Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Implementing Action Plans for Atlantic Salmon, A Species in the Spotlight" is a competitive funding notice issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAA, specifically NMFS (Greater Atlantic Regional Fisheries Office). It focuses on the Gulf of Maine Distinct Population Segment of Atlantic salmon, a population that is listed as critically endangered and highlighted as one of eight priority species under NOAA's Species in the Spotlight "Survive to Thrive" initiative. The core purpose of the program is to support practical, targeted conservation work that can stabilize this salmon population and reduce the risk of extinction by advancing actions already laid out in NOAA's Atlantic salmon Priority Action Plan.
Funding is available through either grants or cooperative agreements, meaning projects may be funded as standard assistance awards or, if appropriate, in a structure that involves more substantial federal involvement during the project. The notice emphasizes that proposed projects must address at least one of the four "key actions" identified in the Priority Action Plan for Atlantic salmon. While the specific four actions are not listed in the excerpt provided, the intent is clear: applicants should design projects that directly implement priority, plan-driven recovery and protection measures rather than general research or loosely related conservation work. The funding falls under environment, natural resources, science and technology, and broader research and development categories, and is associated with CFDA number 11.472.
The total amount NOAA anticipated making available under this notice was up to $300,000, with the important caveat that final funding depended on federal appropriations for fiscal year 2016. The program expected to make multiple awards, with an estimated total of around 10 awards, and individual award sizes to be determined based on the strength of proposals and the amount of money ultimately available. In other words, funding could be spread across several smaller projects or concentrated into fewer larger ones, depending on what is proposed and what best advances the action plan.
The opportunity was posted on March 17, 2016, with a closing date of May 17, 2016. Eligibility is not fully specified in the excerpt beyond a broad "Others" category, with the note that applicants needed to consult an additional eligibility section in the full announcement for clarification. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a targeted, plan-based conservation funding stream aimed at near-term, high-priority actions to improve survival and recovery prospects for the Gulf of Maine Atlantic salmon.
