Opportunity Summary:
The Saltonstall-Kennedy Grant Program (FY09) is a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) funding opportunity that supports practical fisheries research and development projects intended to strengthen U.S. fisheries and the communities and businesses that depend on them. Authorized under the Saltonstall-Kennedy Act, the program uses the Saltonstall-Kennedy (S-K) fund to make grants and cooperative agreements for work that can improve or expand harvesting methods, seafood processing, product development, marketing approaches, and the infrastructure that connects fishery resources to markets. The program is broadly framed to cover both commercial and recreational fisheries, and it explicitly includes fisheries connected to U.S. citizens or nationals as well as citizens of several U.S.-affiliated Pacific jurisdictions, including the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Republic of Palau, and the Federated States of Micronesia.
For FY09, the opportunity is listed as a discretionary program under Funding Opportunity Number NMFS FHQ 2009 2001464 and CFDA 11.427 (Fisheries Development and Utilization Research and Development Grants and Cooperative Agreements). NOAA anticipated making around 25 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $5,000,000. Awards could be issued either as standard grants or as cooperative agreements, meaning some projects may involve more substantial federal collaboration or involvement depending on the nature of the work proposed. The funding activity category is Science and Technology and other Research and Development, reflecting the program focus on applied research and development that can translate into real-world fishery or seafood-sector benefits. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants needed to plan for providing non-federal contributions consistent with program rules.
Eligibility is relatively broad and is designed to reach both individuals and organizations connected to U.S. fisheries. Eligible applicants include U.S. citizens or nationals; citizens of the Northern Mariana Islands (including those who qualify under transitional provisions referenced in the NMI constitution); and citizens of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Republic of Palau, or the Federated States of Micronesia. In addition, corporations, partnerships, associations, Indian tribes, and other non-federal entities (nonprofit or for-profit) may apply as long as they are based in the United States or the NMI in the manner described by the program (referencing the Shipping Act of 1916 definition). The program encourages broad participation and explicitly promotes cultural and gender diversity, with specific encouragement for women and minority individuals and groups to apply. It also highlights interest in serving U.S. insular areas and encourages applicants from those regions, including individuals, government entities, and businesses. NOAA also emphasizes expanding participation by Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), including Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions, and Tribal Colleges and Universities, and encourages applicants to incorporate meaningful MSI participation into projects.
The opportunity is especially oriented toward applied projects with clear benefits to the fishing community. NMFS notes that it encourages applications from members of the fishing community and proposals that demonstrate cooperation and participation from the fishing community. Importantly, the extent of fishing community involvement is identified as a factor that will be considered when evaluating the likely benefit of funding a proposal, signaling that strong stakeholder engagement and practical relevance are valued alongside technical merit.
There are also clear restrictions: federal employees are not eligible to apply, and employees of Fishery Management Councils or the Councils themselves cannot submit applications. However, Council members who are not federal employees may apply, which leaves room for participation by individuals with Council experience so long as they are not federal staff.
