Passing this NAS opportunity along

"Opportunity
The intent of this funding opportunity is to strengthen the capacity of community networks and to enhance the impact of their work. Proposed projects should focus on networks that strive to use data, research findings, and scientific approaches to improve the environments and/or health and well-being of communities in coastal regions along the U.S. outer continental shelf. We seek to support work relevant to the Gulf Research Program’s mission and that contributes to addressing chronic or emerging challenges in coastal regions that can be exacerbated by offshore oil and gas operations or natural disasters. Funding could support activities that pilot test new approaches or evaluate past approaches to developing and sustaining cross-boundary connections and activities; activities that extend existing programming to new stakeholders; or activities that foster the development of skills, competencies, and capabilities that have been shown to support cross-boundary discussions and action (e.g., development of leadership skills, science literacy, communication skills, effective collaborations and partnerships).

Who Should Apply
The focus is on nonprofit and community organizations that seek to use science and to empower people to improve coastal environments and/or the health and well-being of coastal residents. Partnerships with academic institutions are allowed, but project leadership and management should be in the hands of the applying nonprofit, non-academic, community and/or regionally-focused organization."
