NOTE:
Submission requirements in this NOFO may change from previous year's announcements.
The S-K Program recommends reading the full announcement carefully, paying close attention to Section IV Application and Submission Information, for changes to application submission requirements.The objectives of the S-K Program and, therefore, the funding priorities for the S-K Grant Competition, have changed over the years since the program began in 198 0. The program has evolved as Federal fishery management laws and policies and research needs have evolved in response to changing circumstances.The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act requires fishery managers to undertake efforts to prevent overfishing, rebuild overfished fisheries, ensure conservation, minimize by-catch, protect essential fish habitats, and realize the full potential of U. S. fishery resources.
It further requires that the Federal government take into account the importance of fishery resources to fishing communities; provide for the sustained participation of such communities; and, to the extent possible, minimize the adverse economic impacts of conservation and management measures on such communities.The objective of the S-K Research and Development Program, referred to throughout this document as the S-K Program, is to promote U. S. fisheries by assisting the fishing community to address marketing and research needs.NMFS seeks applications that demonstrate direct benefits to U. S. fisheries and meaningful participation of fishing communities .
The S-K Grant Competition is open to applicants from a variety of sectors, including individuals, industry, academia, and state and local governments.
