Opportunity Summary:
The 2010 Fisheries Resource Monitoring Program is a competitive federal funding opportunity run by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Office of Subsistence Management under CFDA 15.636 (Alaska Subsistence Management). Its main purpose is to support technically sound research and monitoring projects that produce the information needed to manage and conserve subsistence fishery resources in Alaska, especially in ways that directly inform subsistence fisheries management decisions. A major emphasis is also placed on strengthening meaningful participation in fisheries management by Alaska Native and rural organizations and encouraging collaboration among federal, state, Alaska Native, and local partners.
Projects are expected to focus on gathering, analyzing, and reporting information relevant to subsistence fisheries management on federal public lands in Alaska. The announcement specifically references work connected to places such as National Wildlife Refuges, National Forests, National Parks and Preserves, National Conservation Areas, National Wild and Scenic River Systems, National Petroleum Reserves, and National Recreation Areas. Funding may be provided through more than one instrument type, including cooperative agreements and procurement contracts, and the program uses a single annual Request for Proposals process to make multiple awards.
The program’s annual funding level is about $7 million, but because some funds are committed to ongoing multi-year projects, not all of that amount is available for new awards each year. For the 2010 cycle, the opportunity indicates that roughly $6.5 million is expected to be available for new monitoring and research projects, with the remainder already obligated to existing projects. Individual awards are anticipated to range from $10,000 to $700,000, with an estimated total funding amount of $7,000,000 and about 80 expected awards. Proposals can request support for up to four years, particularly for long-term monitoring efforts, and new projects can also be proposed for durations up to four years.
The program is explicit about what it will not fund. Activities outside the Monitoring Program’s scope include habitat protection, mitigation, restoration, and enhancement; hatchery propagation, restoration, enhancement, and supplementation; and contaminant assessment, evaluation, and monitoring. While these topics may be important to fisheries, the announcement states they are better handled by the appropriate land management or regulatory agencies rather than through this monitoring program. The program also excludes projects where the primary objective is capacity building (for example, science camps, technician training programs, or internships). That said, capacity building is encouraged when it is a secondary benefit of a project, and partnerships and capacity building are used as ranking criteria when proposals are evaluated.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of applicant may apply as long as they meet any clarifications stated in the full announcement. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted November 20, 2008, and proposals were due to the Office of Subsistence Management by January 12, 2009 at 5:00 PM Alaska time. The funding opportunity number is 701819R123, and the solicitation was posted on fedbizopps.gov and grants.gov.
