Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA NMFS PIFSC 2019 2006081
The Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit Broad Agency Announcement (NOAA NMFS PIFSC 2019 2006081) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service, specifically the Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC). Its core purpose is to solicit applications for special projects and programs that support NOAA's mission goals, especially work tied to the environment, natural resources, and science and technology research and development. Rather than functioning like a typical open competition program with a single narrowly defined research question, this announcement is set up as a flexible mechanism to support a range of activities such as research, education, outreach, innovative projects, and certain sponsorships that may not fit neatly within NOAA's standard competitive discretionary programs.
A key feature of this opportunity is that it operates under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework, which is a broader national partnership model used across multiple federal departments and agencies. In practice, that means the award relationship is intended to be collaborative, with substantial federal involvement, and it is limited to one funding instrument type: Cooperative Agreements. This is not a grant program where the agency simply provides funds and steps back; it is designed for projects where NOAA expects to be actively engaged in planning, coordination, or execution consistent with CESU objectives and NOAA mission priorities.
Eligibility is intentionally narrow. Only members of the specifically named CESU are eligible to apply, and the announcement emphasizes that the CESU-specific BAA carries stricter requirements than NOAA's NOAA-wide BAA. The listing signals "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)" because the eligible universe is not the general public; it is the subset of institutions and partners formally participating in the applicable CESU network. If an organization is not a member of that named CESU, it should assume it is not eligible under this particular announcement even if it might otherwise qualify for NOAA funding in other programs.
The announcement also includes several important limitations and funding cautions. It is explicitly not a vehicle for awarding congressionally directed funds, and it is not meant to extend or continue existing funded awards. Funding availability is contingent on appropriations for Fiscal Year 2019 and Fiscal Year 2020, and the notice plainly states that funds had not yet been appropriated for any potential activities at the time of publication. In other words, submitting a proposal does not guarantee that NOAA will have money available, and the agency does not commit itself to reviewing applications, selecting a project, making an award, or obligating any funds merely by publishing the announcement.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was created on May 23, 2019, and listed an original closing date of September 30, 2021. The CFDA number associated with it is 11.472, aligning it with NOAA fisheries-related assistance programs. The funding details included an award ceiling of 1 (as provided in the source data), and the expected number of awards is listed as 1, suggesting that NOAA anticipated selecting a very limited number of projects under this particular posting or using it as a controlled mechanism to support a specific cooperative effort aligned with PIFSC needs.
Overall, this BAA is best understood as a structured pathway for CESU partners to propose and carry out mission-relevant work with NOAA PIFSC in the Pacific Islands region, with an emphasis on collaboration and flexibility. Successful proposals must align with NOAA's mission and with the intent of the National CESU program, and applicants should be prepared for the added compliance and partnership expectations that come with a CESU-based Cooperative Agreement rather than a standard grant.Apply for NOAA NMFS PIFSC 2019 2006081
