| Description: |
The Tribal Seafood Pandemic Response and Safety (TSPRS) Grant Program provides grants to seafood processors, including at-sea processors and dealers, owned and operated by Federally Recognized Indian Tribes, as defined in the List Act of 1994. The grant program provides funds to respond to coronavirus, including for measures to protect workers against novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID–19). This program is authorized and funded under section 751 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (CAA) (Pub. L. No. 116—260). USDA developed grant programs under the CAA in response to extensive stakeholder feedback during a series of listening sessions in March 2021, and written comments provided through March 30, 2021. Two listening sessions were specifically designated for Tribal representatives to provide information and feedback. Information from the listening sessions is available online at: https://www.ams.usda.gov/services/ams-covid-stimulus. To address the needs of seafood processors owned and operated by Federally Recognized Indian Tribes, USDA also held a Tribal listening session in October 2021 to seek input from tribal-owned processors on the development of this grant program. TSPRS applications are submitted via e-mail to TSPRSgrants@usda.gov. All applicants must obtain a DUNS number and register in the System for Award Management (SAM) before applying. Information on how to obtain a DUNS number and registering in SAM.gov can be found on the AMS website at https://www.ams.usda.gov/services/grants/apply-for-a-grant.
