The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) offers the Species Recovery Grants to Tribes program to fund initiatives directly benefiting threatened, endangered, proposed, de-listed, or candidate species under NMFS or joint NMFS/U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service jurisdiction. This grant is for supporting recovery through management, research, monitoring, and outreach activities. Priority is given to projects demonstrating direct conservation benefits, especially those implementing management actions that mitigate threats or address ESA Recovery Plan priorities. While research proposals filling critical data gaps are competitive, direct intervention projects like habitat restoration or by-catch reduction receive higher preference. Projects focusing on Pacific salmon or steelhead are not eligible under this program.

| Description: | The principal objective of the Species Recovery Grants to Tribes Program is to support recovery efforts that directly benefit threatened or endangered species, species proposed for listing, de-listed species, or candidate species under the jurisdiction of the NMFS or under the joint jurisdiction of NMFS and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Recovery efforts may involve management, research, monitoring, and outreach activities or any combination thereof. Successful applications will be those that demonstrate a direct conservation benefit to the species or its habitat. Proposals involving management activities should demonstrate a high probability of contributing to recovery of the species, especially through mitigation of existing threats or factors inhibiting recovery of the species. Proposals involving scientific research should demonstrate a high probability of providing information that can be used to recover, manage, or improve current management strategies for a given species. Proposals involving public education and outreach projects should demonstrate a high probability of improving or increasing public understanding and participation in conservation activities. All projects should address priority actions identified in an ESA Recovery Plan or address a NMFS-identified regional priority or need if applicable. Priority will be given to those projects that are designed to have a direct impact on species recovery through implementation of management actions (e.g. habitat restoration, by-catch reduction, land acquisition, or mitigation of existing threats). Such proposals will receive higher priority than those projects that involve research or monitoring activities only or are merely responding to existing threats. However, research proposals that are designed to fill critical data gaps and directly contribute to management and recovery of eligible species will still be competitive under this solicitation. Projects that include measures/indicators by which performance or success of the project will be evaluated will receive higher priority. Projects focusing on Pacific salmon or steelhead that are listed, candidates, or proposed for listing will not be considered under this grant program; tribal conservation efforts for these species may be supported through the Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund. |
