Opportunity Information: Apply for OIA CRNR 2024
The OIA Coral Reef and Natural Resources Program 2024 is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the Office of Insular Affairs. It is designed to fund practical, on-the-ground work that strengthens the management and protection of coral reef ecosystems and supports broader natural resource priorities, with a clear emphasis on efforts that help prevent, control, or reduce the impacts of invasive species in U.S. insular areas. In short, the program is meant to help island communities safeguard high-value natural resources that are closely tied to environmental health, coastal resilience, and local livelihoods.
Funding is provided as a grant under CFDA number 15.875, within the environment funding activity category. The announcement lists an award ceiling of $300,000 per award, indicating the maximum amount available for a single project under this cycle. The opportunity was created on October 26, 2023, and the original application closing date was March 15, 2024. While the notice references expected awards, a specific number is not provided in the source details shared, so applicants typically need to consult the full announcement for any additional information on anticipated funding levels, selection volume, or program priorities for that year.
Eligibility is focused on non-federal entities connected to, or directly serving, the U.S. insular areas covered by the program. Eligible applicants include local government agencies (and the notice explicitly notes that this can include local hospitals or health centers and utilities), as well as institutions of higher education located in the covered jurisdictions. The geographic scope includes Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, along with the Freely Associated States: the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau. In addition, nonprofit organizations may apply if their mission directly benefits these seven insular areas, which is an important point for regional or mainland-based nonprofits that can clearly document direct programmatic benefits to the islands.
Administrative and compliance expectations are tied to the federal assistance rules in Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 200 (2 CFR 200), which sets the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards. This means applicants should be prepared to follow standard federal grant management requirements related to budgeting, cost allowability, procurement, financial controls, reporting, and audits, consistent with 2 CFR 200. The notice also highlights a specific restriction from 2 CFR 200.444: the Office of Insular Affairs cannot provide funding to the judicial branch of local governments. Applicants are directed to the Application Package Checklist section of the full announcement for required components and submission details, which typically includes the forms, narrative sections, budget documents, and certifications needed for a complete and reviewable application package.
Overall, this opportunity is aimed at supporting island-based and island-serving organizations with projects that measurably improve coral reef management and protect natural resources, particularly by addressing invasive species threats, while operating within standard federal grant rules and eligibility limits set by DOI/OIA and 2 CFR 200.Apply for OIA CRNR 2024
