropriations and progress towards project milestones.
Proposals for multi-year funding should outline the costs expected for year two and/or year three in detail in this proposal (see Section IV.B for more details about the budget narrative for multi-year awards).
NOAA anticipates typical federal funding for awards will range from $100,000-$250,000/year for a total $100,000 to $750,000 over one to three years.
NOAA will not accept proposals with a federal funding request of less than $100,000 or more than $1,000,000 total over three years.
NOAA anticipates approximately $500,000 will be available under this Announcement in FY2 0. Funds will be administered by the Office of Habitat Conservation in conjunction with the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP).
Funding may be divided among the U. S. Pacific and Atlantic regions to maintain the geographic balance of the CRCP FY20 portfolio overall, as required by the Coral Reef Conservation Act of 200 0. NOAA anticipates an additional $500,000 to $1,500,000 may be available in the next two years (FY21 - FY22) to support selected awards.
Awards are dependent upon the amount of funds Congress makes available to NOAA in the FY20 - FY22 budgets.
