FY2025 Sea Grant Programs Only - Workshops and Professional Meetings
Posted by DOC NOAA - ERA Production
Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement — FY2025 Sea Grant Programs Only - Workshops and Professional Meetings — is cataloged under number NOAA-OAR-SG-2025-29472 and tied to CFDA assistance listing 11.417, posted by DOC NOAA - ERA Production. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as closed, first posted on December 4, 2024. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a cooperative agreement.
Award economics. The award range on file is Up to $15,000. The agency has projected $120,000 in total estimated funding for this announcement. It expects to issue 10 awards. If the agency funds the expected 10 awards from the $120,000 estimated pool, the average award works out to roughly $12,000. Cost sharing or matching funds are required, meaning applicants must contribute a portion of the project budget from non-federal sources — factor this into your financial plan before drafting the proposal. 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 April 16, 2025. 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.

Description
This opportunity is only available to existing institutional Sea Grant Programs. The National Sea Grant College Program was enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1966 (amended in 2020, Public Law 116-221) to support leveraged federal and state partnerships that harness the intellectual capacity of the nation’s universities and research institutions to solve problems and generate opportunities in coastal communities. Applications to this opportunity should propose projects that do one or more of the following: • Support the costs of workshops led by Sea Grant programs or individuals representing Sea Grant; • Provide travel for Sea Grant professionals to workshops, conferences or professional meetings; • Support participation in workshops, conferences and professional meetings by Sea Grant professionals relevant to achieving Sea Grant’s mission; • Support workshop logistics and administration, and/or related expenses. All projects must take place within the United States or territories or their respective waterways. Applicant organizations must complete and maintain three registrations to be eligible to apply for or receive an award. These registrations include SAM.gov, Grants.gov, and eRA Commons. All registrations must be completed prior to the application being submitted. The complete registration process for all three systems can take 4 to 6 weeks, so applicants should begin this activity as soon as possible. If an eligible applicant does not have access to the internet, please contact the Agency Contacts listed in Section VII for submission instructions. NOAA has created a guide to aid applicants format application packages to eRA: Tips and Tricks for Successful eRA Submissions, linked here. Prior to registering with eRA Commons, applicant organizations must first obtain a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) from SAM.gov, if needed (refer to Section IV. Applications and Submission Information, Section C). Organizations can register with eRA Commons in tandem with completing their full SAM and Grants.gov registrations; however, all registrations must be in place by time of application submission. eRA Commons requires organizations to identify at least one Signing Official (SO) and at least one Program Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI) account in order to submit an application.
