FY 2024 - 2026 Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), National Marine Fisheries Service

Funds new NOAA Fisheries projects year-round through the agency's standing, no-fixed-topic funding notice.

The National Marine Fisheries Service keeps one funding notice open at almost all times, so new work tied to its mission doesn't have to wait for a topic-specific announcement to be written. This is that notice.

What it pays for is any special project or program that fits NOAA Fisheries' strategic plan and mission goals — habitat, stock assessments, aquaculture, gear technology, education, whatev

Any special project or program that fits National Marine Fisheries Service's strategic plan and mission goals, funded through the same standing Broad Agency Announcement structure every NOAA line office runs — new work only, not a renewal of an existing award, and subject to NOAA holding the statutory authority to fund the specific activity proposed.
