Opportunity Summary:
The 2009 Fisheries Extension Transition grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NOAA OAR SG 2009 2001730) was a discretionary NOAA National Sea Grant Office (NSGO) competition designed to provide short-term, two-year bridge funding for state-based fisheries extension work. The core purpose was to help Sea Grant programs maintain and carry forward the staff capacity, partnerships, and extension services that had been built under the Fisheries Extension Enhancement (FEE) Initiative, a five-year effort that was scheduled to end on April 30, 2009. In practical terms, NSGO framed this as transition support so programs could keep fisheries extension activities functioning while they shifted from NSGO support to other longer-term funding sources, rather than losing momentum, personnel, or institutional knowledge as the initiative concluded.
Funding was expected to total about $800,000 across the competition, with up to 16 awards anticipated in the posted source data (the narrative description also notes "up to eighteen awards"). Award sizes were generally modest, with a median award around $80,000, and with the maximum allowable amount varying by applicant as specified in the full funding opportunity announcement. The funding instrument was a grant, and the program fell under CFDA 11.417 (Sea Grant Support). The activity focus was aligned with education, environment, natural resources, science and technology, and other research and development, reflecting Sea Grant's applied, stakeholder-facing extension model rather than purely academic research.
Eligibility was narrowly limited. Only the 16 state Sea Grant programs that had actually received FEE Initiative funding between fiscal years 2003 and 2008 (specifically FEE funding, not only regional coordination support) could apply. The eligible programs listed were Alaska, California, Florida, Louisiana, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Virginia, and Washington. This restriction made the competition essentially a targeted transition mechanism for the exact set of programs that had been building fisheries extension capacity under the prior initiative, with the stated goal of retaining that capacity during an orderly funding shift.
The opportunity required cost sharing or matching, meaning applicants needed to contribute non-federal resources in accordance with Sea Grant and/or the specific announcement requirements. Applications had to be submitted through Grants.gov under the specified FFO number by 3:59 pm EDT on April 13, 2009, with timeliness determined by the Grants.gov timestamp during the submission process; hardcopy submissions, if accepted under the terms of the announcement, would be timestamped upon receipt. The opportunity was posted March 23, 2009, with an archive date of May 13, 2009.
Administrative responsibility sat with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) through the National Sea Grant Office. For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Michael Liffmann, Extension Leader, National Sea Grant College Program, located in Silver Spring, Maryland, with phone and email contact information provided (oar.hq.nsgo.competitions@noaa.gov).
