What the grant funds

This Broad Agency Announcement is a mechanism to encourage research, education, outreach, innovative projects, or sponsorships that are not addressed through NOAA’s competitive discretionary programs. This announcement is not soliciting goods or services for the direct benefit of NOAA. Funding for activities described in this notice is contingent upon the availability of appropriations in the fiscal years applicable to the application. Applicants are hereby given notice that funds have not yet been appropriated for any activities described in this notice. Publication of this announcement does not oblige NOAA to review an application beyond an initial administrative review, or to award any specific project, or to obligate any available funds. CESU projects fund applied environmental and cultural resource research, technical assistance, and education to support effective stewardship and decision-making for public lands and trust resources.
