Opportunity Summary:
The John H. Prescott Marine Mammal Rescue Assistance Grant Program (Prescott Grant Program) for Fiscal Year 2011 is a NOAA program run through the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to support the nationwide system that responds to stranded marine mammals. The opportunity sits under NMFS Marine Mammal Health and Stranding Response Program responsibilities in the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), which tasks NMFS with helping collect, organize, and share reference data about stranded marine mammals and broader health trends in wild marine mammal populations. In practical terms, this grant program is meant to strengthen the day-to-day capacity of the National Marine Mammal Stranding Network and to improve the quality and usefulness of the biological and health data that come from stranding events.
For FY 2011, NOAA described three main purposes for funding. First, the program supports the basic operational needs of eligible stranding network organizations so they can respond to strandings, treat animals when appropriate, and collect consistent data from both live and dead stranded marine mammals. Second, it funds scientific research projects that use stranding and rehabilitation data to answer questions about why strandings occur, what health issues are affecting marine mammals, and which rehabilitation techniques work best. Third, it supports facility operations when those operations are directly tied to recovery efforts, treatment, and collecting data from stranded animals. The announcement emphasizes that applicants should read the full notice carefully because some requirements and instructions differed from the prior year.
The funding mechanism for this opportunity includes grants and cooperative agreements, and it is categorized as a discretionary program in the environment/natural resources and science/technology research and development area. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance listing referenced is CFDA 11.439 (Marine Mammal Data Program). NOAA projected an estimated total of about $4,000,000 available for the FY 2011 competition, with an award ceiling of $100,000 per award. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants were expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the total project cost, consistent with the specific terms laid out in the full announcement.
Eligibility is tightly focused on parties already participating in the National Marine Mammal Stranding Network. To apply, an organization or individual needed to be an active, authorized participant or researcher in that network. The eligible categories included: (1) Stranding Agreement (SA) holders or their designated organizations, (2) holders of researcher authorization letters issued by an NMFS Regional Administrator, and (3) eligible state, local government, or tribal personnel as provided under MMPA section 109(h) (16 U.S.C. 1379(h)). The opportunity also notes an important restriction: an applicant could not be a current full-time or part-time employee or contractor of the Department of Commerce (DOC) or the Department of the Interior (DOI). Additional eligibility conditions and documentation requirements were referenced as being in the full funding opportunity.
Key dates for the FY 2011 competition were also provided. The opportunity was posted and created on July 19, 2010. Applications were due by October 5, 2010 (the original and current closing date matched), and the opportunity was later archived on November 4, 2010. NOAA indicated that proposal submission instructions and the process NMFS would use to decide which proposals to fund were contained in the full announcement accessible through the official posting. For access problems related to downloading the application materials, the contact listed was Steve Drescher, identified as a policy advisor, specifically for application download issues.
