Opportunity Summary:
The 2017 Saltonstall-Kennedy (S-K) Competitive Research Program is a federal grant and cooperative agreement opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAA Fisheries (NMFS). It is funded under the Saltonstall-Kennedy Act, which created the S-K fund to support practical fisheries research and development that benefits U.S. commercial and recreational fisheries. In this program, "fisheries" is interpreted broadly to include wild capture fisheries, marine aquaculture, and recreational fishing, and it can cover the full chain of activity around fisheries, including harvesting methods, seafood processing, marketing, and the business infrastructure that supports fishing communities and working waterfronts.
The central purpose of the S-K program is to strengthen fishing communities by helping them optimize economic benefits while maintaining sustainable fisheries and responsible fishing practices. A key theme is supporting projects that help fisheries and related businesses adapt to and operate successfully under conservation and management measures, including strategies that reduce negative impacts from regulations while still meeting sustainability goals. The program also emphasizes leveraging and sustaining existing infrastructure, with an eye toward keeping working waterfronts economically viable and supporting long-term community resilience tied to fisheries.
To be responsive, proposals must address at least one of the stated program priorities. These priority areas include marine aquaculture; fisheries data collection; techniques for reducing bycatch and other adverse impacts; adapting to climate change and other long-term ecosystem change; promotion, development, and marketing (which can include market expansion, product development, and improving consumer access or demand); socio-economic research; and territorial science, reflecting an interest in geographically diverse fisheries issues, including U.S. territories. In practical terms, the program is looking for applied research and development that can be taken up by industry, managers, communities, or the broader seafood sector, and that produces outcomes relevant to real-world fisheries needs.
Funding is offered competitively and is subject to the availability of appropriations. For this 2017 competition, applicants could request up to $300,000 in total federal funding for projects lasting up to two years. Importantly, matching funds are not required, which can make the program more accessible to applicants who might not have non-federal cost share available. The funding opportunity anticipated making around 50 awards. Projects funded under this announcement were expected to start no earlier than September 1, 2017.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as NOAA NMFS FHQ 2017 2004980, categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity, and supports research and development activities in environment, natural resources, science and technology, and related fields. The CFDA number listed is 11.427. The announcement was created July 22, 2016, with an original closing date of December 9, 2016. Eligibility is listed as "Others," with further clarification expected in the full eligibility section of the official notice, which typically means applicants should verify specific organizational types and any special conditions directly in the full funding announcement before applying.
