Grant Description: The Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Office of Subsistence Management, administers the Fisheries Resource Monitoring Program (Catalog of Federal and Domestic Assistance Number 15.636 Alaska Subsistence Management). The Fisheries Resource Monitoring Program (FRMP) is seeking technically sound projects that gather information to manage and conserve subsistence fishery resources in Alaska. The program also develops fisheries management expertise within Alaska Native and rural organizations and promotes collaboration among Federal, State, Alaska Native and local organizations. The Fisheries Resource Monitoring Program encompasses awards made through both Federal assistance and procurement instruments (contracts). This Request for Proposals is the single designated annual competition through which multiple awards will be made. This Request for Proposals # 701817R015 will be posted on http://www.fedbizopps.gov and http://www.grants.gov. As in past years, studies that gather, analyze, and report information needs for effective subsistence fisheries management on Federal public lands in Alaska (National Wildlife Refuges, National Forests, National Parks and Preserves, National Conservation Areas, National Wild and Scenic River Systems, National Petroleum Reserves, and National Recreation Areas) will be considered. The Federal Subsistence Board (Board) has established guidelines for proposals to successfully compete for funding. Activities that are outside the scope of the Monitoring Program and will not be considered include: habitat protection, mitigation, restoration, and enhancement; hatchery propagation, restoration, enhancement and supplementation; and contaminant assessment, evaluation, and monitoring. These important activities are most appropriately addressed by the responsible land management or regulatory agency, not the Monitoring Program. In addition, projects where the primary objective is capacity building (e.g., science camps, technician training, intern programs), are not eligible for funding under the Monitoring Program. However, monitoring projects with capacity building as a secondary objective are encouraged, and partnerships/capacity building is one of four ranking criteria used to evaluate proposals.
