Opportunity Summary:
The 2014 Fisheries Resource Monitoring Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), through the Office of Subsistence Management in Alaska. Offered under CFDA 15.636 (Alaska Subsistence Management), the program funds projects that produce solid, usable information needed to manage and conserve subsistence fishery resources across Alaska. The emphasis is on investigation plans that collect, analyze, and report data directly relevant to subsistence fisheries management, especially where that information supports decision-making on federal public lands and waters. The program also places strong value on ensuring Alaska Native and rural communities have a meaningful role in fisheries management, and it encourages practical collaboration among federal and state agencies, Alaska Native organizations, and local partners.
This opportunity functions as the single, designated biennial competition through which multiple cooperative agreements are awarded. Proposed work is expected to support subsistence fisheries management on a wide range of federal units and systems in Alaska, including National Wildlife Refuges, National Forests, National Parks and Preserves, National Conservation Areas, National Wild and Scenic River systems, the National Petroleum Reserve, and National Recreation Areas. The legal authorities behind the program include the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 USC 661-667d) and the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, ANILCA (16 USC 3101-3233), reflecting the program's dual focus on conservation and subsistence use.
Applications are evaluated using several core criteria. Reviewers look for alignment with the program's strategic priorities, strong technical and scientific merit, and clear evidence that the investigators have the ability, experience, and resources to deliver the work. Partnership and capacity-building also matter: proposals are expected to show credible collaboration and, where possible, build local or organizational capacity related to fisheries monitoring and management. The announcement also highlights the importance of demonstrating a real community need and, when applicable, providing a quality environmental education component. In practice, that means education or outreach elements should be more than general awareness; they should provide learning opportunities tied to behavioral objectives that support the management and outreach goals of the relevant refuge or management unit. The program further encourages applicants to partner with other FWS programs and/or private partners to stretch funding, coordinate staffing, reduce duplication, and increase on-the-ground impact in participating communities.
From a funding standpoint, the program anticipated about 30 awards with an estimated total of $4,000,000 available. Individual awards ranged from a $4,000 floor to a $400,000 ceiling. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project (for example, coordination, technical involvement, or shared implementation responsibilities). No cost sharing or matching was required. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement.
Key administrative details include Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00043, with the opportunity posted December 12, 2012, and an application closing date of April 4, 2013 (for the 2014 program cycle referenced).
