Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA NMFS SE 2022 2006998

The FY22 Cooperative Research Program (CRP) is a competitive federal funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). It is designed to support cooperative, on-the-water research efforts that bring together fisheries scientists and the fishing community, with a clear emphasis on strengthening working relationships among NMFS researchers, state fishery agencies, universities, and U.S. commercial and recreational fishermen. The central idea is to fund practical projects where fishermen are not just stakeholders being consulted, but active partners who help collect and contribute core fisheries information that can directly inform real-world management decisions and regulatory options.

Geographically, the program focuses on U.S. marine fisheries in three broad regions: the Gulf of Mexico (Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas), the South Atlantic (Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia), and the U.S. Caribbean (Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands). Projects proposed under this opportunity are expected to be relevant to fisheries and management needs within these areas, and to reflect the local realities of the fleets and communities operating there. In practice, that often means field-based research that can be executed in collaboration with working vessels, captains, and crews, and that produces data that managers and scientists can actually use.

The CRP is aligned with NOAA's broader mission to protect, restore, and manage coastal and ocean resources using an ecosystem approach to management. That mission alignment matters because it signals that the program is not only interested in narrow, single-species questions, but also in research that improves understanding of fisheries within their broader environmental and human context, especially when that understanding supports better stewardship and sustainable use. By focusing on cooperative work, the program also aims to improve trust, transparency, and shared ownership of scientific outcomes between the research community and the fishing industry.

Administratively, this opportunity was released as a discretionary funding competition under Funding Opportunity Number NOAA NMFS SE 2022 2006998 and is associated with CFDA number 11.454. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during the life of the project compared with a standard grant. While the eligibility category is listed as "Others" with further details referenced in the full notice, the program description makes clear that the intent is to fund partnerships that connect agencies, academic institutions, and industry participants in a structured way.

For FY22, the opportunity listed an expected four awards, with an award ceiling of $250,000 per award. The notice was created on August 12, 2021, and the original application closing date was October 22, 2021. Overall, the CRP can be understood as a targeted NOAA fisheries research funding program that prioritizes collaborative, industry-engaged data collection and applied science in the Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic, and Caribbean, with the end goal of producing stronger science, stronger partnerships, and better-informed fisheries management.
