The Department of the Interior’s Fisheries Resource Monitoring Program (FRMP) offers grants to enhance subsistence fisheries management on federal lands and waters across Alaska. This program, mandated by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, aims to improve data quality, increase collaboration among federal, state, and local entities, and foster meaningful involvement from Alaska Native and rural organizations. Funding prioritizes projects addressing specific ‘Priority Information Needs,’ emphasizing partnerships and capacity building for Alaska Native, rural non-profit, and Tribal Government communities. Successful projects will integrate Indigenous/Traditional Ecological Knowledges and involve local community partners. Proposals can focus on harvest monitoring, traditional ecological knowledge, or stock status and trends to support informed subsistence management.

Eligibility
| Eligible Applicants: | Unrestricted (i.e., open to any type of entity above), subject to any clarification in text field entitled “Additional Information on Eligibility” |
| Additional Information on Eligibility: | Applicants should have the necessary technical and administrative abilities and resources to ensure successful completion of studies. To be considered for funding under the FRMP, a proposed project must have a direct linkage to Federal subsistence fishery management in Alaska. This means that either the subsistence fishery or fish stocks in question must occur in or pass through waters within and adjacent to Federal public lands in Alaska (i.e., National Wildlife Refuges, National Forests, National Parks and Preserves, National Conservation Areas, National Wild and Scenic River Systems, National Petroleum Reserves, National Trails System, Natural Wilderness Preservation System, and National Recreation Areas). Proposals that do not demonstrate a clear link to Federal subsistence fishery management in Alaska will not be considered. ANOs, rural non-profit organizations, and federally recognized Tribal Governments are encouraged to apply. Projects up to four years in duration are eligible for funding. Proposals requesting Monitoring Program funding that exceed $235,000 in any one year are not eligible for funding. Activities not eligible for funding under the Monitoring Program include:Habitat protection, mitigation, restoration, and enhancement.Hatchery propagation, restoration, enhancement, and supplementation.Contaminant assessment, evaluation, and monitoring. The rationale behind this approach is to ensure that existing responsibilities and effort by government agencies are not duplicated under the Monitoring Program. Land management or regulatory agencies already have direct responsibility, as well as specific programs, to address these activities. Projects where the primary or only objective is outreach and education (for example, science camps, student training, and intern programs), rather than information collection, are not eligible for funding under the Monitoring Program. These types of activities (educator, outreach coordinator, and intern positions and science camps) are eligible for funding under the Partners for Fisheries Monitoring Program funded through the Office of Subsistence Management https://www.doi.gov/subsistence/partners/funding. Applicants will be notified in writing if their proposals are not eligible for consideration through the Monitoring Program. |
