Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA OAR SG 2025 30385

The FY2025 Sea Grant Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CEC) grant is a funding opportunity from NOAA’s National Sea Grant Office aiming to support research on contaminants affecting coastal and estuarine ecosystems. The program is offering between $400,000 and $1.4 million for one award to develop and manage a future competitive research program targeting CECs such as PFAS. Projects can last up to three years and must include a 50% non-federal funding match.

This opportunity focuses on contaminants that may impact ecological or human health, particularly in species of economic or cultural significance (like commercially or recreationally important shellfish and finfish). Priority research areas include tracking the spread and transformation of CECs within watersheds, studying how these pollutants interact with other environmental stressors, and initiating shorter-term monitoring efforts that could inform long-term strategies.

Eligible applicants are Sea Grant College Programs, Institutional Programs, and Coherent Area Programs. While federal agencies cannot receive funding, they may collaborate in an unofficial capacity. All work must be conducted in the U.S. or its territories.

To apply, organizations must be registered with SAM.gov, Grants.gov, and eRA Commons—a process that may take several weeks. Therefore, early registration is critical. The selected organization may become eligible for additional funding in the future, depending on performance and continued relevance to the Sea Grant mission.
