Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA NMFS PRPO 2022 2006990

The Species Recovery Grants to Tribes opportunity is a National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) funding program under the Department of Commerce that provides federal financial assistance to support tribal-led conservation and recovery work for marine and anadromous species protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The program is rooted in NMFS recognition that many ESA-listed species have unique cultural, subsistence, and ecological importance to tribal nations, and that tribes play a central role in on-the-ground stewardship. Funding is offered through grants or cooperative agreements, allowing NMFS to support a wide range of conservation efforts that align with ESA recovery objectives for species under NMFS jurisdiction.

Projects supported by this program can cover activities for endangered, threatened, and candidate species, as well as species proposed for listing. The program also allows funding for post-delisting monitoring, which is the work required after a species has recovered and been removed from the ESA list to ensure it does not decline again. In practical terms, the funding can be used for actions such as developing and implementing conservation or management plans, carrying out scientific research (including monitoring, assessment, and data collection), and conducting public education and outreach that builds awareness and support for species recovery. The intent is to strengthen tribal capacity to plan, implement, and sustain recovery actions that contribute directly to ESA conservation outcomes.

NMFS specifically encourages proposals that contribute to recovery of certain high-priority species identified through its Species in the Spotlight initiative. These highlighted species include the Gulf of Maine distinct population segment of Atlantic salmon, white abalone, the Cook Inlet distinct population segment of beluga whales, Hawaiian monk seals, Pacific leatherback sea turtles, North Atlantic right whales, and the southern resident distinct population segment of killer whales. While proposals are not limited to these species, NMFS signals that projects addressing these particular recovery needs are especially encouraged.

Eligibility is restricted to federally recognized tribes and to organizations of federally recognized tribes that have delegated authority to represent a tribe on matters related to ESA-listed, candidate, or proposed species. The announcement gives an example of an eligible tribal organization in this category, the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission, illustrating that intertribal or tribally authorized entities may apply when they formally represent tribal interests and authority in relevant ESA matters. This focus ensures that the funding supports tribal governance and tribally directed conservation priorities rather than general-purpose applicants.

A key limitation is that proposals focused on listed, candidate, or proposed species of Pacific salmon or steelhead will not be funded under this specific grant program. NMFS directs those types of projects to a different funding stream, the Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund, which is designed for salmon and steelhead recovery work. Applicants therefore need to confirm that their target species and project scope fit within NMFSs ESA species recovery authorities for this program and do not fall into the excluded Pacific salmon and steelhead category.

For the FY 2022 cycle described in the notice, the opportunity is a discretionary program listed under CFDA 11.472, with funding instruments available as either a grant or a cooperative agreement. The opportunity information indicates an award ceiling of $300,000 and an expectation of one award. The funding opportunity number is NOAA NMFS PRPO 2022 2006990. The notice was created on August 2, 2021, with an original closing date of November 1, 2021. The announcement also emphasizes that applicants should read the full document carefully because some proposal preparation, submission, or evaluation details changed compared with prior years, and NMFS uses the published guidance to explain both how to apply and how funding decisions will be made.
