Opportunity Summary:
The 2012 Yukon River Salmon Research Management Projects opportunity was a competitive funding program run by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to support one-year research and management projects focused on Chinook and chum salmon in the Alaska portion of the Yukon River. The funding comes from the federal Yukon River Salmon Act of 2000, which authorizes U.S. support for implementing the Yukon River Salmon Agreement with Canada (reached in March 2001). In practical terms, the program was designed to strengthen the science and tools used to manage Yukon River salmon by paying for targeted studies that improve stock assessment, monitoring, habitat understanding, and public involvement in management.
Projects were evaluated against four priority categories set by the U.S. Delegation of the Yukon River Panel, listed from highest to lowest importance. The top priority was to assess and achieve fishery management objectives. This category emphasized work such as building and expanding genetic baselines for Yukon salmon stocks, using genetic stock identification to determine what stocks are present in mixed runs, improving in-season run size estimates and stock-specific estimates at the river mouth, monitoring escapement by Alaskan geographic units, developing or adopting new methods that increase management and research capability, and refining in-season border passage estimates. Overall, the emphasis was on actionable information that can be used quickly and credibly in real-time management decisions.
The second priority was assessing, conserving, and restoring salmon habitat. Eligible project ideas included habitat monitoring; identifying and characterizing spawning and rearing habitats; evaluating potential impacts to habitat; identifying and monitoring key spawning streams or index areas; and finding and implementing restoration opportunities. This category aimed to ensure that management is not only about harvest and run forecasts, but also about the condition and resilience of the places salmon depend on to reproduce and grow.
The third priority area focused on improving understanding of salmon biology and ecology. The program encouraged projects that would develop scientifically grounded biological escapement goals for Canadian-origin salmon, generate population estimates for Yukon River stocks, assess the quality of escapements (including attributes like age, size, sex composition, and overall health), and investigate relationships between salmon and their physical environment as well as interactions with other organisms. These topics support longer-term management by clarifying how populations respond to environmental variation and ecological pressures.
The fourth priority was building and maintaining public support for salmon management and ensuring meaningful participation. Fundable work in this area included developing shared understanding between agencies and the public (ideally demonstrated through an independent third party), building and sustaining community capacity, encouraging stewardship, and promoting public values associated with salmon. A notable expectation across the opportunity was that applicants were strongly encouraged to incorporate local capacity by working with members of Yukon River communities. Coordination with state and federal regulatory agencies was recommended but not required.
Administratively, this was a discretionary funding opportunity offering grants and cooperative agreements, with an estimated total funding level of about $400,000. The program anticipated roughly 15 awards, with an award ceiling of $100,000 per project and no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility was broad, including nonprofit organizations, public and private educational institutions, federal, state, local, and tribal governments and organizations, and individuals. The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F11PS01558) was posted on September 2, 2011, and proposals were due October 7, 2011, for projects intended to meet 2012 research and management priorities.
For program and application questions, the announcement listed Aaron Martin at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Fairbanks, Alaska (FAIRUSRM@fws.gov, 907-455-1870), and also provided a contracting contact, Richard Primmer (907-786-3611), for assistance accessing the full announcement.
