a. ONR funding supporting this BAA is for applied research and valued at approximately $6.7M. Other NOPP-contributing agencies may support other areas of research; resulting in an estimated Target Funding of up to $15M over a five year period. The $15M includes partner funds that may be dollars or in-kind resources and infrastructure support from NOPP member agencies, to further our predictive capabilities for the global coupled environment. b. Total Amount of Funding Available: Approximately $1.25M (or more) per year over three years, subject to appropriation and final approval by the Interagency Working Group on Ocean Partnerships (IWG-OP). The size of awards depends upon the types of proposals submitted, but will likely range from $100K to $500K per year for three years, with the possibility of an additional two year option. The upper bound is intended to allow for the possibility of partnerships between multiple institutions if a larger team effort is proposed. c. Anticipated Number of Awards: 4-8. An Offeror may propose on more than one Topic. d. Anticipated Range of Individual Award Amounts: from $100,000 to $500,000 per year. e. Anticipated Period of Performance for Awards: 1 to 3 years, with the potential for an additional two-year option.
