Opportunity Summary:
The 2014/2015 Atlantic Herring Research Set Aside (RSA) opportunity is a competitive research solicitation run by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), with support from the New England Fishery Management Council, to fund projects that improve science and management information for the Atlantic herring fishery. The central idea is that specific amounts of Atlantic herring quota are set aside for research purposes, and the value of that quota is converted into research support. Projects are expected to directly enhance understanding of Atlantic herring resources and/or strengthen the scientific basis used by the Council when making fishery management decisions, with preference given to proposals that closely align with the Council-defined RSA research priorities described in the full announcement.
A defining feature of this program is how it is funded. Unlike many federal grant programs, this solicitation does not provide traditional federal appropriated research dollars. Instead, research is financed through proceeds generated by selling the RSA quota, and those proceeds can be used both to cover research costs and to compensate fishing vessel owners who harvest the RSA quota. In practical terms, successful proposals are designed around the RSA structure: the project obtains access to set-aside quota, that quota is harvested and sold, and the resulting revenue supports the research activity and the industry participation necessary to carry it out.
The opportunity was posted on June 6, 2013 (created July 10, 2013) and closed on July 22, 2013, with an archive date of August 21, 2013. It is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NOAA NMFS NEFSC 2014 2003767, with the title "2014/2015 Atlantic Herring Research Set Aside." The administering agency is the U.S. Department of Commerce through NMFS, and the program is associated with CFDA number 11.454 (Unallied Management Projects). The activity category is Environment, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development.
Awards under this announcement are identified as grants and/or cooperative agreements (the solicitation lists both instrument types). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of 0, which typically signals that funding levels are not defined as a standard dollar amount because project support depends on the value of RSA quota proceeds rather than a fixed federal funding pool.
Eligibility is broad. The solicitation allows applications from institutions of higher education, hospitals, other nonprofit organizations, commercial organizations, individuals, and state, local, and Native American tribal governments, with the note that applicants should review the full announcement for complete eligibility conditions and any additional requirements.
For access issues or questions related to the announcement, the contact provided is Cheryl A. Corbett at NMFS RSA Program Administration, Northeast Fisheries Science Center, 166 Water Street, Woods Hole, MA 02543, phone 508-495-2070, fax 508-495-2004.
2014/2015 Atlantic Herring Research Set Aside (RSA) - FAQs
What is the 2014/2015 Atlantic Herring Research Set Aside (RSA) opportunity?
It is a competitive research solicitation run by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), with support from the New England Fishery Management Council, to fund projects that improve science and management information for the Atlantic herring fishery.
What is the main purpose of this solicitation?
The program is intended to support projects that directly enhance understanding of Atlantic herring resources and/or strengthen the scientific basis used by the New England Fishery Management Council when making fishery management decisions.
How is this program funded if it is not a typical federal grant?
This solicitation does not provide traditional federal appropriated research dollars. Instead, specific amounts of Atlantic herring quota are set aside for research, and the value of that quota is converted into research support through the sale of the RSA quota.
What does "Research Set Aside (RSA)" mean in this context?
RSA refers to a defined amount of Atlantic herring quota that is set aside specifically to support research. That set-aside quota is harvested and sold, and the resulting proceeds are used to finance research activities.
How does a research project actually receive support under RSA?
Under the RSA structure described, successful proposals are designed around access to set-aside quota. The quota is harvested and sold, and the revenue supports the research and the industry participation needed to carry it out.
Can RSA proceeds be used to pay fishing vessel owners who harvest the quota?
Yes. The proceeds generated by selling the RSA quota can be used both to cover research costs and to compensate fishing vessel owners who harvest the RSA quota.
Who administers this funding opportunity?
The administering agency is the U.S. Department of Commerce through the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). Program administration is associated with the Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC).
Is there a preference for certain types of research proposals?
