Opportunity Summary:
The Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (AFRP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00054) is a discretionary, single-award federal grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.648, the Central Valley Project Improvement (CVPI) Anadromous Fish Restoration Program. Its central purpose is to support work that restores anadromous fish populations in California's Central Valley. Anadromous fish are species that migrate between freshwater and the ocean as part of their life cycle, so restoration efforts typically focus on improving conditions that allow these migrations and successful spawning and rearing to occur across connected river systems.
This opportunity was posted on January 23, 2013, with an application closing date of February 7, 2013, and it was later archived on February 28, 2013. The funding was structured as one expected award with a fixed total amount: the estimated total funding, the award ceiling, and the award floor were all the same at $768,383. In practical terms, that means the agency anticipated selecting one recipient for a single grant in the exact amount listed rather than making multiple awards or offering a range of potential award sizes.
Eligibility for this particular announcement was limited to small businesses, which is notable because many federal natural resource restoration programs are also open to state agencies, tribes, local governments, universities, or nonprofits depending on the specific solicitation. For this competition, the eligible applicant category explicitly states small businesses, indicating the program was seeking a private-sector partner capable of carrying out restoration-related work consistent with AFRP goals in the Central Valley.
The grant does not require cost sharing or matching funds, meaning the applicant would not need to contribute a required percentage of non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive under the stated terms. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, aligning the award with habitat and species recovery actions, and the funding instrument type is a grant (rather than a cooperative agreement or contract), suggesting the recipient would carry out the proposed project with federal support under standard grant administration and reporting expectations.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the notice provided a point of contact at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service: Dwight Luginbill, Grants and Agreements Assistant, reachable by phone at 209-334-2968 x340 and by email at dwightluginbill@fws.gov. The announcement also referenced an additional information link for the location of the funding opportunity, which would typically direct users to the official posting where full application instructions, evaluation criteria, required forms, and any specific technical priorities would be described.
