Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA NMFS PRPO 2020 2006163
The John H. Prescott Marine Mammal Rescue Assistance Grant Program, commonly called the Prescott Grant Program, is a NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) funding opportunity that supports the day-to-day and scientific work of the National Marine Mammal Stranding Network. It sits under NOAA NMFS's Marine Mammal Health and Stranding Response Program, which is authorized by the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). The larger purpose is to improve how the United States responds to stranded marine mammals and to strengthen the collection and sharing of reliable reference data on strandings, causes of illness or death, and broader health trends affecting wild marine mammal populations.
This program is designed to provide federal assistance in three main ways. First, it helps cover the basic operational needs required to respond to strandings and to treat animals when rehabilitation is appropriate, including the systematic collection of data from both live and dead stranded marine mammals. Second, it supports research projects that use stranding and rehabilitation-related information to answer focused scientific questions about why strandings occur, what health threats are emerging, and which rehabilitation or veterinary techniques work best. Third, it can fund facility operations that are directly tied to recovery, treatment, husbandry, necropsy work, sample handling, and associated data collection, with an emphasis on activities that strengthen the overall stranding response system and improve the quality and usefulness of the information generated.
For the fiscal year 2020 competition described in this notice, NOAA offered funding through either grants or cooperative agreements, reflecting that some projects may involve more direct federal involvement or coordination. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, and it falls under environment, natural resources, and science and technology/research and development activity areas. The program is listed under CFDA number 11.439 (a federal catalog identifier used to track assistance programs).
Eligibility is limited to specific applicants described as "others" with details provided in the full eligibility section of the announcement, but the core target audience is clear: eligible members of the National Marine Mammal Stranding Network. In practical terms, that generally means organizations and entities formally participating in NOAA's established stranding response framework, rather than the general public or organizations operating outside the recognized network.
Key administrative details in the announcement include the opportunity number (NOAA NMFS PRPO 2020 2006163) and a publication timeline showing the opportunity was created on August 9, 2019, with an original application closing date of October 11, 2019. NOAA anticipated making around 40 awards, with a stated award ceiling of $100,000 per award. The funding agency is the U.S. Department of Commerce, via NOAA.
The notice also emphasizes that applicants should read the announcement closely because some elements changed compared to the previous year. Beyond simply soliciting proposals, the document explains how to submit an application package for FY 2020 and outlines how NMFS will review and decide which proposals may be funded. In effect, the Prescott Grant Program functions as a targeted support mechanism to keep stranding network responders equipped and operational, encourage better and more standardized data collection, and advance applied research that can improve rescue, rehabilitation, and understanding of marine mammal health issues revealed through stranding events.Apply for NOAA NMFS PRPO 2020 2006163
