National Estuarine Research Reserve System Funding / National Estuarine Research Reserve System Applicant Information National Estuarine Research Reserve System Awards Funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Overview and Applicant Information For this Habitat Protection and Restoration Award competition, the focus is on coastal habitat restoration, including ecosystem conservation and habitat restoration planning, engineering, and design.
Recipients are the coastal zone management programs within the coastal states and territories. Fiscal Year 2024 Awards: see project descriptions . Goal: Protect and restore ecologically significant habitats, including conserving lands that play a critical role in helping communities become more resilient to natural hazards.
Total Funding: $77 million in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funds over five years, with $15 million in funds leveraged from the Inflation Reduction Act, to support additional projects from the 2022 and 2023 competitions.
Approximately $15 million per year in competitive and non-competitive program capacity funds, with competitive projects expected to range in cost from approximately $200,000 up to $4 million per project, depending on project type. Eligible Uses: Habitat restoration; habitat restoration planning, engineering, and design; ecosystem conservation. The majority of this funding will support competitively selected projects.
However, non-competitive funds to support program capacity will be available up to $200,000 per year for each reserve to support work plans focused on the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law projects and to address other coastal resilience-related needs in the state. Eligible Applicants: National estuarine research reserves must serve as primary applicants. However, funding can be passed through to non-federal public partners.
Projects within and outside of the reserve boundary are eligible; projects outside the reserve boundary must benefit the reserve, its habitats, and its ecosystem. Matching Requirements: Neither competitive nor non-competitive funds will require a match. However, leveraged funding is strongly encouraged and will be reviewed in evaluations.
