Description
The NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program/
General Coral Reef Conservation Grants (GCRCGP) provides funding to
institutions of higher education, non-profit organizations, commercial
organizations, Freely Associated State government agencies, and local
and Indian tribal governments to support coral reef conservation
projects in the United States and the Freely Associated States in the
Pacific, as authorized under the Coral Reef Conservation Act of 2000.
Projects funded through the GCRCGP support on-the ground efforts that:
(1) Help preserve, sustain and restore the condition of coral reef
ecosystems, (2) promote the wise management and sustainable use of
coral reef resources, (3) increase public knowledge and awareness of
coral reef ecosystems and issues regarding their conservation, and (4)
develop sound scientific information on the condition of coral reef
ecosystems and the threats to such ecosystems. Projects should
complement and fill gaps in state, territorial and commonwealth coral
reef programs, emphasize community-based conservation, or address local
action strategy priorities. Proposals selected for funding through this
solicitation require a 1:1 match and will be implemented through a
grant. Funding of up to $600,000 is expected to be available for GCRCGP
in FY 2010. These funds will be divided approximately equally among the
U.S. Pacific and Atlantic to maintain geographic balance, as outlined
in the Coral Reef Conservation Act of 2000. Awards will range from
$15,000-$50,000.
