The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is offering Species Recovery Grants to Tribes. This program provides federal assistance to federally recognized tribes for critical conservation programs concerning marine and anadromous species under NMFS’ jurisdiction. The grant’s purpose is to support the conservation of endangered, threatened, candidate, proposed, and post-delisted species. Funded activities may encompass developing and implementing management plans, conducting vital scientific research, and facilitating public education and outreach initiatives. Proposals must address priority actions identified in an Endangered Species Act Recovery Plan or a NMFS-identified regional priority or need. Projects focusing on listed Pacific salmon or steelhead are explicitly excluded from this grant opportunity.

| Description: | The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) recognizes the unique importance of many protected species to tribes and values ongoing efforts by tribal nations to conserve and protect species under NMFS’ jurisdiction. NMFS is authorized to provide Federal assistance to tribes to support conservation programs for marine and anadromous species under its jurisdiction. This assistance, provided in the form of grants, can be used to support conservation of endangered, threatened, and candidate or proposed species, as well as post-delisting monitoring of recovered species. Funded activities may include development and implementation of management plans, scientific research, and public education and outreach; proposals should address priority actions identified in an Endangered Species Act (ESA) Recovery Plan or address a NMFS-identified regional priority or need. Only federally recognized tribes are eligible to apply. Proposals focusing on listed Pacific salmon or steelhead will not be considered for funding under this grant program; such projects may be supported through the Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund. In addition to this opportunity, the NOAA Restoration Center may provide additional funding for habitat restoration projects selected through the Species Recovery Grants to Tribes program. This document describes how to prepare and submit proposals for funding in fiscal year (FY) 2012 and how NMFS will determine which proposals will be funded; this document should be read in its entirety. |
