Opportunity Summary:
The 2015 Partnerships for Hawaiian Monk Seal Recovery and Marine Mammal Response in the Pacific Islands Region grant opportunity was a competitive NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) funding program aimed at supporting on-the-ground conservation and response work in Hawaii and the U.S. Pacific Island territories. It focused on two closely related priorities: (1) activities that directly promote the recovery of the endangered Hawaiian monk seal, and (2) efforts that strengthen or carry out marine mammal stranding response in the main Hawaiian Islands and in U.S. Territories. In practical terms, the program was designed to fund partnership projects that help NMFS and local communities address key recovery needs for monk seals while also improving readiness and capacity to respond when marine mammals strand or require assistance.
The opportunity was issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce through NMFS, Pacific Islands Regional Office (PIRO), and it was offered as either a grant or a cooperative agreement, indicating that some projects could involve substantial federal involvement or coordination depending on the nature of the work. The program fell under CFDA 11.454 (Unallied Management Projects) and was categorized in the environment, natural resources, and science and technology/research and development space. NOAA anticipated making about five awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $180,000. Individual awards could be as high as $40,000, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). Cost sharing or matching funds were not required, which can lower barriers for smaller organizations or community-based efforts that may not have additional funding to contribute.
Eligibility was broad and included individuals, nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), K-12 independent school districts, institutions of higher education (public, private, and state-controlled), and a wide range of government entities (state, county, city/township, special district, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities). It also included Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and other tribal organizations. This wide eligibility reflects the partnership-driven nature of marine mammal conservation and stranding response, which often involves universities, local governments, community groups, and specialized responders working alongside NOAA.
The timeline for the solicitation shows it was posted on October 22, 2014, with an application deadline of January 20, 2015. The opportunity was later archived on February 19, 2015. Applicants who needed help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact NOAA/NMFS Pacific Islands Regional Office in Honolulu, Hawaii, with a listed phone number (808-725-5056) and a point of contact email (Kara.Miller@noaa.gov).
