The following entities are eligible to submit to this opportunity:Sea Grant College Programs, Sea Grant Institutional Programs, and Sea Grant Coherent Area Programs. For the entirety of this document, these entities are collectively referred to as “Sea Grant Programs”. To be eligible to apply or receive an award, applicant organizations must complete and maintain three registrations; SAM.gov, Grants.gov, and eRA Commons. For each, the complete registration process can take 4 to 6 weeks, so applicants must begin this activity as soon as possible and well before the proposal due date.

The National Sea Grant College Program champions diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) by recruiting, retaining, and preparing a diverse workforce, and proactively engaging and serving the diverse populations of coastal communities. Sea Grant is committed to building inclusive research, extension, communication, and education programs that serve people with unique backgrounds, circumstances, needs, perspectives, and ways of thinking. We encourage Sea Grant program applications to reflect diverse participation with regards to age, race, ethnicities, national origins, gender identities, sexual orientations, disabilities, cultures, religions, citizenship types, marital statuses, education levels, job classifications, veteran status types, income, and socioeconomic status.

## What the grant funds

The National Sea Grant College Program was enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1966 (amended in 2020, Public Law 116-221) to support leveraged federal and state partnerships that harness the intellectual capacity of the nation’s universities and research institutions to solve problems and generate opportunities in coastal communities. NOAA’s National Sea Grant Office (NSGO) anticipates approximately $1,000,000 of federal funds will be available to support 1-5 projects that address Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs) across a shared geography, biogeography or watershed. Each application may request between $200,000 and $600,000 in federal funds per project and may be for up to three years. Applications require the standard 50% non-federal match for Sea Grant projects. This will be a stand-alone (i.e., non-omnibus) award. Applicants are encouraged to pursue diverse partnerships, including with state agencies and academic institutions, to develop projects that research and monitor CECs that may cause ecological or human health impacts, including PFAS, in coastal and estuarine waters. If the region has received funding from the past CEC competitions, applicants are encouraged to demonstrate how this proposal will build off of those prior collaborative efforts and selected CEC projects. Projects must have a research focus and can include appropriate associated supporting costs and activities (e.g. administration, extension, research/project synthesis). Applicants can propose future competed research competitions to select projects that meet the scope below, and/or applicants can propose program led research projects. Proposed work should: Focus on species of ecological importance, particularly those with strong socio-economic and/or human health dimensions (e.g., subsistence, recreational, or commercial shellfish and/or finfish); Focus on the prevalence, transportation, and biogeochemical transformations of CECs across a watershed or ecosystem, especially those with pathways that involve drinking water and/or wastewater; Consider the in-situ multi-stressor and/or interactive effects of CECs that organisms likely experience in their natural environments; and/or Perform short-term monitoring assessments to help steer more focused, long-term monitoring initiatives. All projects must take place within the United States or territories or their respective waterways.
