Additional Information
Comments This funding opportunity seeks proposals for projects that break new ground in improving the capabilities of communities in coastal regions adjacent to the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf to successfully plan for, mitigate, and adapt to environmental change–specifically in the context of how these changes may affect or be affected by offshore oil and gas operations. Grants will support exploratory activities that develop and test new approaches, technologies, and methods, or bring novel or non-traditional perspectives to relevant research and its application. Applicants are strongly encouraged to engage end-users—including decision makers, community leaders, and organizations that work at the interface between science and policy—in activities to move research findings into practice. Exploratory Grants: These grants will support projects that seek to break new ground to address an old or a new problem through innovation. By innovation, we mean the development of new approaches, technologies, or methods and/or the application of new expertise through the engagement of novel, non-traditional disciplinary or cross-sectoral perspectives. Responsive grants could include research, methods development, or approaches for translating or applying scientific evidence to decision making. These grants are modeled on the National Science Foundation’s EArly concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER). They are not intended for incremental research in well-studied areas.
