NOAA Fisheries has made $10 million in funding for projects focusing on sustainable fisheries and coastal fishing communities, it reported in a recent press release.<\/p>\n
To be considered for 2017 funding, projects should advance research in one of the following focus areas: marine aquaculture; fishery data collection; techniques for reducing bycatch and other adverse impacts; adapting to climate change and other long term ecosystem change; sustainable seafood promotion, development and marketing; socio-economic fisheries research; advancing fisheries science in U.S. territories, including research into enhancing annual catch limits and ecosystem-based fishery management.<\/p>\n
The new pre-proposal process asks applicants to briefly show the technical merits and relevance of their project before they submit a full proposal. Applicants will then either be encouraged to submit a full proposal or be given feedback on how to improve their submission. A pre-proposal is required in order to be eligible to submit a full proposal.<\/p>\n
The 2017 deadline for pre-proposals is Sept. 20, 2016. Information on eligibility and application requirements can be found at grants.gov and the Saltonstall-Kennedy grant program website. NOAA will hold online webinars to introduce the new application process and address questions in August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
