About this program
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) administers the Research Set-Aside Program (CFDA 11.063), which funds research projects where a portion of a commercial fishery's catch or days-at-sea allocation is reserved and the revenue from selling that allocation supports competitive grants; the source provides no recent grant award date or open application deadline.
The program generates research funding by dedicating a share of fishing rights to revenue generation rather than harvest. Funded activities are research projects aligned with fishery management objectives, with award decisions made by the National Marine Fisheries Service Regional Program Office and processed through the NOAA Grants Management Division. The source does not identify specific recent grant awards, award frequencies, or the distribution of funding across NOAA regional offices or fisheries.
The program accepts a broad range of eligible applicants: institutions of higher education, hospitals, nonprofit organizations, commercial organizations, individuals, state and local governments, and Native American tribal governments. Commercial applicants are subject to audit under 2 CFR Subpart F. The source does not specify the typical award magnitude, combined federal dollars obligated in recent years, or the assistance-type mix.
Application review typically concludes within 180 calendar days of receipt of a complete and acceptable application, though timelines may extend beyond that window. The program does not offer renewal; approved ongoing projects may be extended through amendment requests. No formal appeal procedure exists; if an application is unacceptable, reasons are stated to the applicant and resubmission requires revision in accordance with recommended changes. Grant recipients must retain records for three years from final financial report submission, or longer if litigation, claim, or audit is pending.
The source does not identify currently open grant opportunities or recent opportunities posted to Grants.gov or agency websites.
