OpportunityTitle: Cooperative Research Program (CRP)
Description: CRP is a competitive Federal assistance program that funds projects seeking to increase and improve the working relationship between fisheries researchers from the NMFS, state fishery agencies, universities, and the U.S. fishing industry (recreational and commercial) in the Gulf of Mexico (FL, AL, MS, LA, TX), South Atlantic (FL, NC, SC, GA) and Caribbean (USVI and Puerto Rico). Congress has initiated the cooperative research funding to assist the NMFS in becoming more transparent by improving the confidence that both commercial industry and recreational fishermen have in the data and analyses performed in support of fisheries management.
