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.

Best wishes,
Anne
