NOAA Ocean Exploration is pleased to announce its Ocean Exploration Fiscal Year 2025 Funding Opportunity. NOAA Ocean Exploration is soliciting proposals for ocean exploration-related projects under two themes: Ocean Exploration and Maritime Heritage. All proposals must support priorities in the NOAA Ocean Exploration Strategic Plan and should also consider the Strategic Priorities for Ocean Exploration and Characterization of the United States Exclusive Economic Zone.
Proposed projects are not restricted to waters under U.S. jurisdiction, but proposals should address how projects will provide national benefit. The deadline for required pre-proposals is May 30, 2024, at 4:59 p.m. ET. Full proposals are due by October 3, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. ET.

A webinar about the funding opportunity will be held on April 16, 2024, at 3 p.m. EDT. Registration is open. A recording will be posted on the funding opportunities web page after the event. Additional questions may be directed to oer.nofo2025@noaa.gov.
