Research Set-Aside Program Seeking Applicants The Mid-Atlantic research set-aside program provides a mechanism to support research by compensating vessels through the sale of fish harvested under a research quota. Up to 3 percent of the total allowable landings in certain Mid-Atlantic fisheries may be dedicated to research endeavors in 2007. NOAA is soliciting proposals for research activities in the summer flounder, scup, black sea bass, Loligo squid, Illex squid, Atlantic mackerel, butterfish, bluefish, and tilefish fisheries. Projects must enhance understanding of the fishery resource or contribute to the body of information on which management decisions are made. Applications should be submitted through http://www.grants.gov (funding opportunity NMFS-NERO-2006-2000437). No Federal funds are provided for research under this notification; rather, it provides an opportunity to fish and sell catches to generate income that offsets research costs.
