Opportunity Summary:
The Prescott 2009 opportunity is a NOAA-administered federal grant and cooperative agreement program run through the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. It supports the work of the Marine Mammal Health and Stranding Response Program, which is responsible for improving the collection, consistency, and sharing of reference data on stranded marine mammals and for tracking health trends in wild marine mammal populations. The program operates in close coordination with NMFS Regional Coordinators and relies heavily on the national Marine Mammal Stranding Network, made up of qualified local organizations and government personnel who respond to strandings and gather critical biological, health, and situational data from both live and dead animals.
Funding is provided through the John H. Prescott Marine Mammal Rescue Assistance Grant Program to strengthen the capacity of eligible stranding network participants in three main ways. First, it can cover basic operational needs tied to responding to strandings, treating animals when appropriate, and collecting and reporting data from stranded marine mammals, regardless of whether the animals are alive or deceased. Second, it supports scientific research projects that use stranding-derived data or specimens to answer practical questions about why strandings occur, what health threats are emerging, and which rehabilitation or response techniques are most effective. Third, it can help fund facility operations when those costs are directly connected to the recovery, treatment, and care of stranded marine mammals and/or the collection of standardized data and samples that contribute to broader monitoring and management goals.
This is a discretionary funding opportunity in the environment, natural resources, and science/technology research space, listed under CFDA 11.439 (Marine Mammal Data Program). Awards are offered as grants and/or cooperative agreements, with an estimated total funding level of about $4,000,000 for the opportunity. The maximum award amount listed is $100,000, and the program requires cost sharing or matching, meaning applicants should be prepared to document non-federal contributions consistent with the full announcement requirements.
Eligibility is limited to specific categories of participants connected to the Marine Mammal Stranding Network. Applicants may include (1) holders of Stranding Agreements (SA) or organizations officially designated by those agreement holders, (2) individuals or entities holding researcher authorization letters issued by an NMFS Regional Administrator, and (3) state, local, eligible federal, or tribal government employees or personnel involved in authorized stranding response activities. Because eligibility hinges on formal authorization and network participation, applicants are expected to review the full funding opportunity for detailed conditions and documentation requirements.
The application window for Prescott 2009 opened on July 11, 2008, with proposals due by October 1, 2008 (postmarked or submitted online by 11:59 p.m. EDT). The opportunity was archived on October 31, 2008. For technical issues accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Steve Drescher, Policy Advisor, at 301-713-0926.
