[SEMCO] Saltonstall-Kennedy Grant Program

[Jeffrey M. Brodeur]

New "pre-proposal" process provides more guidance for Saltonstall-Kennedy grant applicants
NOAA Fisheries has announced the availability of approximately $10 million in funding for projects focusing on sustainable fisheries and coastal fishing communities.
 
Changes to how stakeholders apply for the 2017 round of NOAA's Saltonstall-Kennedy grants will help applicants sharpen their submissions for greater success. 
 
The new "pre-proposal" process asks applicants to briefly show the technical merits and relevance of their project before they submit a full proposal. Applicants will then either be encouraged to submit a full proposal or given feedback on how to improve their submission. A pre-proposal is required in order to be eligible to submit a full proposal.

To be considered for 2017 funding, projects should advance research in one of the following focus areas: 
Marine aquaculture
Fishery data collection
Techniques for reducing bycatch and other adverse impacts
Adapting to climate change and other long term ecosystem change
Sustainable seafood promotion, development, and marketing
Socio-economic fisheries research
Advancing fisheries science in U.S. territories, including research into enhancing annual catch limits and ecosystem-based fishery management
The deadline for pre-proposals is September 20, 2016.
