Opportunity Summary:
The 2014-2018 Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout Monitoring and Habitat Improvement Project was a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, under Funding Opportunity Number R14AS00034. The program sat within the Natural Resources activity area and was connected to CFDA 15.560 (SECURE Water Act Research Agreements). The intent was to fund one primary award to support sustained, multi-year field work focused on Yellowstone cutthroat trout (YCT) and their habitat conditions in the South Fork Boise River.
The core purpose of the grant was to provide financial assistance to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) over a five-year period so the agency could continue collecting and maintaining long-term monitoring data on YCT populations and associated habitat characteristics. In practical terms, the opportunity emphasized continuity: keeping consistent monitoring efforts in place over multiple years so population trends, habitat changes, and management outcomes can be measured reliably rather than through isolated one-off studies. While the title references both monitoring and habitat improvement, the published description centers most directly on ongoing data collection related to YCT and habitat conditions in the South Fork Boise River, supporting river and fisheries management decisions.
A major expected outcome of the project was broad knowledge sharing beyond the immediate river system. The announcement states that information generated through the work would be shared with other public entities, used as educational material in both public and private institutions, and disseminated through professional journals and conferences. The goal was not only to understand local conditions for Yellowstone cutthroat trout in this specific watershed, but also to apply lessons learned across the West, particularly in places facing similar river management conditions. This emphasis suggests the project was intended to contribute to regional best practices in coldwater fisheries management, habitat monitoring, and decision-making where water operations and habitat needs intersect.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, the opportunity had an estimated total funding amount of $800,000, with an award ceiling of $800,000 and no stated minimum (award floor listed as $0). The grant did not require cost sharing or matching funds. Eligibility was limited to state governments, aligning with the named partner in the announcement, IDFG. The Bureau of Reclamation anticipated making one award, indicating a focused, single-recipient approach rather than a competitive multi-award competition.
Key dates for the opportunity show it was posted and created on March 13, 2014, with an original and current closing date of March 28, 2014, and an archive date of March 29, 2014. For support accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Lisa Strong, Financial Assistance Officer at the Bureau of Reclamation (phone 208-378-5138, email lstrong@usbr.gov).
