NOAA Fisheries Service is now accepting proposals for funding under the Saltonstall-Kennedy Grant Program, which provides federal support for fisheries research and development projects on U.S. commercial and recreational fisheries. Applications are due October 1, 2008.
Research priorities for 2009 include mitigating risks posed to North Atlantic right whales by entanglement in fishing gear, aquaculture development, reducing or eliminating problems that limit the use of harvested resources owing to disease, human health hazard or other quality problems, improving what we know about the socioeconomics of fishing, and conservation engineering projects to reduce or eliminate bycatch or harmful interactions between fishing operations and protected species.
Funding for potential projects depends upon the availability of fiscal year 2009 appropriations. Grants will be awarded competitively.
For complete details on how to apply, please visit the Grants Online website at http://www.grants.gov.
