Opportunity Summary:
The Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (AFRP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00055) was a discretionary federal grant issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) under CFDA 15.648, the Central Valley Project Improvement (CVPI) Anadromous Fish Restoration Program. Its stated purpose was straightforward: to support work that restores anadromous fish populations in California's Central Valley. Anadromous fish are species that migrate between the ocean and freshwater rivers to complete their life cycle, and in the Central Valley this commonly involves salmonid restoration priorities tied to river and tributary habitat conditions, migration access, and survival across different life stages.
This funding opportunity was structured as a single award, with an expected awards count of 1. The award amount was fixed rather than presented as a range: both the award ceiling and the award floor were listed as $383,914, indicating the agency anticipated one grant at that specific funding level. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or a matching contribution, which means applicants were not obligated to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The activity category was listed as Natural Resources, consistent with habitat, species recovery, and fisheries restoration work typically supported under AFRP/CVPI authorities.
Eligibility for this opportunity was limited to small businesses, which is notable because many restoration or conservation grant programs are open to states, tribes, nonprofits, or universities. Here, the government specifically targeted private-sector small business entities that could deliver restoration-related services or projects aligned with anadromous fish recovery goals in the Central Valley. The funding instrument type was a grant, meaning the recipient would carry out an approved scope of work with federal support under grant terms and conditions, rather than operating under a procurement contract.
Timing details show this was a short application window. The opportunity was posted and created on January 23, 2013, with an original and current closing date of February 7, 2013. It was archived on February 28, 2013. Although the listing included an "EstimatedTotalFunding" field showing 0, that appears to be an administrative or listing artifact, since the award amount was explicitly stated as $383,914.
Applicants were directed to find more details through Grants.gov, with an additional information link provided (http://www.grants.gov). For practical access issues, the listing named a point of contact for assistance: Dwight Luginbill, Grants Agreements Assistant at the Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable at 209-334-2968 ext. 340 or via email at dwightluginbill@fws.gov. This contact information was specifically provided for help accessing the full announcement electronically and for administrative support related to the opportunity.
