What this is
This is a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) from NOAA's Office of Education inviting proposals for special projects supporting NOAA's strategic priorities. The announcement runs through September 2026 and applicants must submit to the specific NOAA Line Office (NMFS, NOS, NWS, OAR, Office of Education, or NESDIS) most relevant to their work. Award amounts are not specified in this umbrella notice; applicants should contact the relevant NOAA office for budget details and specific topic areas.
Who can apply
Eligibility varies by NOAA Line Office; review the specific BAA for your target office (NMFS, NOS, NWS, OAR, Office of Education, or NESDIS). The announcement states 'Others (see text field),' meaning eligibility is not limited to a single organization type—universities, non-profits, small businesses, and established companies may apply, but must verify their eligibility against the specific Line Office requirements.

Full description — from the agency
This notice is not a mechanism to fund existing NOAA awards. The purpose of this notice is to request applications for special projects and programs associated with NOAA's strategic plan and mission goals, as well as to provide the general public with information and guidelines on how NOAA will select applications and administer discretionary Federal assistance under this Broad Agency Announcement (BAA). Each NOAA Line or Staff Office that supports financial assistance (National Marine Fisheries Service, National Ocean Service, National Weather Service, Office of Atmospheric Research, Office of Education, and National Environmental Satellite Data Information Service) has a separate BAA found in Grants.gov, so applicants should submit their application to the BAA for the Line Office that best fits their application. A description of NOAA Line Offices is found at https://www.corporateservices.noaa.gov/public/lineoffices.html and https://www.noaa.gov/office-education, and applicants may contact the Agency Contacts in Section VII. below for more information. If you submit the same application to more than Line Office, mention this in your application and notify the relevant contacts in Section VII. so that NOAA may coordinate internally.
