NOAA Community-based Restoration Program 3-year Partnership Grants
NOAA published an Omnibus Federal Register Notice June 12, 2006 to announce the availability of FY2007 competitive federal grant funds. Through NOAA's Community-based Restoration Program, funds are provided to establish national and regional partnerships for up to 3 years that provide subawards for individual, grass-roots restoration projects to restore fish habitat.
The program invites the public to submit proposals for available funding to establish multi-year national and regional habitat restoration partnerships that will benefit living marine resources, including anadromous fish, under the NOAA Community-based Restoration Program. The Federal Funding Opportunity (link below) describes the conditions under which applications (partnership proposals) will be accepted under the CRP and describes criteria under which applications will be evaluated for funding consideration. Partnerships funded through the CRP will be expected to have strong on-the-ground habitat restoration components that provide educational and social benefits for people and the communities in addition to long-term ecological habitat improvements for NOAA trust resources. Proposals selected for funding through this solicitation will be implemented through a grant or cooperative agreement mechanism.
