Opportunity Information: Apply for M17AS00002
The BOEM FY 2017 Environmental Studies Program opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number M17AS00002) was a targeted cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), Alaska Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Region. Its goal was to fund a Health Impact Assessment (HIA) focused on the proposed Liberty Development Project in the Beaufort Sea, with the larger intent of improving how public health considerations are understood and communicated during offshore oil and gas decision-making in Alaska's North Slope region.
At the center of the project is the idea that BOEM's environmental reviews, including analyses conducted under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), can benefit from additional community health information that NEPA documents may not fully capture. The HIA described in the announcement was meant to verify and strengthen BOEM's existing analyses by adding a broader look at potential public health impacts tied to offshore energy development. In other words, it was designed to complement (not replace) NEPA work by supplying decision-makers and the public with more specific health-related context that can be difficult to integrate into standard environmental impact documentation.
The intended audience and beneficiaries were explicitly community-oriented: the State of Alaska, the North Slope Borough, the Inupiat Community of the Arctic Slope, and residents of Alaska North Slope communities more generally. The assessment was expected to examine both potential positive and negative health impacts associated with oil and gas development and production, considering activities occurring offshore and onshore in the North Slope area. This framing suggests a broad public health lens that could include issues such as community well-being, potential exposure pathways, and other social and health-related effects that communities may experience alongside industrial development.
Methodologically, the study was scoped around collecting and analyzing existing and accessible data rather than generating entirely new datasets. A key motivation for doing so was the acknowledged lack of comprehensive statistics describing baseline health and nutritional status for residents in the region. By compiling available information and analyzing it in a structured way, the HIA was intended to provide a clearer baseline and a better overview of how development could influence public health over time, particularly in an area where standardized health indicators may be incomplete or not consistently available.
Administratively, this was not an open solicitation. It was a discretionary funding opportunity structured as a cooperative agreement (not a standard grant), which typically implies substantial involvement or collaboration by the federal agency during the project. Eligibility was limited to state governments, and the announcement specifically described a project that "may be awarded to the Alaska Department of Natural Resources," with the award contingent on BOEM receiving an acceptable proposal. The opportunity listed an expected single award, with a funding ceiling of $40,000. The notice was created on October 25, 2016, with an original closing date of November 25, 2016, indicating a defined and time-limited window aligned with BOEM's planning needs around the Liberty Development Project review process.Apply for M17AS00002
