| Description: | The purpose of this notice is to invite Non- Governmental Organizations with non-profit 501(c)(3) status, with expertise and experience in supporting coral reef management in U.S. and associated waters to submit a multi-year proposal for establishing a partnership for up to four years with the NOAA CRCP at both a national and international level to further the conservation of coral reefs. This document describes the coral reef conservation partnership that the CRCP envisions, identifies the qualities that NOAA desires in a partner, and describes criteria under which applications will be evaluated for funding consideration. Partnerships selected through this notice will be implemented through a multi-year cooperative agreement of up to four years in length. CRCP funding of up to $600,000 pursuant to section 6403 of the Coral Reef Conservation Act (CRCA) (16 U.S.C. 6401 et seq.) is expected to be available for initiating this partnership in FY 2009. Applications must include a generalized four year work program and a more specific work plan and budget for activities to be funded in FY 2009, in conformance with the requirements in Section IV below. Annual federal CRCP funding is anticipated to increase up to $1,000,000 for the subsequent three years of the agreement. However, annual funding levels and any increases over FY 2009 levels will be dependent upon future budgets appropriated by Congress, partnership success, and CRCP annual priorities. The CRCP requires the partnership to match NOAA cash contributions at a minimum of a 1:1 level overall, and will give priority to those partnerships that can provide cash match for project implementation funds. |
