The NCCOS Competitive Research Program (CRP) is pleased to announce a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to advance practical and cost-effective innovations for harmful algal bloom (HAB) toxin detection in seafood. This funding opportunity seeks to drive the development and advancement of efficient and effective point-of-use HAB toxin detection technologies.
Improved toxin detection will support seafood safety, food security, and the economic success of U.S. seafood industries and their competitiveness in global markets. The marine and fresh waters of the United States are increasingly impacted by the growing environmental problem of HABs.
The toxins produced by some HAB species accumulate in organisms such as marine mammals and shellfish, finfish and other seafood, and directly impact human health. Effects from consuming HAB toxin-contaminated seafood can range from gastrointestinal discomfort to severe neurological damage and death.
Recent efforts have emphasized the need for innovations in HAB toxin detection technology to ensure seafood safety, including increased speed, accuracy, and portability. Funding is contingent upon the availability of Federal appropriations. NCCOS CRP expects to fund two to five projects for one to three years each, with an approximate annual budget of $100,000 – $250,000 for each project.
Letters of intent are due April 14, 2026. Full applications are due July 16, 2026. View the full NOFO here .
