About this opportunity
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), in coordination with the New England Fishery Management Council, is soliciting proposals for the 2025 Sea Scallop Research Set Aside (RSA) Program. Projects funded under this program must enhance knowledge of the scallop fishery resource or contribute to scallop management decisions. Priority will be given to proposals that investigate Council-developed research priorities, including scallop resource surveys, scallop biology, turtle research, commercial fishing gear improvements, and scallop resource enhancement. Proposals will be evaluated based on factors such as importance, technical merit, qualifications, costs, and outreach. The application deadline is 5 p.m. EDT on September 30, 2024, and awards are anticipated within 6 months of the deadline.
Successful applicants will be awarded scallop RSA quota, with no direct federal funds provided. The program is authorized under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act and funded through the Unallied Management Projects grant program (CFDA 11.454). Award amounts typically range from $25,000 to $3.5 million, with project durations of 1-5 years. Work is generally performed in coastal states and U.S. territories, with a particular focus on the Northeast region.
Synopsis
NMFS, in coordination with the New England Fishery Management Council (Council), is soliciting proposals under the Sea Scallop Research Set Aside (RSA) Program. Projects funded under the Scallop RSA Program must enhance the knowledge of the scallop fishery resource or contribute to the body of information on which scallop management decisions are made. Priority will be given to proposals that investigate research priorities developed by the Council, which are detailed under the Program Priorities section of this announcement. Successful applicants will be awarded scallop RSA quota. No federal funds are provided for research under this notification. Rather, proceeds generated from the sale of RSA quota will be used to fund approved activities and compensate scallop vessel owners.
