Opportunity Summary:
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS) announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Cutthroat trout hybridization and population genetics in the Lamar River" under Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00259. The project focus is on natural resources research, specifically examining hybridization patterns and population genetic structure of cutthroat trout in the Lamar River system. In practical terms, this kind of work typically supports resource managers by clarifying whether native cutthroat trout populations are genetically intact or showing signs of interbreeding with nonnative trout, and by identifying how genetically distinct different groups of fish are across the river network. That information can be used to guide conservation actions, monitor genetic health, and prioritize management or restoration decisions.
The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordination on study design, sampling locations, data sharing, or integration of findings into park management needs). The opportunity is categorized as discretionary, and the activity category is Natural Resources. The associated CFDA number is 15.945, which corresponds to National Park Service assistance programs.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, so the intended applicants are universities and similar public academic institutions capable of conducting fisheries genetics and field-based sampling work. The opportunity anticipates a single award, with an award ceiling of $39,668, indicating a small, targeted research effort rather than a large multi-year program. The posting and creation dates are both June 15, 2016. The closing date fields indicate "NOI," which suggests the timing was tied to a Notice of Intent process or that the formal application deadline was managed through an NOI-based workflow rather than a standard fixed closing date in the summary record.
Overall, this grant is a narrowly scoped research and monitoring project aimed at generating actionable genetic information about cutthroat trout in the Lamar River, administered by the National Park Service through a cooperative agreement with a qualified public university partner, with funding up to $39,668 for one anticipated award.

What is the main focus of the proposed project?
The project focuses on examining hybridization patterns and population genetic structure of cutthroat trout in the Lamar River system.
What does "hybridization" mean in the context of this project?
In this context, hybridization refers to interbreeding between native cutthroat trout and nonnative trout, which can affect whether native populations remain genetically intact.
What does "population genetics" mean for this grant?
Population genetics here refers to studying the genetic structure of cutthroat trout groups across the Lamar River network, including how genetically distinct different groups of fish are.
What kinds of outcomes is this research intended to support?
The work is intended to generate actionable genetic information that can support resource managers by clarifying genetic integrity, identifying distinct population groupings, and informing conservation, monitoring, and management or restoration decisions.
What funding instrument will be used?
The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement.
What does it mean that the award is a Cooperative Agreement?
A cooperative agreement generally indicates the National Park Service expects substantial involvement during the project period, such as coordination on study design, sampling locations, data sharing, or ensuring results connect to park management needs.
Who is eligible to apply?
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education (for example, public universities and similar public academic institutions).
Is the opportunity open to private universities or private organizations?
Based on the eligibility statement provided, the opportunity is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education.

What does "NOI" mean in the closing date field?
In the summary provided, "NOI" suggests a Notice of Intent process was used, or that the formal application deadline was managed through an NOI-based workflow instead of a typical fixed closing date shown in the record.
What river system is the research focused on?
The research is focused on the Lamar River system.
What species is being studied under this opportunity?
The opportunity is focused on cutthroat trout in the Lamar River system.
How might the results be used by resource managers?
The results can help managers determine whether cutthroat trout populations are genetically intact or showing signs of interbreeding with nonnative trout, understand genetic distinctness across the river network, guide conservation actions, monitor genetic health, and prioritize management or restoration decisions.
What type of partner does NPS appear to be seeking?
The eligibility restrictions and research scope indicate NPS is seeking a qualified public university partner capable of conducting fisheries genetics research and field-based sampling work.
