Description
A description of NOAA Line and Staff Offices is found at https://www.noaa.gov/about/organization, and applicants may contact the Agency Contacts in Section VII. below for more information. If you submit the same application to more than one Line or Staff Office, mention this in your application and notify the relevant contacts in Section VII. so that NOAA may coordinate internally. This notice also solicits proposals that are part of the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) program. CESU is a U.S. federal partnership network that connects agencies with universities, tribes, nonprofits, and other partners to address natural and cultural resource challenges. Each CESU is structured as a working collaborative with participation from numerous federal and nonfederal institutional partners. CESUs are based at host universities and focused on a particular biogeographic region of the country.
Eligibility
Eligible applicants may be institutions of higher education, nonprofits, commercial organizations,
international or foreign organizations or governments, individuals, state, local, and Indian Tribal
governments. Eligibility also depends on the statutory authority that permits NOAA to fund the proposed

exists, Federal organizations seeking NOAA funds should contact relevant program officials about the
interagency agreement process.

regional programs: California, Chesapeake Watershed, Great Lakes Northern Forests, Great Plains, Gulf
Coast, Hawaii & Pacific Islands, North and West Alaska, North Atlantic Coast, Pacific Northwest,
