Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Research Program (CRP) is a competitive federal assistance opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). It is designed to fund applied research projects that strengthen and expand hands-on collaboration among NMFS scientists, state fishery agencies, universities, and the U.S. fishing industry, including both recreational and commercial participants. The program is rooted in the idea that fisheries science and management work best when the people collecting data, analyzing it, and living with the results are working together from the start. A central motivation behind the program, as described in the announcement, is Congress's intent to make NMFS more transparent and to improve confidence among fishermen and other stakeholders in the data and analyses used to support fisheries management decisions.
Geographically, CRP focuses on marine fisheries issues affecting three major regions: the Gulf of Mexico (Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas), the South Atlantic (Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia), and the U.S. Caribbean (Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands). Projects supported under CRP are expected to contribute to better working relationships and more credible, trusted science in these areas, typically by involving fishermen and other partners directly in research design, data collection, and interpretation. The program falls under CFDA 11.454 (Unallied Management Projects) and supports activities aligned with education, environmental work, and science and technology research and development.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates a more collaborative federal role than a standard grant. While the specific scope of individual projects can vary, the overall emphasis is on cooperative, stakeholder-engaged research that improves the quality, relevance, and acceptance of fisheries information used for management. The announcement anticipated making about 8 awards, with an estimated total program funding level of $2,000,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $25,000 (floor) up to $300,000 (ceiling). The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can lower barriers for applicants who may not have access to non-federal contributions.
Eligibility was broad and included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, state and local governments (including county and city/township governments), federally recognized Native American tribal governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, individuals, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. This wide eligibility fits the program's collaborative intent, making it possible for academic, governmental, nonprofit, and industry-linked entities to propose projects, often in partnership with fishermen and fisheries management or research bodies.
The funding opportunity number for this announcement was NOAA NMFS SE 2014 2003763. It was posted on May 30, 2013, originally due July 31, 2013, and later extended to an updated closing date of August 30, 2013, with an archive date of September 29, 2013. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Dax Ruiz in the State/Federal Liaison Branch, reachable by phone at (727) 824-5324.
