Opportunity Summary:
The 2013 Partnerships for the Marine Mammal Response and Hawaiian Monk Seal Recovery Programs grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NOAA NMFS PIRO 2013 2003616) was issued by the Department of Commerce through NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Pacific Islands Regional Office. The purpose of the competition was to fund targeted, program-specific work that supports either marine mammal response activities or efforts tied directly to Hawaiian monk seal recovery. The announcement makes clear that proposals could include education and outreach components, alongside other practical activities that contribute to response capacity, recovery actions, or related applied work in the Pacific Islands region.
This was a discretionary funding opportunity offering support through either grants or cooperative agreements, meaning NMFS could fund projects with varying levels of agency involvement depending on the award type and project needs. The program was positioned within broad activity categories including education, environment, and science and technology/research and development, reflecting that eligible projects could range from public-facing education to technical or operational response and recovery work, as long as the proposed activities aligned with the program goals.
Funding under the notice was expected to total no more than $100,000, with the agency anticipating approximately two awards. Individual awards were expected to fall between $30,000 (award floor) and $70,000 (award ceiling). The announcement also emphasized that the availability of funds depended on FY 2013 Congressional appropriations, so final award decisions and amounts were contingent on actual appropriated funding. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally lowers the barrier to entry for applicants that may not have non-federal funds available.
Eligibility was broad and included many organization types that might reasonably contribute to marine mammal response and monk seal recovery. Eligible applicants included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, state governments, county governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, other tribal organizations, small businesses, other for-profit organizations, and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (with the noted exclusions around institutions of higher education depending on the nonprofit category). In practice, this structure allowed academic teams, nonprofits, local governments, and private-sector partners to compete for support, which fits the "partnerships" framing of the program.
Applications were competitively reviewed and selected by NMFS, meaning proposals needed to stand out on merit and alignment with the program's stated objectives rather than being formula allocations. Key dates in the posting show it was posted January 11, 2013, with a closing deadline of March 15, 2013, and an archive date of April 14, 2013. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity was 11.454 (Unallied Management Projects).
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed program contact was Kara Miller at NOAA/NMFS Pacific Islands Regional Office, 1601 Kapiolani Blvd, Honolulu, HI 96814, telephone 808-944-2147.
