Hi All, I'm an acoustic ecologist with NOAA, and my research uses underwater acoustic recordings to study marine mammal ecology, behavior, and the impacts of human noise.
NOAA recently announced a small business grant opportunity, with a subtopic related to citizen science and education (subtopic 9.5 in the full announcement): https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=329444 There's a strong interest among many NOAA acoustics researchers (including myself!) to develop acoustic analysis tools for applications in education and citizen science. For example, a web-based spectrogram annotation tool would be very useful not only for us, but also the greater community of bioacoustics, speech recognition and machine learning. I imagine all of you likely have a bunch of creative ideas that this funding might also be able to support! The grant is a multi-phase program, with funding available for $150k for the first 6 months and potentially $500k for 2 years after that. Application period closes Jan 13, 2021. If you are part of a small business that might be interested in submitting a proposal, I'd be happy to talk more with you about your ideas and our needs. Feel free to reach out to me at anne.simonis at noaa.gov to set up a time to chat.
