    Additional Information on Eligibility: All applicants must submit a Prescott Letter of Eligibility with the application in order to be considered for an award. The Prescott Letter of Eligibility states that you and/or your organization are either a Stranding or Entanglement Response Network participant in good standing, or collaborating with a Stranding or Entanglement Response Network member. In addition, the Letter of Eligibility must state whether you are a new applicant who has never had a Prescott application accepted and reviewed during the technical review process of a previous Prescott competition. For Priority # 1, 2, 3, and 4 (stranding operations, entanglement response, workshops/training, and outreach), proposals applicants may request a letter from their NMFS Regional Stranding Coordinator. For Priority # 5 and 6 (service and diagnostic laboratory, or research), proposal applicants may request a letter from the Prescott Grant Program Manager, (arthur.wong@noaa.gov). Diagnostic laboratories should include a summary of their capabilities, services proposed, and their turn-around time (if applicable), as part of their request. For research applications (Priority #6), the applicant does not need to be a Stranding or Entanglement Response Network participant but must provide in the proposal a letter of collaboration from one or more participants in good standing that will work with them on the proposed activities. It is the applicant's responsibility to obtain all necessary federal, local/state permits and approvals (including co-investigator and/or researcher authorization letters) prior to awarding of funds. Please see the Prescott Grant Program FAQs to learn more about eligibility, permits, and approvals. For further information on permit requirements and application procedures, please contact the Prescott Grant Program Manager.

    Description:

    NOAA/National Marine Fisheries Service’s (NMFS) Marine Mammal Health and Stranding Response Program (MMHSRP) is mandated under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) to facilitate collecting and disseminating reference data on stranded marine mammals (cetaceans and pinnipeds, excluding walrus) and the health trends of marine mammal populations in the wild. The John H. Prescott Marine Mammal Rescue Assistance Grant Program is administered by NMFS to provide federal assistance to eligible members of the U.S. National Marine Mammal Stranding Network, the U.S. National Entanglement Response Network, and their collaborators to provide for: (A) the recovery, care, or treatment of sick, injured, or entangled marine mammals; (B) responses to marine mammal stranding events that require emergency assistance; (C) the collection of data and samples from living or dead stranded marine mammals for scientific research or assessments regarding marine mammal health; (D) facility operating costs that are directly related to activities described in (A), (B), or (C); and (E) development of stranding network capacity, including training for emergency response, where facilities do not exist or are sparse. This document describes how to submit proposals for funding in fiscal year (FY) 2025 and how NMFS will determine which proposals are selected for funding.
