The Coastal Habitat Restoration and Resilience Grants for Tribes and Underserved Communities is a funding opportunity from NOAA designed to help tribes, tribal entities, and underserved communities engage in coastal habitat restoration. Up to $45 million is available, with $20 million dedicated specifically to Indian tribes and Native American organizations through direct awards and subawards. The remaining $25 million is open to all eligible applicants.
The program prioritizes initiatives that build community resilience, support scientific research, and restore coastal, estuarine, marine, and Great Lakes habitats. Eligible activities include capacity building (such as hiring staff and planning efforts), science support (like climate and habitat data collection), and on-the-ground restoration projects. Competitive applications must demonstrate direct benefits to tribes or underserved communities and incorporate meaningful community engagement.
This initiative aligns with NOAA's broader efforts to enhance coastal resilience, addressing risks like hurricanes, flooding, and sea level rise. It is also part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Justice40 Initiative, ensuring that disadvantaged communities receive at least 40% of federal investment benefits.
Applicants must demonstrate status as or connections to tribal entities or underserved communities. Federal agencies cannot apply, but may collaborate as partners. Projects must take place in U.S. coastal, estuarine, marine, or Great Lakes areas, with eligibility extending to projects in U.S. territories but excluding those in the Freely Associated States.
NOAA anticipates awards ranging from $250,000 to $1 million over three years, with a maximum of $3 million for projects that combine restoration, science support, and capacity-building. Proposals will be funded through cooperative agreements, with NOAA ensuring alignment with demographic and economic data. The program does not require matching funds.Apply for NOAA NMFS HCPO 2023 2008173
