Full Description of Opportunity:
The purpose of this document is to advise the public that NOS/CSCOR is
soliciting proposals for the Oceans and Human Health Initiative External
Grants Program. This funding opportunity is offered as part of NOAA?s new
Oceans and Human Health Initiative (OHHI), recently established by the
Oceans and Human Health Act passed by Congress December 8,  2004.   
The OHHI is a competitive suite of programs designed to enhance
understanding of the connections between the oceans and human health, with
the goal of providing useful research and predictive information to NOAA,
public health officials, and natural resource managers.  For the purposes
of this announcement, ?oceans? are defined as inclusive of the Great
Lakes, estuaries and the ocean.  The OHHI is designed to enhance NOAA?s
capability in oceans and human health through partnerships with academia,
the private sector, and other Federal, State, and local agencies. Toward
that end, this funding opportunity is intended to engage the non-federal
research community in research across the physical, chemical, biological,
medical, public health and social sciences on priority issues for the
OHHI.  A non-federal partner shall lead the proposal. Participation of
federal scientist(s)on the team is allowed but no federal expenses will be
covered. Applicants are encouraged to collaborate with the NOAA Oceans and
Human Health Centers of Excellence
(http://www.ogp.noaa.gov/mpe/ohi/index.htm), the National Science
Foundation/National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Centers of
Excellence in Oceans and Human Health, NOAA scientists and other federal
and non-federal researchers working on OHHI or related issues as described
in this announcement.  Applicants will be required to provide a plan for
management and submission of data to NOAA from any supported research, to
participate in an annual OHHI research meeting, and to provide information
for the development of an annual OHHI report required by Congress.
