Opportunity Summary:
The Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund (PCSRF) is a federal grant program run by NOAA (within the Department of Commerce) to support on-the-ground and strategic work that helps restore and conserve Pacific salmon and steelhead populations. The funding is authorized under Public Law 112-55 (the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012) and is intended to cover necessary expenses tied directly to salmon recovery. At its core, the opportunity is designed to move restoration efforts forward in places where salmon and steelhead are already listed as threatened or endangered, are considered at risk of being listed in the near future, or where healthy fish runs are needed to sustain tribal treaty fishing rights and native subsistence fishing. It also supports efforts that protect and improve the habitats these species depend on across the Pacific Coast, including Alaska.
Eligibility is limited to specific governmental and tribal entities. The only eligible state applicants are Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, California, and Alaska. In addition, federally recognized tribes of the Columbia River and the Pacific Coast (including Alaska) are eligible to apply. The program is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a grant as the funding instrument. It is tied to CFDA number 11.438, which covers the Pacific Coast Salmon Recovery and Pacific Salmon Treaty Program activities. The announcement notes that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants should expect to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or allowable in-kind support, depending on the detailed program rules) as part of the overall project budget.
Projects funded through PCSRF are those considered necessary for conservation and recovery, which commonly includes habitat restoration and protection work that improves spawning and rearing conditions, removes barriers to fish passage, addresses degraded stream and estuary conditions, and supports broader recovery objectives identified by states and tribes. The announcement states that it lays out the priorities and guidelines NOAA will use to distribute the funding among eligible entities, which typically means applicants must demonstrate how their proposed activities align with recovery needs for at-risk, threatened, or endangered salmon and steelhead, and how the work supports long-term habitat and population outcomes rather than short-term benefits alone.
Timing and submission requirements are clearly defined. Pre-applications were optional but strongly encouraged for applicants who wanted early feedback from NMFS on whether their submission was complete and met minimum compliance requirements. Those pre-applications needed to be received by February 14, 2013 to qualify for NOAA feedback. Final applications were required to be submitted through Grants.gov and were due by 11:59 pm Eastern Time on March 14, 2013. The opportunity was posted January 9, 2013, created January 14, 2013, and later archived April 20, 2013. The listed award ceiling is $25,000,000 and the award floor is $0, indicating awards could vary widely in size depending on the applicant, project scope, and allocation decisions under the program’s guidelines.
