Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA NOS OCM 2023 2008020
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) grant opportunity titled "Tribal Engagement in Regional Ocean Partnership Priorities" is a NOAA program administered through the Department of Commerce (NOAA NOS OCM 2023 2008020; CFDA 11.473) that supports projects aimed at strengthening tribal participation in regional ocean and coastal collaboration. It is set up to complement a separate NOAA funding track that provides support directly to established Regional Ocean Partnerships (ROPs). While that companion program is focused on sustaining and enhancing the ROP organizations themselves, this funding is specifically centered on tribal involvement: either helping Tribes engage more fully with existing ROPs or supporting tribal-led work that directly advances an established ROP's priority actions.
The core requirement is alignment with established ROP priorities. Projects must clearly and directly connect to what existing ROPs have identified as priority activities for their regions, and the proposal must show that connection in a concrete way. Eligible work can therefore fall into two main lanes: (1) activities that encourage, expand, or improve tribal engagement in or with an established ROP (for example, improving coordination mechanisms, ensuring tribal perspectives are incorporated into regional decision-making, or building the relationships and capacity needed for meaningful participation), and/or (2) tribal activities that are closely aligned with, and help deliver on, an ROP's priority action areas (for example, work that supports regional coordination on ocean and coastal management issues where ROPs are already organized and active). The program is explicitly about interstate and intertribal ocean and coastal management coordination, so competitive projects are those that strengthen that regional, collaborative approach rather than operating as isolated efforts.
Awards are issued as cooperative agreements, meaning NOAA expects to have substantial involvement during the project period compared with a standard grant. The maximum award amount (ceiling) is $200,000, with an anticipated total of about five awards under this competition. The opportunity was posted May 30, 2023, and the original application deadline was August 30, 2023. The opportunity category is listed as mandatory, and the eligible applicant field indicates "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full notice, so applicants would need to confirm their eligibility status by checking the notice's eligibility section.
A key constraint is that certain activities are ineligible, and the notice points applicants to Section III.C, "Other Criteria that Affect Eligibility," for those restrictions. In practice, that means applicants should design their scope carefully around tribal engagement and ROP priority alignment, and should cross-check the proposed tasks against the ineligible-activities list to avoid disqualification. Overall, the funding is best understood as targeted support for Tribes to participate in, shape, and advance the work already organized through established Regional Ocean Partnerships, strengthening regional ocean and coastal management through sustained intertribal and interstate collaboration.Apply for NOAA NOS OCM 2023 2008020
