What this is
The Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) is soliciting proposals through a multi-year Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) running through September 2026. This is not for existing NOAA award continuation but for new special projects and programs. Applicants should identify which NOAA Line Office best fits their work—including National Marine Fisheries Service, National Ocean Service, National Weather Service, Office of Atmospheric Research, Office of Education, or National Environmental Satellite Data Information Service—and submit accordingly. Contact the relevant NOAA office for guidance on fit and specifics.
Who can apply
Eligibility varies by NOAA Line Office; this BAA is open to universities, non-profits, small businesses, and established organizations working on projects within NOAA's mission areas. Applicants must identify and apply to the specific Line Office BAA that matches their project focus. See the full eligibility section for detailed organization type requirements by Line Office.

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 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 one Line Office, mention this in your application and notify the relevant contacts in Section VII. so that NOAA may coordinate internally.
