Opportunity Summary:
The 2011 Pacific Islands Regional Office Hawaiian Monk Seal Recovery and Marine Mammal Response Program was a competitive funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). It was designed to support on-the-ground and program-focused work that helps recover the endangered Hawaiian monk seal while also strengthening the capacity to respond to marine mammal strandings across the main Hawaiian Islands. In practical terms, the grant aimed to fund projects that directly contribute to monk seal conservation goals and improve organized, timely response efforts when marine mammals strand, are injured, or otherwise need intervention.
This opportunity fell under a discretionary funding category and could be awarded either as a grant or a cooperative agreement, reflecting that NOAA could have an active role in the project depending on the award structure and the needs of the work. The activity focus aligned with environment, natural resources, and science and technology research and development, and it was listed under CFDA 11.454 (Unallied Management Projects). The program did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which meant applicants were not obligated to provide non-federal dollars as a condition of receiving an award.
NOAA estimated a total of $200,000 in funding available under this announcement. The posting and creation date were January 14, 2011, and the application deadline was February 15, 2011, with an archive date of March 17, 2011. Because it was a competitive solicitation, proposals were expected to be evaluated against program needs and merit, with selected projects supporting specific recovery and response priorities in Hawaii.
Eligibility was broad and included individuals, colleges and universities, nonprofit organizations, commercial organizations, and state, local, and federally recognized tribal governments. Federal agencies and federal employees were not eligible to apply. NOAA also emphasized its interest in expanding participation among historically underrepresented institutions and communities, including historically Black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, tribal colleges and universities, and institutions that work in underserved areas. Proposals involving these entities were explicitly encouraged, signaling an effort to broaden who participates in and benefits from federally supported marine conservation work.
Applicants needing the complete announcement details were directed to access the full opportunity posting through the "Full Opportunity" link in the original listing. For technical problems related to downloading the application materials, the listed point of contact was Steve Drescher, Policy Advisor.
