Opportunity Summary:
The 2014 Marine National Monument Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NOAA NMFS PIRO 2014 2004018) is a discretionary, competitive grant program run by the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA/NMFS), specifically tied to NOAA's Marine National Monument Program. The purpose is to fund projects that help carry out the objectives set out in Presidential Proclamations that created three Marine National Monuments in 2009: the Marianas Trench Marine National Monument, the Rose Atoll Marine National Monument, and the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument. These monuments were designated because they represent some of the most intact marine ecosystems under U.S. jurisdiction, with exceptionally healthy coral reefs, high fish biomass, strong seabird populations, and an abundance of apex predators. NOAA notes that management plans for these monuments were being developed at the time, and the agency was seeking proposals that would support the proclamations and align with the emerging management goals for protecting and preserving resources in these remote, difficult-to-access areas.
The program is framed around work that advances conservation, stewardship, and practical management needs for the monuments. While the announcement does not list individual project topics in the excerpt provided, the intent is clear: NOAA is looking for on-the-ground or applied projects that directly contribute to monument protection and management. In practice, projects under a program like this often include activities such as resource monitoring and assessment, applied research that informs management decisions, outreach and education efforts that improve understanding and compliance, and tools or methods that help manage human impacts in remote ocean settings. The funding activity categories identified in the notice include education, environment, and science and technology/other research and development, which signals that NOAA expected proposals spanning both research-oriented and public-facing work, as long as they tie back to the monuments' conservation objectives.
Funding for the opportunity was relatively small and targeted. NOAA expected to make about three awards, with an estimated total program funding level of $183,000. Individual award sizes were set with a floor of $1,000 and a ceiling of $90,000, suggesting the program could support anything from small, focused deliverables to more substantial short-term projects, but not large multi-year efforts. The funding instrument is a grant, and the notice states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for applicants that might not have access to non-federal match funds.
Eligibility was broad and included many common applicant types across public, private, nonprofit, and tribal sectors. Eligible applicants included nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in the nonprofit category specified), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, state governments, county governments, and city or township governments. Tribal participation was also explicitly included, both for federally recognized tribal governments and for other Native American tribal organizations. In addition, for-profit organizations other than small businesses were listed as eligible, and small businesses were also eligible. The listing of CFDA 11.452 (Unallied Industry Projects) identifies the federal assistance catalog category associated with the program.
Key dates show this was a time-limited FY 2014 competition. The opportunity was posted and created on March 6, 2014, originally due on April 11, 2014, and later extended to a current closing date of April 21, 2014. The archive date was May 11, 2014, indicating the opportunity was no longer active after that point. For prospective applicants at the time who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the notice provided a point of contact at NOAA/NMFS Pacific Islands Regional Office: Kara Miller, located in Honolulu, Hawaii, with a phone number listed as 808-944-2147.
Overall, this grant opportunity was designed to generate a small set of practical, mission-aligned projects that help NOAA and partners protect and manage three large, remote, and ecologically valuable Marine National Monuments created in 2009, supporting the transition from designation to effective, science-informed, and education-supported management.
