About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior's Office of Subsistence Management is seeking cooperative agreement proposals for the Fisheries Resource Monitoring Program (FRMP) for the years 2026-2029. The program aims to collect and disseminate data to support subsistence fisheries management and stewardship in Alaska, with a focus on enhancing partnerships and capacity building for Alaska Native and rural non-profit organizations, and Federally recognized Tribal Government communities. Proposals must align with specific Priority Information Needs identified by Federal Subsistence Regional Advisory Councils or provide strong justification for alternate priorities. Evaluation criteria include technical rigor, administrative effectiveness, cost efficiency, incorporation of Indigenous Knowledges/Traditional Ecological Knowledges, and active roles for rural community partners. The application deadline is May 16, 2025.
The program will award approximately 25 cooperative agreements totaling $9,000,000, with individual awards ranging up to $940,000 (maximum $235,000 per year for a 4-year performance period). Eligible applicants include Alaska Native Organizations, rural non-profit organizations, and Federally recognized Tribal Governments, though the opportunity is open to all entities with necessary resources and expertise. Projects must address one or more of the three primary data types: harvest monitoring, traditional ecological knowledge, and stock status and trends, and may span multiple regions in Alaska.
Synopsis
Section 812 of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act mandates collaboration among Federal, state, and local entities to research and monitor subsistence use of fish and wildlife on Federal public lands and waters, with an emphasis on local knowledge.The Federal government assumed responsibility for subsistence fisheries management on Federal public lands and waters in 1999, aiming to improve data quality, meaningful involvement by Alaska Native and rural organizations, and foster interagency collaboration to better manage subsistence fisheries in Alaska.The Fisheries Resource Monitoring Program (FRMP) was developed to collect and disseminate data to support subsistence fisheries management and stewardship. It prioritizes projects that enhance partnerships and capacity building for Alaska Native and rural non-profit organizations, and Federally recognized Tribal Government communities.Funding prioritizes projects meeting specific Priority Information Needs identified by Federal Subsistence Regional Advisory Councils available at the program's website: https://www.doi.gov/subsistence/frmp/funding. Proposals must align with Priority Information Needs or provide strong justification for alternate priorities.Indicators of project success include technical rigor, administrative effectiveness, cost efficiency, incorporation of Indigenous Knowledges/Traditional Ecological Knowledges (IK/TEK), and active roles for rural community partners.Proposals should address one of six Alaska regions, with multi-regional classification if the project spans multiple regions. See "Guidelines for Project Investigation Plan, Executive Summary, and Budget" at the Monitoring Program's webpage https://www.doi.gov/subsistence/frmp/funding for further details.The FRMP considers three primary data types: (1) harvest monitoring, (2) traditional ecological knowledge, and (3) stock status and trends, each with distinct research methods for comprehensive data collection. A project may address multiple data types.Eligibility is open to all applicants with the necessary resources and expertise for successful project completion. Alaska Native Organizations (ANO), rural non-profit organizations, and Federally recognized Tribal Governments are encouraged to apply.
