This grant, offered by NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in collaboration with the New England and Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Councils, is for the 2013 Monkfish Research Set-Aside (RSA) Program. Its purpose is to solicit and fund monkfish research proposals by utilizing 500 Monkfish Days-at-Sea (DAS). The objective is to enhance the scientific understanding of the monkfish fishery resource or contribute vital information for effective monkfish management decisions. Funding for research activities and vessel compensation is generated through the sale of monkfish harvested during set-aside DAS, rather than direct Federal funds. Priority will be given to proposals addressing specific research priorities identified by the Councils.

| Description: | NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), in coordination with the New England and Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Councils (Councils), is soliciting monkfish research proposals to utilize 500 Monkfish Days-at-Sea (DAS) that have been set-aside by the Councils to fund monkfish research endeavors through the 2013 Monkfish Research Set-Aside (RSA) Program. No Federal funds are provided for research under this notification. Rather, proceeds generated from the sale of monkfish harvested during a set-aside DAS will be used to fund research activities and compensate vessels that participate in research activities and/or harvest set-aside quota. Projects funded under the Monkfish RSA Program must enhance the knowledge of the monkfish fishery resource or contribute to the body of information on which monkfish management decisions are made. Priority will be given to monkfish research proposals that investigate research priorities identified by the Councils and detailed under the Program Priorities section of this announcement. |
