Synopsis

Section 812 of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act mandates collaboration among Federal, state, and local entities to research and monitor subsistence use of fish and wildlife on Federal public lands and waters, with an emphasis on local knowledge. The Federal government assumed responsibility for subsistence fisheries management on Federal public lands and waters in 1999, aiming to improve data quality, meaningful involvement by Alaska Native and rural organizations, and foster interagency collaboration to better manage subsistence fisheries in Alaska. The Fisheries Resource Monitoring Program (FRMP) was developed to collect and disseminate data to support subsistence fisheries management and stewardship. It prioritizes projects that enhance partnerships and capacity building for Alaska Native and rural non-profit organizations, and Federally recognized Tribal Government communities. Funding prioritizes projects meeting specific Priority Information Needs identified by Federal Subsistence Regional Advisory Councils available at the program’s website: https://www.doi.gov/subsistence/frmp/funding. Proposals must align with Priority Information Needs or provide strong justification for alternate priorities. Indicators of project success include technical rigor, administrative effectiveness, cost efficiency, incorporation of Indigenous Knowledges/Traditional Ecological Knowledges (IK/TEK), and active roles for rural community partners. Proposals should address one of six Alaska regions, with multi-regional classification if the project spans multiple regions. See “Guidelines for Project Investigation Plan, Executive Summary, and Budget” at the Monitoring Program’s webpage https://www.doi.gov/subsistence/frmp/funding for further details. The FRMP considers three primary data types: (1) harvest monitoring, (2) traditional ecological knowledge, and (3) stock status and trends, each with distinct research methods for comprehensive data collection. A project may address multiple data types. Eligibility is open to all applicants with the necessary resources and expertise for successful project completion. Alaska Native Organizations (ANO), rural non-profit organizations, and Federally recognized Tribal Governments are encouraged to apply.

Who can apply

Applicants should have the necessary technical and administrative abilities and resources to ensure successful completion of studies. To be considered for funding under the FRMP, a proposed project must have a direct linkage to Federal subsistence fishery management in Alaska. This means that either the subsistence fishery or fish stocks in question must occur in or pass through waters within and adjacent to Federal public lands in Alaska (i.e., National Wildlife Refuges, National Forests, National Parks and Preserves, National Conservation Areas, National Wild and Scenic River Systems, National Petroleum Reserves, National Trails System, Natural Wilderness Preservation System, and National Recreation Areas). Proposals that do not demonstrate a clear link to Federal subsistence fishery management in Alaska will not be considered. ANOs, rural non-profit organizations, and federally recognized Tribal Governments are encouraged to apply. Projects up to four years in duration are eligible for funding. Proposals requesting Monitoring Program funding that exceed $235,000 in any one year are not eligible for funding. Activities not eligible for funding under the Monitoring Program include: Habitat protection, mitigation, restoration, and enhancement. Hatchery propagation, restoration, enhancement, and supplementation. Contaminant assessment, evaluation, and monitoring. The rationale behind this approach is to ensure that existing responsibilities and effort by government agencies are not duplicated under the Monitoring Program. Land management or regulatory agencies already have direct responsibility, as well as specific programs, to address these activities. Projects where the primary or only objective is outreach and education (for example, science camps, student training, and intern programs), rather than information collection, are not eligible for funding under the Monitoring Program. These types of activities (educator, outreach coordinator, and intern positions…
