Opportunity Summary:
The 2012 Partnerships for the Marine Mammal Response and Hawaiian Monk Seal Recovery Program was a competitive federal grant opportunity offered by the Department of Commerce through NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), specifically aligned with NMFS efforts in Hawaii. The program was designed to fund projects that directly support two closely related priorities in the main Hawaiian Islands: advancing recovery actions for the endangered Hawaiian monk seal and strengthening the capacity to respond to marine mammal strandings. In practical terms, the opportunity focused on on-the-ground, programmatic work that would improve survival and recovery outcomes for monk seals while also supporting organized, effective stranding response activities for marine mammals more broadly.
The funding was offered under the federal assistance framework as either a grant or a cooperative agreement, meaning awards could range from relatively hands-off financial support (a traditional grant) to a more collaborative arrangement where NOAA/NMFS has substantial involvement in project implementation (a cooperative agreement). The opportunity fell within environment, natural resources, and science and technology/research and development activity areas, and it was listed under CFDA 11.454 (Unallied Management Projects). The estimated total funding available for the competition was $110,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowered the barrier for applicants who might not have access to non-federal matching funds.
Eligibility was broad and included individuals, colleges and universities, nonprofit organizations, commercial organizations, and state, local, and federally recognized tribal governments. Federal agencies, federal instrumentalities, and federal employees were explicitly not eligible to apply. NOAA also emphasized its interest in broadening participation and encouraged proposals involving historically black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, tribal colleges and universities, and organizations working in underserved areas. This emphasis signaled that, beyond technical merit, NMFS was attentive to expanding who participates in and benefits from federal marine conservation and response work.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on December 19, 2011, with an original closing date of February 15, 2012. The deadline was later extended to March 16, 2012 due to budgetary uncertainties, and the notice was archived on April 15, 2012. The funding opportunity number associated with this announcement was NOAA NMFS PIRO 2012 2003228. Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement for complete requirements and instructions, and a contact was provided for technical difficulties accessing the application materials electronically: Steve Drescher, Policy Advisor (specifically for application download issues).
