Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2012 Monkfish Research Set Aside (RSA) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NOAA NMFS NEFSC 2012 2003093) is a NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) solicitation, coordinated with the New England and Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Councils, to support applied research that improves management of the monkfish fishery. Instead of offering traditional federal grant dollars, this program makes available 500 Monkfish Days at Sea (DAS) that have been set aside specifically to generate research funding. Successful projects are expected to use these set-aside fishing days as the mechanism to pay for the work, meaning the research is effectively financed by the proceeds from monkfish harvested during those DAS.
A key point of this program is that the estimated total federal funding is listed as $0 because no federal funds are provided under the announcement. The money that supports research activities (and compensation for vessels involved in the research and/or in harvesting the set-aside quota) comes from selling monkfish caught under the set-aside DAS. In practice, applicants need to design projects that can realistically be executed under this kind of “industry-generated funding” model, including how fishing effort will be used to produce revenue, how participating vessels will be arranged and compensated, and how the research will be carried out alongside or integrated with harvesting activity.
The work proposed must have clear management relevance. Projects must either enhance knowledge of the monkfish resource and fishery or add to the information base used for monkfish management decisions. Priority is explicitly given to proposals that address research needs identified by the Councils and described in the announcement’s Program Priorities section, so competitiveness depends heavily on aligning the proposed objectives with those identified priorities and demonstrating how results will inform decision-making.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and supports awards via cooperative agreement or grant, under CFDA 11.454 (Unallied Management Projects). NOAA anticipated up to 12 awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. The announcement was posted August 18, 2011, created August 23, 2011, and the application deadline was extended from September 12, 2011 to October 7, 2011, with an archive date of October 12, 2011.
Eligibility is broad and includes county governments; federally recognized tribal governments; nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and individuals. This broad eligibility reflects the program’s applied nature and its reliance on collaboration between researchers and fishing industry participants.

FAQs: Fiscal Year 2012 Monkfish Research Set Aside (RSA)
What is this funding opportunity?
This is the Fiscal Year 2012 Monkfish Research Set Aside (RSA) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NOAA NMFS NEFSC 2012 2003093), a NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) solicitation coordinated with the New England and Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Councils. It supports applied research intended to improve management of the monkfish fishery.
What does "Research Set Aside (RSA)" mean in this program?
Instead of providing traditional federal grant dollars, the program sets aside fishing effort specifically to generate research funding.
