Hi CDHC Members:
I wanted to let you know of a funding opportunity through NOAA and the
National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. http://www.nfwf.org/applicantinfo
Below is the announcement:
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), in partnership with
the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP), announces the
availability of grant funding in the following priority proposal categories:
*U.S. Jurisdictions (Florida, U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI), Puerto Rico,
Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands (CNMI))*
· Addressing sediment and nutrient run-off to coral reefs from development
· Implementing priority actions described in watershed and marine
protected area (MPA) management plans in areas containing U.S. coral
reef ecosystems
*International (Regional focus on Micronesia, Samoa and the Southwest
Pacific, the Wider Caribbean,
and the Coral Triangle region; however, all international coral reef
locations are eligible.)*
· Implementing activities that support the priority goals and objectives
identified in NOAA CRCP’s International Strategy
(http://coralreef.noaa.gov/wgroups/resources/final/intl_strategy.pdf)
Applicants are encouraged to select one category for each proposal.
Proposals addressing topics outside of these priority categories will be
considered to the extent that they support the goals and objectives of
CRCP (http://coralreef.noaa.gov/wgroups/resources/final/3threats_go.pdf,
http://coralreef.noaa.gov/wgroups/resources/final/intl_strategy.pdf) and
the NFWF Coral Reef Conservation Business Plan found at
www.nfwf/org/coralreef.
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation launched an on-line
application program in March of 2008.
Applicants can find information about the grant applications, including
templates and orientation webinars if needed, at
