About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking applicants for the FY2025 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) - NOAA Fisheries Citizen Science Funding Opportunity. The purpose is to support citizen science projects that can help inform federal fishery stock assessments and climate-ready fisheries management. Eligible applicants include individuals, institutions of higher education, non-profits, for-profits, government entities, and tribal organizations. The program priorities are to improve federal fishery stock assessments, increase understanding of climate change impacts on fish stocks, and increase understanding of climate change impacts on fishing communities. The full proposal deadline is November 4, 2024.
For Fiscal Year 2025, NOAA anticipates making approximately $600,000 available across 3-8 awards ranging from $75,000 to $200,000 per project. Projects can be up to 2 years in duration, with an earliest start date of April 1, 2025. This opportunity is funded under the Unallied Science Program (CFDA 11.472) from the Department of Commerce and will likely be performed in U.S. coastal and marine environments.
Synopsis
publishing -
Citizen science, in which individuals or organizations voluntarily participate in one or more aspects of the scientific process, is one of six NOAA science and technology focus areas. Citizen science has a rich history within NOAA with volunteer observations contributing to our Nation's prediction and management of weather, oceans, coasts, and fisheries for decades. NOAA supports opportunities for the public to engage with the agency's mission and address societal needs through science, technology, and innovation. The purpose of this solicitation is to support citizen science projects that can help support federal fisheries stock assessments and climate-ready fisheries management. Funding will prioritize projects that: provide information that can supplement and/or inform stock assessments or increase understanding of current and/or future impacts of climate change on fish stocks and/or fishing communities. For the purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), all program priorities relating to fishery species, including those related to stock assessments, are for stocks within a federal Fishery Management Plan. These stocks can be found in the stock status tables A-G of the Fishery Stock Status Updates which are updated quarterly. For Fiscal Year 2025, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) anticipates that approximately $600,000 could be made available for the full set of selected citizen science projects that address the areas specified in the Program Priority Section (I.B.1 - I.B.3).
