Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA NMFS FHQ 2022 2006956
The FY22 Saltonstall-Kennedy (S-K) Competition is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Commerce, administered through NOAA Fisheries (NMFS), that supports fisheries research and development projects designed to strengthen U.S. commercial and recreational fisheries. The program is rooted in the Saltonstall-Kennedy Act, which established the S-K fund so the Secretary of Commerce can award grants or cooperative agreements, on a competitive basis and subject to available funding, for practical projects that improve how U.S. fisheries operate and compete. The opportunity is broadly focused on real-world outcomes across the seafood system, including harvesting methods, processing, marketing, and the business infrastructure that supports fishing communities and working waterfronts.
A key feature of the S-K Program is its emphasis on helping fisheries and fishing communities optimize economic benefits while maintaining long-term sustainability. In practice, this means funding projects that help communities and businesses adapt to conservation and management measures, improve sustainable fishing and aquaculture practices, and find additional ways to use existing infrastructure so working waterfronts remain active and economically viable. The term "fisheries" is defined broadly for this competition and includes wild capture fisheries, marine aquaculture, and recreational fishing, reflecting the program's intent to support innovation across the full range of U.S. seafood production and fishing activity.
Applications to this competition must address at least one of the stated priorities: (1) Promotion, Development, and Marketing, or (2) Science or Technology that Promotes Sustainable U.S. Seafood Production and Harvesting. This structure allows proposals to range from market-oriented efforts that expand domestic or international demand for U.S. seafood, to applied research and technology development that improves sustainability, efficiency, product quality, or operational resilience. Overall, the program is designed to help U.S. fisheries remain competitive while supporting responsible practices and long-term resource stewardship.
Funding is capped at a maximum of $300,000 in federal funds per project for a project period of up to two years. Notably, matching funds are not required and are not considered during proposal evaluation, which lowers barriers for applicants who may not have access to non-federal cost share. NOAA anticipated making approximately 50 awards under this competition, with award start dates expected no earlier than September 1, 2022, indicating an intent to support a sizable cohort of projects across different regions, fisheries, and community needs.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NOAA-NMFS-FHQ-2022-2006956 and CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 11.427, and it allows awards through either grants or cooperative agreements. The original posting information shows a creation date of June 18, 2021, with an original closing date of November 29, 2021. Eligibility is described as "Others" with additional clarifications referenced in the full notice, which typically signals that eligibility may extend beyond a narrow set of applicant types and could include a mix of organizations involved in fisheries research, development, industry support, or community-based efforts, depending on the specific rules laid out in the NOFO.Apply for NOAA NMFS FHQ 2022 2006956
