Opportunity Summary:
The 2011 Marine National Monument Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NOAA NMFS PIRO 2011 2002782) was issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service. It offered discretionary funding in the form of grants and cooperative agreements to support work aligned with NOAA's Marine National Monument Program in the Pacific. The main purpose was to fund projects that help carry out the objectives set out in the Presidential Proclamations that created three Marine National Monuments in 2009 and to advance the management goals being developed for those sites.
The opportunity focused on three newly designated and relatively remote protected areas: the Marianas Trench Marine National Monument, the Rose Atoll Marine National Monument, and the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument. NOAA emphasized that these areas contain largely undisturbed marine ecosystems, including healthy coral reefs, substantial fish biomass, notable populations of apex predators, and important seabird resources. Because formal management plans for these monuments were still being prepared at the time, NOAA framed the funding as a way to support on-the-ground and research-oriented projects that would directly contribute to preserving and protecting monument resources and informing or supporting forthcoming management actions.
From an administrative standpoint, this was categorized under Environment, Natural Resources, and Science and Technology/R&D, and it carried CFDA number 11.429 (Marine Sanctuary Program). NOAA listed an estimated total funding amount of $250,000 for FY 2011 under this announcement. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which typically lowers the barrier to entry for smaller organizations, academic teams, and community-based entities that may not have large pools of non-federal funds to contribute.
Eligibility was intentionally broad. NOAA indicated that individuals, institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations, commercial organizations, and state, local, and Indian tribal governments could apply. Federal agencies and federal employees were explicitly not eligible to apply. NOAA also highlighted its commitment to expanding participation from historically black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, tribal colleges and universities, and institutions that work in underserved areas, signaling that proposals from these types of applicants were encouraged as part of NOAA's broader equity and inclusion goals in federal research and conservation funding.
Key dates show that the announcement was posted and created on January 14, 2011, with an original (and unchanged) closing date of February 28, 2011. The opportunity was later archived on March 30, 2011. Applicants were directed to retrieve the complete funding announcement via the "Full Opportunity" link on the posting page, and a point of contact was provided for access issues: Steve Drescher, Policy Advisor, specifically noted as a contact for application download problems.
In practical terms, this grant program was designed to build capacity and generate actionable work products for the early management phase of these three monuments. Projects that clearly tied their activities to the proclamations' conservation intent and to the developing management goals for the Marianas Trench, Rose Atoll, and Pacific Remote Islands monuments were the core target for funding under this opportunity.
