The NOAA FY09 Ocean Exploration Omnibus Grant specifically focuses on supporting marine archaeology projects, including exploring submerged landscapes, shipwrecks, and other maritime cultural sites. The grant seeks proposals emphasizing the early phases of field archaeology such as site searching, locating, and evaluating. Innovative methodologies that utilize current marine technology efficiently are encouraged. Approximately $400,000 is available for bold, interdisciplinary proposals that align with NOAA’s Strategic Plan. Proposals must highlight the archaeological significance of the sites, their relevance to human history, and how the research contributes to marine exploration. Only marine archaeology projects conducted in oceans, coasts, or Great Lakes regions will be considered for funding. Non-Federal applicants must submit full proposals via Grants.gov, while Federal applicants can send hard copies to NOAA’s Office of Ocean Exploration & Research in Maryland. Closing date for submissions is October 21, 2008.

| Description: | Proposals for exploration and discovery of significant maritime heritage sites are the priority. Submerged, previously subaerial, landscapes, shipwrecks, and other maritime cultural sites are typical focus subjects of the program. Proposals will emphasize the early phases of field archaeology: searching, locating, evaluating or inventorying sites. This Announcement does not invite proposals to support later phases of archaeological research, such as intensive site excavations, and major conservation projects. All applicants must convincingly describe: The archaeological significance of their site(s), and their importance to human history; how their research fits within the realm of exploration; why their methodologies are innovative and make the most economical use of current marine technology. OE is seeking pre-proposals and full proposals to support its mission, consistent with NOAA’s Strategic Plan (http://www.nrc.noaa.gov), to search, investigate, and document marine archaeological resources. OE is seeking proposals for exploration and discovery of significant maritime heritage sites, including submerged, previously subaerial, landscapes, shipwrecks, aircraft, and other maritime cultural sites. Competitive OE proposals will be bold, innovative and interdisciplinary in their approach and objectives. Proposals will emphasize the early phases of field archaeology: searching, locating, evaluating or inventorying sites. Marine Archaeology projects may be conducted in any of the world’s oceans, coasts or Great Lakes regions, on any suitable platform, vessel or other charter. It is anticipated that a total of approximately $400,000 will be available through this announcement. Only marine archaeology proposals will be funded. Any other kind of project will not be reviewed. Applicants are encouraged to visit the Ocean Explorer Web site (http://www.oceanexplorer.noaa.gov) to familiarize themselves with past and present OE-funded activities. Background on how to apply and the required proposal cover sheets are accessible through the OE Office Web site at http://www.explore.noaa.gov/opportunity/ welcome.html. The program priorities for this opportunity support NOAAs mission support goal of: Ecosystems–Protect, Restore, and Manage Use of Coastal and Ocean Resources through Ecosystem-Based Management. Full proposal submissions for non-Federal applicants must be submitted through Grants.gov. Federal applicants or applicants without Internet access may submit hard-copies to: ATTN: Dr. Nicolas Alvarado, Proposal Manager, NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration & Research, SSMC III, 10th Floor, 1315 East-West Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910. No E-mail or facsimile full proposal submissions will be accepted. |
