Opportunity Summary:
The FY 17 Cooperative Research Program (CRP) is a NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) funding opportunity designed to support applied fisheries research projects that directly connect scientists and the fishing community. Its central purpose is to improve and strengthen working relationships among NMFS researchers, state fishery agencies, and universities, while actively bringing the U.S. fishing industry into the research process. The program is built around the idea that many of the most useful fisheries data are collected more effectively when commercial and recreational fishermen help design and carry out research activities, especially when projects are focused on real management questions and practical regulatory needs.
Geographically, the CRP targets three major regions: the Gulf of Mexico (Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas), the South Atlantic (Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia), and the Caribbean (U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico). Projects are expected to be relevant to fisheries in these areas and to create clear collaboration across the listed partner groups. In practice, this means proposals typically emphasize cooperative field work, shared sampling efforts, and structured participation from fishermen and industry partners in collecting fundamental fisheries information.
The program aligns with NOAA's broader mission to Protect, Restore, and Manage the Use of Coastal and Ocean Resources through an ecosystem approach to management. In plain terms, the CRP is meant to generate credible, management-relevant science while also building trust, communication, and long-term collaboration between those who study fisheries and those who depend on them. By supporting cooperative projects that involve fishermen in data collection and research execution, the program aims to improve the quality, usefulness, and acceptance of information used in fisheries management and regulatory decision-making.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAA/NMFS. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NOAA expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance (for example, through coordination, technical input, or collaboration), rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal agency engagement. The opportunity falls under the broad activity areas of environment, natural resources, and science and technology research and development, and it is listed under CFDA 11.454.
Key logistics for the FY 17 competition include a posting date of June 28, 2016, with an original application closing date of September 1, 2016. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $250,000, and NOAA anticipated making about 8 awards under this announcement. Eligibility is listed as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement, which typically means applicants should consult the detailed eligibility language to confirm whether their organization type and partnership structure meet program requirements. The official funding opportunity number is NOAA NMFS SE 2017 2004940, and the opportunity title is FY 17 Cooperative Research Program (CRP).
