Opportunity Summary:
The 2010 Request for Initial Proposals for Yukon River Salmon Research and Management Projects is a competitive federal funding opportunity administered by 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 in Alaska. The money comes from funds authorized under the Yukon River Salmon Act of 2000 to implement the Yukon River Salmon Agreement reached with Canada in March 2001. The overall purpose is to fund studies and projects that measurably improve scientific understanding and management of these salmon stocks within the U.S. portion of the Yukon River drainage, with selections guided by scientific and technical merit and alignment with program priorities described in the full announcement.
This solicitation is specifically a call for initial proposals for projects that are one year in length. It is structured as a multi-step process: applicants first submit a shorter initial proposal, and only those initial proposals that are selected will be invited to submit a more detailed, full proposal for final review. The initial proposals are reviewed by the U.S. Section of the Yukon River Panel (the Panel), which can ask applicants questions, request clarifications, and negotiate elements of promising projects before making final recommendations. If an applicant does not respond to clarification requests in a timely way, the Panel can remove that proposal from consideration. After the Panel completes its review, it forwards project recommendations to the Fish and Wildlife Service, which then determines final funding decisions and issues the appropriate award documents, assuming proposals meet all applicable federal requirements and sufficient funds are available.
Funding can be issued through several mechanisms depending on the project and the applicant relationship with the government, including grants, cooperative agreements, procurement contracts, and purchase orders. The total estimated funding available for this cycle is about $390,000, with an expected 10 awards. Individual award amounts are anticipated to range from $5,000 (award floor) up to $100,000 (award ceiling). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed for applicants, which lowers the barrier to entry for smaller organizations or community-based partners.
Eligible applicants are broad and include state governments, county and city or township governments, independent school districts, public and private institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments, other Native American tribal organizations, nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits), and individuals. The program is categorized under Environment and Natural Resources and is associated with CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance, which signals that projects are expected to contribute directly to fish and wildlife management capacity and outcomes.
Key dates for this 2010 call were a posted date of September 1, 2009, with an application closing date of October 9, 2009, and an archive date of November 8, 2009. Applicants were directed to consult the full funding announcement for the exact priority topics, required content, and formatting for the initial proposal, since those details govern how proposals are scored and whether they are considered responsive. The notice also mentions that the synopsis appeared in two places (the grant portal and a corresponding FedBizOpps posting), but applicants only needed to respond once because the request for proposals covered submissions across both venues.
For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed point of contact was Ken Russel at 907-455-1870.
