Opportunity Summary:
The Alaska Native Organization Co Management Funding Program is a National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) grant opportunity designed to support Alaska Native Organizations (ANOs) that work directly on conserving marine mammals that are important for subsistence. The program is grounded in federal authority under 16 U.S.C. 1388 and is built around the idea of co management, meaning NMFS and Alaska Native partners collaboratively plan and carry out actions that sustain marine mammal populations while supporting Alaska Native subsistence use. Funding is provided through cooperative agreements, which typically involve active federal involvement and coordination rather than a hands-off grant arrangement.
This opportunity focuses specifically on marine mammals that fall under NMFS jurisdiction and is not intended for species managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The work NMFS is looking to fund centers on practical conservation and management needs tied to subsistence species. Examples of eligible activities include creating or carrying out species management efforts, monitoring subsistence harvests, collecting harvest samples, conducting scientific research that helps inform management decisions, and delivering public education and outreach. NMFS also emphasizes alignment with existing federal conservation direction, encouraging applicants to connect their projects to priority actions in Endangered Species Act recovery plans or Marine Mammal Protection Act conservation plans when those plans apply, as well as to the specific priorities laid out in the funding announcement.
Eligibility is limited to tribally authorized ANOs that already have a signed co management agreement with NMFS and are in good standing with the agency. In other words, this is not an open competition for all organizations; it is targeted funding for established co management partners who are already formally working with NMFS. The announcement also notes that applicants should read the full notice carefully because some elements changed from the prior year, and it provides guidance on how proposals must be prepared and how NMFS will decide which projects receive awards.
For fiscal year 2014, NMFS anticipated making about seven awards with an estimated total funding pool of $1.6 million. Individual awards were expected to range from a $50,000 floor up to an $800,000 ceiling, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was listed under NOAA funding opportunity number NOAA NMFS AK 2014 2003984, categorized as a discretionary program using cooperative agreements, with an activity emphasis spanning environment and science and technology research and development. The application window opened with a posted date of January 21, 2014, and an application deadline of April 7, 2014, after which the opportunity was archived on May 7, 2014. For access issues related to the full announcement, the notice referenced a contact person, Jenn Hall Brown, for assistance.
