Opportunity Summary:
The Fisheries International Cooperation and Assistance Program (FICAP) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Commerce, administered through NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), specifically its Office of International Affairs and Seafood Inspection (IASI). The FY 2016 announcement solicits applications for special projects and programs that support IASI's strategic plan and mission goals, with an emphasis on work that advances international fisheries cooperation, seafood inspection-related priorities, and related NMFS international objectives. In practical terms, the program is meant to back targeted efforts that fit within IASI's mission, including research, policy development, outreach, innovative initiatives, or sponsorships that do not neatly fall under other NMFS competitive discretionary programs.
The notice explains both the intent of the program and the basic rules for how proposals will be selected and how federal assistance will be managed. Awards may be issued as either grants or cooperative agreements, meaning some projects may involve more substantial federal involvement or collaboration depending on the structure of the award. The funding focus is broadly aligned with environment, natural resources, and science and technology/research and development activities, as reflected in the listed activity categories and CFDA number 11.463.
Key logistical details include an application deadline of March 31, 2016, and an award ceiling of $100,000 per award, with an expectation of around 20 awards. The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number NOAA NMFS FHQ 2016 2004689 and was posted on December 7, 2015. Eligibility is not limited to a single standard applicant type in the summary field; it is listed as "Others," with additional eligibility specifics referenced in the full announcement's eligibility section.
A major condition highlighted in the announcement is that any funding depends entirely on the availability of FY 2016 appropriations. The agency explicitly notes that funds had not yet been appropriated at the time of the announcement, and that publishing the notice does not commit IASI to review any particular application, make any awards, or obligate funds. In short, FICAP serves as a flexible mechanism for IASI to support well-aligned international fisheries and seafood inspection-related projects, but applicants are cautioned that awards are contingent on federal budget availability and agency discretion.
