Description

The Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Office of Subsistence Management, administers the Fisheries Resource Monitoring Program. The Fisheries Resource Monitoring Program (FRMP) is seeking technically sound projects that gather information to manage and conserve subsistence fishery resources in Alaska. The program also develops fisheries management expertise within Alaska Native and rural organizations and promotes collaboration among Federal, State, Alaska Native and local organizations. The Fisheries Resource Monitoring Program encompasses awards made through both Federal assistance and procurement instruments (contracts). This Request for Proposals is the single designated annual competition through which multiple awards will be made. This Request for Proposals # 701817R015 is simultaneously posted on http://www.fedbizopps.gov and http://www.grants.gov. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will determine the instrument by which successful projects are ultimately funded utilizing the criteria in the Federal Grants and Cooperative Agreements Act of 1977 to distinguish between financial assistance and procurement. As in past years, studies that gather, analyze, and report information needs for effective subsistence fisheries management on Federal public lands in Alaska (National Wildlife Refuges, National Forests, National Parks and Preserves, National Conservation Areas, National Wild and Scenic River Systems, National Petroleum Reserves, and National Recreation Areas) will be considered. The Federal Subsistence Board (Board) has established guidelines for proposals to successfully compete for funding. Activities that are outside the scope of the Monitoring Program and will not be considered include: habitat protection, mitigation, restoration, and enhancement; hatchery propagation, restoration, enhancement and supplementation; and contaminant assessment, evaluation, and monitoring. These important activities are most appropriately addressed by the responsible land management or regulatory agency, not the Monitoring Program. In addition, projects where the primary objective is capacity building (e.g., science camps, technician training, intern programs), are not eligible for funding under the Monitoring Program. However, monitoring projects with capacity building as a secondary objective are encouraged, and partnerships/capacity building is one of four ranking criteria used to evaluate proposals. The Monitoring Program provides $6.25 million annually in funding to support research and monitoring of Federal subsistence fisheries in Alaska. The funding commitments to multiple year projects influence the amount of funding available each year for new projects. In 2008, approximately $2.2 million will be available to fund new monitoring and research projects needed to sustain Federal subsistence fisheries for rural Alaskans on Federal lands; remaining funding is obligated to existing projects. There is no "bidder's list" to get on. There is no Soliciation Package to Request. At this time you may visit the following website to download the Solicitation Package, Guidelines for Preparing Proposals, and Priority Information Needs http://alaska.fws.gov/asm/fisapply.cfm In the event you experience difficulties in accessing or downloading information from http://alaska.fws.gov/asm/fisapply.cfm contact Kathleen Orzechowski at (907) 786-3645 or e-mail to fisheries_resource_monitoring@fws.gov Proposals are to be submitted to the Office of Subsistence Management by January 15, 2007, 4:30 PM Alaska time. It is the applicant's responsiblity to confirm receipt of your proposal by the Service.
