NOAA 2015 Regional Coastal Resilience Grant Program:
Awards will be made to organizations that advance resilience strategies in plans for land and ocean use, disaster preparedness, environmental restoration, hazard mitigation, or other regional, state, or community plans. Successful proposals will demonstrate regional coordination among project stakeholders, leverage resources (such as funds, programs, partnerships, and others), and result in economic and environmental benefits for coastal communities. Project results will be evaluated using clear measures of success.
Proposals are due by July 24, 2015. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, institutions of higher education, regional organizations, private (for profit) entities, and local, state, and tribal governments. Award amounts will range from $500,000 to $1 million for projects lasting up to 36 months. Cost sharing through cash or in-kind matches is expected. Applicants must conduct projects benefiting coastal communities in one or more of the 35 U.S. coastal states or territories.
