Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2016 Alaska Native Organization Co-Management Funding Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). It is designed to support Alaska Native Organizations (ANOs) in conserving marine mammals that are important for Alaska Native subsistence and in strengthening co-management of those species in partnership with NMFS. The program is grounded in federal authority under 16 U.S.C. 1388, which allows NMFS to provide financial assistance to ANOs for marine mammal conservation and for co-management related to Alaska Native subsistence use of marine mammals that fall under NMFS jurisdiction.
Funding is provided through cooperative agreements, meaning NMFS anticipates an ongoing, collaborative relationship with award recipients rather than a hands-off grant. Projects funded under this opportunity are intended to directly support conservation and sustainable subsistence use by improving the shared management framework between NMFS and tribally authorized ANOs. The overall emphasis is on practical, on-the-ground work that benefits both marine mammal populations and the communities that depend on them.
Eligible activities are broad but clearly focused on conservation and management outcomes. NMFS indicates that supported work may include developing or carrying out species management activities, monitoring subsistence harvests, sampling subsistence harvests to collect biological and ecological information, conducting scientific research, and delivering public education and outreach. Importantly, proposals are expected to align with established federal conservation priorities where they apply, such as priority actions identified in an Endangered Species Act Recovery Plan or a Marine Mammal Protection Act Conservation Plan, along with any specific priorities highlighted in the funding announcement itself.
Eligibility is limited to tribally authorized Alaska Native Organizations that already have a signed co-management agreement with NMFS. This requirement reinforces the program's purpose: to fund work that occurs within an existing formal co-management relationship. The notice also draws a firm boundary around agency jurisdiction. Proposals that focus on marine mammals managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will not be considered under this program, so applicants must ensure their target species and project scope fall under NMFS authority.
For FY 2016, the opportunity was posted on January 7, 2016, and applications were due March 7, 2016. The funding opportunity number is NOAA NMFS AK 2016 2004745, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 11.439. NMFS anticipated making about 8 awards, with an award ceiling of up to $800,000. The program is categorized under environment, natural resources, and science and technology/research and development, reflecting its combined focus on community-based management, conservation, and applied science.
Finally, NMFS notes that the FY 2016 announcement includes changes from the previous year and instructs applicants to read the full announcement carefully for updated instructions on how to prepare and submit proposals and how NMFS will evaluate and select projects for funding.
