About this opportunity
Paragraph 1:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is seeking applications for the FY2025 Prescott Marine Mammal Rescue and Response Grant Program (F25AS00223). This program provides financial assistance to eligible marine mammal stranding participants and network collaborators to support the recovery, care, and treatment of sick, injured, or entangled marine mammals; emergency stranding response; data collection for scientific research; facility operating costs; and development of stranding network capacity. Applications will be evaluated based on criteria including project importance, technical soundness, applicant qualifications, project costs, outreach/education, and partnerships. The application deadline is March 14, 2025.
Paragraph 2:
The total funding available is $1,121,364, to be distributed across approximately 12 awards. Individual awards are capped at $150,000 with no minimum amount, and require a 25% non-federal cost share. Projects can span up to three years and must address specific regional priorities detailed in the Notice of Funding Opportunity. The program focuses on marine mammal species under the Department of the Interior's management authority, including West Indian manatees, sea otters, Pacific walruses, and polar bears, with projects to be conducted within the United States, its territories, and waters under U.S. jurisdiction.
Synopsis
The John H. Prescott Marine Mammal Rescue and Response Grant Program (Prescott Grant Program) provides financial assistance to eligible marine mammal stranding participants and stranding network collaborators to provide (A) the recovery, care, or treatment of sick, injured, or entangled marine mammals; (B) responses to marine mammal stranding events that require emergency assistance; (C) the collection of data and samples from living or dead stranded marine mammals for scientific research or assessments regarding marine mammal health; (D) facility operating costs that are directly related to activities described in (A), (B), or (C); and (E) development of stranding network capacity, including training for emergency response, where facilities do not exist or are sparse. Successful applications will be those aimed at helping support these actions. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (FWS) Prescott Grant Program will provide support for response to the stranding of wild populations of species under the Department of the Interior's management authority per section 3(12) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). Under this Funding Opportunity, the FWS will select projects for funding based on how well and to what extent they support the species-specific priority activities, which are listed below under Species-Specific Funding Priorities. For the purposes of this program, priority is to be given to applications focusing on marine mammal strandings.
