Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS USCG SURVEY 2023
The Boating Safety Data Collection and Analysis Grant is a discretionary funding opportunity from the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Coast Guard, focused on building a stronger nationwide evidence base for recreational boating safety. The core purpose is to collect and analyze data across the United States to produce the National Recreational Boating Safety Survey (NRBSS). In addition to creating the survey products themselves, the award also supports related consulting and analytical support to help measure recreational boating activity using the data gathered through the effort. A key condition is that all deliverables and supporting materials must be reviewed and approved by the U.S. Coast Guard.
The grant is structured to produce two major survey deliverables, along with the underlying methodologies, datasets, and supporting analytical work. The first is a Participation Survey designed to estimate how many people participate in recreational boating nationwide and to describe the demographics of that participating population. This deliverable is meant to provide a clear picture of who is boating in the United States, supporting better understanding of the boating public and helping inform safety policy, outreach, and program design. The second is an Exposure Survey designed to estimate exposure hours and other metrics describing how much time recreational boats spend on the water, broken out by state. This exposure-focused work helps translate participation into activity levels, which is critical for measuring risk and interpreting safety outcomes (for example, understanding incidents relative to time spent boating).
Beyond the two headline surveys, the opportunity explicitly anticipates additional materials that make the work usable and defensible for national safety planning. That includes the associated methodologies (how sampling, weighting, data collection, and analysis are done), the datasets produced, ad hoc analyses requested as needs arise, and other related documentation or materials necessary to support interpretation and application of the results. The overall intent is to produce standardized, Coast Guard-approved survey outputs that can be used to measure recreational boating activity consistently across the country and over time.
Administratively, this opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. Coast Guard is likely to remain substantively involved during the project period, particularly given the approval requirement for deliverables. The funding opportunity number is DHS USCG SURVEY 2023, and it falls under CFDA 97.012. Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was created on May 25, 2023, with an original application closing date of July 26, 2023. The award ceiling is $1,500,000, and the Coast Guard expected to make one award, indicating a single recipient would likely be responsible for executing the full national data collection and analysis effort.Apply for DHS USCG SURVEY 2023

What is the main purpose of this grant?
The core purpose is to collect and analyze recreational boating data across the United States in order to produce standardized, Coast Guard-approved survey outputs that can be used for national safety planning and for measuring recreational boating activity consistently across the country and over time.
What is the NRBSS?
NRBSS stands for the National Recreational Boating Safety Survey. Under this opportunity, the NRBSS is produced through national data collection and analysis efforts that result in survey products, supporting methodologies, datasets, and related documentation.
What are the two major survey deliverables expected under this award?
The grant is structured around two major deliverables: (1) a Participation Survey and (2) an Exposure Survey, along with the underlying methodologies, datasets, and supporting analytical work.
What is the Participation Survey supposed to measure?

What is the Exposure Survey supposed to measure?
The Exposure Survey is designed to estimate exposure hours and other metrics describing how much time recreational boats spend on the water, with results broken out by state. This helps translate participation into activity levels and supports interpreting safety outcomes relative to time spent boating.
Why is estimating exposure hours important for boating safety?
Exposure measures help put safety outcomes in context by relating incidents or outcomes to how much time people are actually boating. The opportunity describes this as critical for measuring risk and interpreting safety outcomes, such as understanding incidents relative to time spent boating.
Besides the surveys, what additional deliverables or materials are anticipated?
Beyond the two headline surveys, the opportunity anticipates additional materials needed to make the work usable and defensible for national safety planning.
