Opportunity Summary:
The Recruiting, Training and Research Program (RTRP) is a NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) discretionary funding opportunity designed to strengthen the field of marine resources population dynamics and stock assessment by supporting a long-term pipeline of people, teaching approaches, and research. The program is structured around three connected priorities: recruiting students into population dynamics and related fisheries science disciplines, improving how those subjects are taught by incorporating modern pedagogical methods into university-level marine resources courses, and advancing research that improves understanding and management of marine fish populations. In practical terms, the opportunity is meant to build capacity in the scientific workforce while also producing better tools, knowledge, and methods that inform fisheries management decisions, with a clear alignment to NOAA's mission to protect, restore, and manage coastal and ocean resources using an ecosystem-based approach.
The award is issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients should expect substantial involvement or collaboration with the federal sponsor compared to a standard grant. The program falls under CFDA 11.455 (Cooperative Science and Education Program) and is categorized under education, environment, natural resources, science and technology, and other research and development activities. NOAA anticipated making one award under this solicitation, with an estimated total funding amount of $250,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which reduces the financial barrier for eligible institutions and focuses competition on the strength of the proposed recruiting, training, and research activities.
Eligibility is limited and targeted. Applicants must be U.S. institutions of higher education that offer doctoral degrees in a field relevant to stock assessment and marine resources population dynamics. Federal agencies and federal institutions are explicitly ineligible, and the solicitation also excludes foreign governments, organizations under foreign government jurisdiction, and international organizations. The stated rationale for these exclusions is that the RTRP is intended to optimize research and development benefits derived from U.S. marine fishery resources, keeping the program focused on domestic capacity-building and outcomes that directly support U.S. fisheries science and management needs.
Key dates for this particular opportunity reflect an early 2011 solicitation cycle. The opportunity was posted and created on January 14, 2011, with an application deadline of March 15, 2011. The listing indicates an archive date of April 14, 2011, which generally signals the announcement is no longer active after that period. The opportunity was published by the Department of Commerce under the NOAA NMFS Southeast region identifier (Funding Opportunity Number: NOAA NMFS SE 2011 2002863), and the public listing directs prospective applicants to access the full announcement through the "Full Opportunity" link on the posting page.
