Opportunity Summary:
The 2011 Yukon River Salmon Research and Management Projects opportunity is a competitive grant and cooperative agreement program run by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to support research and management work on Chinook and chum salmon in the Alaska portion of the Yukon River drainage. The funding comes from appropriations tied to U.S. implementation of the Yukon River Salmon Agreement with Canada (reached in March 2001) and is authorized under the Yukon River Salmon Act of 2000. The core purpose is to fund cooperative projects and studies that improve scientific understanding of these salmon populations and strengthen the ability of fishery managers and communities to manage them effectively.
This solicitation specifically calls for initial proposals for projects that are one year in length. The process is staged: applicants first submit a shorter initial proposal, which is reviewed for scientific and technical merit by the U.S. Section of the Yukon River Panel. Applicants whose concepts are selected are then invited to submit a more detailed proposal for final review. During the review process, the Panel may ask questions, request clarifications, and negotiate details with applicants whose proposals appear promising. Proposals can be removed from consideration if requested clarifications are not provided within the timeframe set by the Panel. After Panel review, recommendations are forwarded to USFWS, which makes the final award decisions and issues the official financial assistance documents, provided the selected projects meet federal requirements and funds remain available.
The program’s funding priorities are organized around four main themes. First is assessing and achieving fishery management objectives, which can include projects that improve run assessment, stock monitoring, harvest management tools, and in-season decision support. Second is assessing, conserving, and restoring salmon habitats, covering work that identifies limiting factors, protects critical habitats, or supports restoration in ways that benefit Chinook and chum salmon. Third is improving understanding of salmon biology and ecology, such as research on life history, productivity, survival, growth, spawning success, or environmental drivers. Fourth is building and maintaining public support and meaningful participation in salmon resource management, which can include outreach, co-management support, and efforts that strengthen community involvement and confidence in management processes.
Key funding details from the announcement include an estimated total program funding level of $400,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $2,500. The agency expected to make around 10 awards. The funding instrument types listed are both grants and cooperative agreements, and the activity categories are environment, natural resources, and science and technology research and development. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications included in the full announcement.
The timeline listed in the notice shows it was posted on September 2, 2010, with an application closing date of October 8, 2010, and an archive date of November 7, 2010. The opportunity is tracked under Funding Opportunity Number 70181AR065 and is associated with CFDA 15.608 (Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance).
To give applicants a sense of the kinds of activities supported, the announcement lists examples of projects funded in the previous year. These include monitoring and assessment efforts like age/sex/length sampling for fall chum salmon in the Chandalar River, a Chinook salmon carcass survey on the East Fork Andreafsky River, test fish wheel and test fishing projects (including Subdistrict 5A and Pilot Station exploratory testfishing), a Mountain Village fall season gillnet test fishery, and the Salcha River Chinook and chum salmon counting tower. It also highlights infrastructure or operational support such as relocating the Anvik sonar site and extended field operations at Pilot Station, plus technical assistance for Tanana River fish wheel monitoring using remote video technology. The list also includes a focused research project exploring the relationship between Chinook salmon growth and fecundity, showing that both applied management monitoring and more targeted biological research are within scope.
