Description
This BAA is for the National Marine Fisheries Service, also known as NOAA Fisheries. The purpose of this notice is to request applications for special projects and programs associated with the NOAA Fisheries strategic plan and mission goals, as well as to provide the general public with information and guidelines on how NOAA will select applications and administer discretionary Federal assistance under this Broad Agency Announcement (BAA). This notice is not a mechanism to fund existing NOAA awards. Each NOAA Line Office that supports financial assistance (National Marine Fisheries Service, National Ocean Service, National Weather Service, Office of Atmospheric Research, Office of Education, and National Environmental Satellite Data Information Service) has a separate BAA found in Grants.gov, so applicants should submit their application to the BAA for the Line Office that best fits their application. A description of NOAA Line Offices is found at https://www.corporateservices.noaa.gov/public/lineoffices.html and https://www.noaa.gov/office-education. Applicants may also contact the Agency Contact below for more information. If you submit the same application to more than Line Office, mention this in your application and notify the relevant contacts so that NOAA may coordinate internally.
