Opportunity Summary:
This 2009 funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 701819R002) is a competitive request from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 7, to support cooperative research and management work focused on Chinook and chum salmon in the Yukon River drainage within the United States (Alaska). The money comes from federal appropriations tied to implementation of the Yukon River Salmon Agreement with Canada (signed in March 2001) and authorized under the Yukon River Salmon Act of 2000. The overall purpose is to fund studies and on-the-ground management projects that strengthen scientific understanding of Yukon River salmon and improve how these runs are assessed and managed.
The request is specifically for initial proposals for projects that are one year in length. Applicants do not submit a full, lengthy technical proposal at the start; instead, they submit an initial concept-style proposal following the format and content requirements described in the full announcement (including the stated funding priorities). The U.S. Section of the Yukon River Panel reviews these initial proposals, focusing on scientific and technical merit and how well each proposed effort advances salmon research or management needs in the U.S. portion of the basin. If an initial proposal is selected as promising, the applicant is then invited to submit a detailed proposal for final review. During the review process, the Panel can ask for clarifications, request additional information, and negotiate aspects of a proposal prior to final selection, and it can remove proposals from consideration if requested clarifications are not provided on time. After the Panel develops its recommended project selections, those recommendations are forwarded to the Service, which then decides on funding and issues the appropriate award instruments (financial assistance and/or contractual documents) for proposals that meet federal requirements and for which funds are available.
Funding is offered as a discretionary grant opportunity under CFDA 15.608 (Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance). The program anticipated making about 10 awards, supported by an estimated total funding amount of $410,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $5,000 to a ceiling of $150,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed, meaning applicants were not required to provide matching funds to be eligible, although the full announcement would typically outline whether leveraging other resources could strengthen competitiveness.
Eligibility was broad and included many common public, private, and tribal entities, as well as individuals. Eligible applicants included federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, state governments, county and city or township governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions), small businesses, and individuals. In practice, this wide eligibility aligns with the program’s cooperative intent, since effective Yukon River salmon research and management often involves partnerships among agencies, universities, tribes, local governments, and community-based organizations.
Key dates show the announcement was posted September 9, 2008, with an application deadline of October 10, 2008, and an archive date of November 9, 2008. The synopsis notes there was also a parallel posting on FedBizOpps.gov, but applicants were told it was unnecessary to respond in both places because this request covered submissions from either venue. For help accessing the full announcement, the contact listed was Richard Primmer, Contract Specialist, at 907-786-3611.
