State Agency Initiated Tier 1 Projects

In order to receive funding, project contacts must provide DCOM with a completed Project Narrative and Budget Narrative using the templates provided below. DCOM will use these documents to apply for the grant from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement (BOEMRE-formerly MMS). Once BOEMRE awards the grant, DCOM will use a reimbursable services agreement (RSA) to pass the funds to the agency conducting the project. Project contacts should allow for at least 6 months to receive the RSA after submitting the completed templates.

Publicly Solicited Projects and Legislatively Named Recipient Projects

Project contacts should work through the Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development (DCCED) to complete the Project Narrative and Budget Narrative templates. DCOM will use these documents to apply for the federal grant from BOEMRE. Once BOEMRE awards the grant, DCOM will use a reimbursable services agreement to pass the funds to DCCED, who will then grant the funds to the organization conducting the project. Project contacts should allow for at least 6 months to receive the grant from DCCED after submitting the completed templates.

Coastal Political Subdivision (CPS) Projects

While DCOM is available to assist the CPSs with the grant application process, each CPS is responsible for applying for its own project grants directly from BOEMRE. The CPSs are encouraged to use the state’s project and budget narrative templates above.
