The National Whale Conservation Fund is calling for
research and development proposals to keep whales out of commercial fishing nets
and prevent whales and ships from running into each other. The 2007 RFP is posted on the National
Fish and Wildlife Foundation's Web site. The deadline for applications is 8
August.
The Fund expects to award some $450,000 for these
projects, in amounts ranging from $50,000 to $200,000. Academic institutions,
not-for-profit organizations, and private companies in the United States and
overseas may compete for these grants. U.S. federal agencies are encouraged to
collaborate with private-sector organizations. Applicants will need to propose
matching funds, with 1:1 matches or better deemed the most competitive. However,
matches can include in-kind or volunteer services as well as cash.
