NOAA offers grants to State agencies to support the conservation and recovery of endangered or threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. The grants aim to assist in developing and implementing conservation programs for marine and anadromous species residing in State waters. Eligible activities include management efforts, scientific research, and public outreach following priority actions outlined in recovery plans and regional needs. State agencies with agreements under the ESA can apply, except for proposals on Pacific salmonids. The grants support projects focused on listed, candidate, and delisted species. Details on proposal submission and evaluation for FY 2015 funding are provided.

| Description:: | States play an essential role in conserving and recovering species listed as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Listed species under NOAAs National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS) jurisdiction may spend all or part of their life-cycles in state waters, and success in conserving these species depends largely on working cooperatively with the States. NMFS is authorized to provide Federal assistance to eligible State agencies to support the development and implementation of conservation programs for listed marine and anadromous species that reside within that State. This assistance, provided in the form of grants through the Species Recovery Grants to States Program, can be used to support conservation activities for endangered and threatened species, as well as monitoring of candidate species, recently delisted species, and species proposed for listing under the ESA. Funded activities may include development and implementation of management efforts, scientific research, and public education and outreach. Proposals should address priority actions identified in an ESA Recovery Plan, a States ESA Section 6 management plan, a State Wildlife Action Plan, or a NMFS-identified regional priority or need. Any State agency that has entered into an agreement with NMFS pursuant to section 6(c) of the ESA within 30 days of the application deadline is eligible to apply under this solicitation. Proposals focusing on Pacific salmonids will not be considered for funding under this grant program; such projects may be considered through the NMFS Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund. This document describes how to submit proposals for funding in fiscal year (FY) 2015 and how NMFS will evaluate and select proposals for funding. This document should be read in its entirety; some information has changed from the previous year. |
