INTRODUCTION
This website contains the necessary instructions and forms for preparation
of an application package for a NOAA Coastal Ocean Program (COP) proposal
submission. The information package provided here is taken from the current
standard NOAA Grants & Cooperative Agreement Application Package released
by the NOAA Grants Management Division.
Please note that it is unlawful to use Federal financial assistance awards
for any activities or contacts to influence legislation pending before Congress
or the negotiation, award or administration of a pending award. In particular,
such awards may not be used for activities which involve direct contact
with legislators or indirect contact with legislators through 'grassroots'
(advising constituents to contact their legislators) lobbying. The application
package has information regarding standard conditions which prohibit lobbying,
including certification by applicants that the awards will not be used for
lobbying.
Also included on this web site is a copy of the most current general Federal
Register Notice for COP and links to Announcements of Funding Opportunity
prepared by COP that outline specific requirements and criteria. Please
read the Notice and Announcements carefully. Also on this web site we have
provided links to specific locations of importance on the websites of NOAA
Grants Management Division (GMD) and the White
House Office of Management and Budget.
