Opportunity Summary:
The 2016 Alaska Fisheries Subsistence Management grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00052) is a biennial competitive funding program run by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior, through the Office of Subsistence Management (OSM). It supports the Fisheries Resource Monitoring Program, which funds projects that collect, analyze, and report scientific and technical information needed to manage and conserve subsistence fishery resources in Alaska. The core purpose is practical: produce usable monitoring and research results that help managers make informed subsistence fisheries decisions, especially in settings where good local and biological data are necessary to sustain fish populations and protect subsistence opportunities.
A key requirement is that funded work must directly support subsistence fisheries management on Federal public lands in Alaska. The opportunity is specifically limited to studies tied to Federal land units such as National Wildlife Refuges, National Forests, National Parks and Preserves, National Conservation Areas, National Wild and Scenic River Systems, National Petroleum Reserves, and National Recreation Areas. In other words, it is not a general fisheries research grant for Alaska statewide; proposed projects need to be clearly connected to information needs for subsistence fisheries occurring on, or managed in relation to, these Federal public lands.
The program is also designed to strengthen participation and collaboration in fisheries management. Beyond generating technical information, it emphasizes meaningful involvement by Alaska Native and rural organizations and encourages cooperative work across Federal agencies, the State of Alaska, Alaska Native entities, and local organizations. This focus reflects the realities of subsistence management in Alaska, where effective decision-making often depends on combining scientific monitoring with local expertise and ensuring that communities most affected by management decisions have a real role in producing and interpreting the information used.
Funding is offered through cooperative agreements, which typically implies more active Federal involvement in the project compared to a standard grant. The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development activity category. Approximately 40 awards were expected under this competition, with an estimated total program funding level of $4,000,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $0 up to a ceiling of $375,000, and the announcement stated there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for organizations that may not have large non-federal funding sources.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of applicant could apply, subject to any clarifications in the full announcement. This can include tribes, Alaska Native organizations, local governments, state agencies, universities, nonprofit organizations, and other qualified entities, so long as the proposed work meets the program goals and the geographic and management relevance requirements tied to Federal public lands and subsistence fisheries information needs.
The opportunity was posted on December 19, 2014, created in January 2015, and had an application deadline of March 11, 2015, with the notice archived on April 13, 2015. It is associated with CFDA number 15.636 (Alaska Subsistence Management). The legal authority for the program includes the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 USC 661 to 667(d)) and the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, ANILCA (16 USC 3101 to 3233), which together provide the framework for coordinating fish and wildlife conservation efforts and protecting subsistence uses on Federal public lands in Alaska.
