Opportunity Summary:
The Alaska Native Organization Co Management Funding Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the Department of Commerce through the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). Its purpose is to support Alaska Native Organizations (ANOs) and Alaska Native Tribes in conserving marine mammals that are important for subsistence and cultural practices, while also strengthening formal co management arrangements between NMFS and Alaska Native partners. The program is grounded in federal authority under 16 U.S.C. 1388 and is implemented through cooperative agreements, meaning the federal agency typically remains actively involved in the project as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back.
Funding under this program is intended to help Alaska Native communities conserve marine mammals that fall under NMFS jurisdiction and to improve the shared management of Alaska Native subsistence use of those species. The types of activities the program can support are broad and practical, including the development and implementation of species management approaches, monitoring of subsistence harvests, collection and sampling of harvest data, scientific research projects that address conservation and management needs, and public education or outreach that improves understanding and stewardship. A key expectation is that proposed work should connect to established conservation priorities where they exist, such as actions identified in an Endangered Species Act Recovery Plan or a Marine Mammal Protection Act Conservation Plan, and should also align with priorities laid out in the funding opportunity itself.
Eligibility is limited to tribally authorized ANOs that have a signed co management agreement with NMFS. The eligible applicant categories include federally recognized tribal governments and Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments, as long as they meet the co management agreement requirement described in the announcement. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for applicants that may have limited access to non federal funds and allows proposals to focus on the strength, feasibility, and relevance of the work plan.
This opportunity was posted on January 8, 2013, with an application closing date of March 31, 2013, and it was archived on April 30, 2013. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, and the program is listed under CFDA number 11.439, Marine Mammal Data Program. The published award ceiling is $1,700,000, and the award floor is listed as $0, indicating flexibility in award size depending on project scope and available funds. The funding opportunity number is NOAA NMFS AK 2013 2003618.
