Opportunity Summary:
The FY09 Hawaii Seafood Program (Funding Opportunity Number NMFS PIRO 2009 2001645) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), specifically through NOAA Fisheries (NMFS). It supports projects tied to environment, natural resources, and science and technology-related research and development, and it is listed under CFDA 11.452 (Unallied Industry Projects). Funding may be provided either as a grant or as a cooperative agreement, meaning some awards may involve more direct federal involvement in project oversight or collaboration depending on the nature of the proposed work.
The program anticipated a total of about $700,000 available for awards, but that amount was not guaranteed because it depended on FY09 Congressional appropriations. Applicants could request essentially any reasonable funding amount, because the notice did not set a formal minimum or maximum award size. At the same time, the announcement signaled that very large awards were unlikely, noting that awards above $250,000 were not expected in most cases. Final award sizes would be based on the strength of the proposals received and the amount of funding ultimately available.
A key flexibility in this opportunity was that applicants were allowed to submit more than one application. The only condition was that each submission had to clearly describe a different project, rather than multiple versions of the same idea. Another important point is that receiving an award in FY09 did not create any expectation of continued funding. NOAA/NMFS made clear that it had no obligation to provide follow-on money in later years, even if an award was made under this announcement.
The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which typically makes a program more accessible to applicants who may not have non-federal funds available to contribute. However, the notice included a strict warning about timing and spending: pre-award costs were not allowed unless explicitly approved by the NOAA Grants Officer. In other words, applicants were expected not to spend project funds (or incur reimbursable costs) before an official award start date unless they had written authorization through the proper grants channel.
Applications were due by February 13, 2009, and the deadline was firm: submissions had to be received and validated by Grants.gov no later than 5:00 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time. The announcement emphasized that validation through Grants.gov can take up to two business days, so applicants needed to submit early enough to account for possible processing delays or rejections that might require correction and resubmission. The posting date for the opportunity was January 5, 2009, and the archive date was March 15, 2009, reflecting that this was a time-limited FY09 funding round.
Eligibility was listed broadly as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement (not included in the excerpt), so applicants would have needed to consult the complete notice to confirm whether their organization type and project fit the program rules. For help accessing the full announcement, the notice provided a contact: Steve Drescher, Policy Advisor, at (301) 713-0926, and it also referenced assistance for application download issues.
