$250,000 are unlikely.

Award amounts will be determined by the

proposals and available funds.

There is no set minimum or maximum

amount, within the available funding, for any award.

There is also no

limit on the number of applications that can be submitted by the same

applicant; however, multiple applications submitted by the same

applicant must clearly identify different projects.

If an application

for a financial assistance award is selected for funding, NOAA/NMFS has

no obligation to provide any additional funding in connection with that

award in subsequent years.

Notwithstanding verbal or written assurance

that may have been received, pre-award costs are not allowed under the

award unless approved by the NOAA Grants Officer.
