NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service, in coordination with the New England and Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Councils, is offering this Monkfish Research Set-Aside (RSA) Grant. This grant is for funding monkfish research endeavors. It utilizes 500 Monkfish Days-at-Sea (DAS) rather than federal funds, with proceeds from harvested monkfish during set-aside DAS used to support research activities and compensate participating vessels. Projects funded under the Monkfish RSA Program must enhance knowledge of the monkfish fishery resource or contribute to the body of information for management decisions. Priority is given to proposals investigating research priorities identified by the Councils to improve monkfish management and understanding.

| 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 2012 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. |

| Description: | I. Funding Opportunity DescriptionA. Program ObjectiveAmendment 2 to the Monkfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP) established the Monkfish RSA Program, which sets-aside 500 monkfish DAS annually from the total number of monkfish DAS allocated to limited access monkfish vessels, to address monkfish research priorities identified by the Councils. NMFS, in coordination with the Councils, is soliciting proposals for monkfish research to be conducted under the 2012 Monkfish RSA Program. DAS will be awarded to successful applicants.B. Program PrioritiesProjects funded under an RSA DAS award must enhance understanding of the monkfish fishery resource or contribute to the body of information on which management decisions are made. NMFS and the Councils will give priority to funding research proposals in the following areas. The numbering of priorities is not intended to indicate preference of one priority over another.2012 Monkfish RSA Program Research Needs and Priorities:Priority 1: Research on monkfish life history focusing on: (a) age and growth, (b) longevity, (c) reproduction, and (d) natural mortality.Priority 2: Stock definition, stock movements, mixing, and migration through tagging studies, DNA markers, morphological characteristics and other means, focusing on: (a) short- and long-term movements, and (b) habitat use in relation to broad scale movements.Priority 3: Research concerning trophic interactions of monkfish with other species and monkfish cannibalism.Priority 4: Research concerning bycatch and discard mortality focusing on: (a) Target species (i.e., monkfish or Northeast multispecies), and (b) non-target species (i.e., monkfish or skate).Priority 5: Trawl and gillnet gear studies focusing on: (a) size and/or species selectivity, and (b) bycatch reduction, including reducing bycatch of and interactions with protected species.C. Program AuthorityStatutory authority for this program is found under sections 303(b)(11), 402(e), and 404(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, 16 U.S.C. 1853(b)(11), 16 U.S.C. 1881a(e), and 16 U.S.C. 1881(c), respectively.
