Dear List Server Members - Sorry for any confusion. The due date for
the 2010 General Coral Reef Conservation Grants is *November 2, 2009
11:59 PM.*
The NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program announces the availability of
funding for General Coral Reef Conservation Grants (GCRCGP) for 2010.
Applications must be submitted by 11:59 PM EDT, November 2, 2009. This
program provides funding to institutions of higher education, non-profit
organizations, commercial organizations, Freely Associated State
government agencies, and local and Indian tribal governments to support
coral reef conservation projects in the United States and the Freely
Associated States in the Pacific, as authorized under the Coral Reef
Conservation Act of 2000.
Applicants can submit a grant application for work covering a period of
12 or 18 months at federal funding amounts ranging from $15,000 to a
maximum of $50,000; applications must include a 1:1 match obtained from
non federal sources. Applications must fall within at least one of the
following 4 categories:
1. Fishing Impacts;
2. Land-Based Sources of Pollution;
3. Climate Change; and
4. Local Action Strategy Projects.
In response to several factors, which include an external program
review, a new program manager, and recent threat abatement working group
efforts, the Coral Reef Conservation Program's priorities are being
refined and redirected. Information about these new program directions
as well as specific goals and objectives is available on the program's
website: http://coralreef.noaa.gov and will be updated regularly as
additional information becomes available. Consideration of these new
goals and objectives by applicants is strongly encouraged, as proposals
received by the Coral Reef Conservation Program will be evaluated as to
whether they address these specific goals and objectives and preference
in funding determinations will be given to those proposals that clearly
meet the stated goals and objectives outlined in the documents.
**** *All applicants must provide evidence of support for the project by
appropriate representatives of States or other government jurisdictions
in which the project will be conducted.
We encourage all potential applicants to thoroughly read the entire
funding announcement as aspects of the program have changed. The full
funding announcement and federal forms can be found at www.grants.gov
<http://www.grants.gov> using the Funding Opportunity Number:
NOAA-NMFS-HCPO-2010-2001951.
Applications should be submitted via www.grants.gov and must be received
by grants.gov no later than 11:59 PM EDT on November 2, 2009. If
www.grants.gov <http://www.grants.gov/> cannot be reasonably used,
applications can be sent by mail, but they must postmarked by November
2, 2009, and they must include original copies of the signed and dated
federal forms. Send to: Jennifer Koss, NOAA Coral Reef Conservation
