Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement - NT-23-11: Substrate-Borne Vibroacoustic Disturbances from Offshore Wind Construction: Measurements, Physical Characteristics, and Propagation - is cataloged under number M23AS00332 and tied to CFDA assistance listing 15.423, posted by Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as closed, first posted on June 8, 2023 and last updated on July 19, 2023. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a cooperative agreement.

Award economics. The award range on file is $1,450,000 -- $1,500,000. The agency has projected $1.5 million in total estimated funding for this announcement. Cost sharing is not required, so applicants do not need to commit matching funds to be competitive on this opportunity. Federal award ranges are often upper bounds; actual allocations reflect program appropriations, the strength of the applicant pool, and the evaluation committee's scoring.

Deadline and action path. This opportunity closed on August 8, 2023. Future funding cycles may be published under the same CFDA number, so monitoring the parent program page is the most reliable way to catch re-announcements. Every Grants.gov submission requires an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID. Review the Eligibility section below carefully, federal eligibility categories (nonprofit, state or local government, tribal, individual, educational institution, small business) have distinct registration and reporting requirements. Pre-application outreach to the listed agency contact is permitted and often welcomed, it helps clarify scope and scoring priorities. Before acting on the deadline or award figures above, verify them directly on the official Grants.gov listing, amendments can change dates and amounts after this page was last refreshed.

Description

This proposed study is to make measurements and investigate the physical characteristics and propagation of substrate-borne mechanical waves through seabed from offshore wind facility construction and operations. Although environmental impacts from substrate-borne particle motion from pile driving have been widely recognized as potential major effects on marine benthic organisms, very little research has been conducted to address these types of vibroacoustic disturbances. Therefore, information is critically needed concerning the physics and propagation of vibroacoustic disturbances from such activities. In addition, this study would explore additional data collection methods and identify the most appropriate geoacoustic sensor(s) to obtain substrate-borne vibroacoustic signals at different ranges and layers of the sediment, and to develop source and propagation to predict impact zones.Furthermore, though this study is proposed to address substrate-borne vibroacoustic characteristics and propagation from offshore wind farm construction and operations, results from this study have wide application for many marine engineering activities that are coupled with seabed, such as construction and operations of marine energy converters, subsea drilling and dredging, offshore structure removal, and deep-sea mining.
