Opportunity Summary:
The National Outreach and Communication Program Request for Proposals (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00045) is a discretionary federal grant/cooperative agreement opportunity administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.653. It was created under the authority of the Sportfishing and Boating Safety Act of 1998 (Public Law 105-178) and is designed to support nationwide outreach and communication efforts related to recreational fishing and boating.
At its core, the program aims to strengthen how agencies and partners communicate with anglers, boaters, and the general public about fishing and boating opportunities. The intent is not only to increase awareness, but also to make participation easier by reducing practical or informational barriers that keep people from getting involved. Alongside participation, the opportunity emphasizes improving public understanding and uptake of sound angling and boating practices, promoting conservation-minded behavior, encouraging responsible use of the nation’s aquatic resources, and advancing safety in both fishing and boating contexts.
The total estimated funding available for this opportunity is listed as $12,800,000. The notice does not specify a minimum (award floor) or maximum (award ceiling) award amount, indicating that award sizes may vary depending on the proposed work and available funds. Cost sharing or matching is not required, which generally lowers the barrier for applicants that may not have non-federal funds available to contribute.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject to any further clarifications that may have been included in the full announcement’s eligibility section. Applications were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, with a deadline of January 31, 2013, by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. The posting date was December 21, 2012, and the opportunity was archived on February 15, 2013.
For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement or having questions tied to the opportunity, the listed program contact was Brian Bohnsack, Recreational Boating and Fishing Liaison at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable at 703-358-2435 or BrianBohnsack@fws.gov.
