Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00247), titled "Analysis of Acoustic Tag Data from Juvenile Chinook Salmon 2012 Data and Historical Analyses," was offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Central Valley Project Improvement (CVPI) Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (AFRP), CFDA 15.648. It is a discretionary grant in the natural resources category, with a single expected award totaling $40,900. The award amount was fixed (both the ceiling and floor were $40,900), and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education.
The purpose of the project was to support statistical and quantitative analysis of a large acoustic telemetry dataset collected from migrating juvenile Chinook salmon moving through California's San Joaquin River and the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. Since 2006, researchers have collected spatially detailed acoustic tag detection data, and beginning in 2010 the studies became "spatially complete," meaning the tagging and receiver arrays were designed to provide more comprehensive coverage of migration pathways through the river-delta network. These data are used to estimate key management-relevant outcomes such as survival rates and route use (which channels or pathways fish take), and to evaluate how environmental drivers, especially river discharge or flow, relate to survival and movement patterns.
At the time of the announcement, analyses had already been completed for the 2010 and 2011 study years, but the 2012 dataset still needed comparable analysis. In addition to analyzing 2012 results, the opportunity emphasized the value of conducting a multi-year synthesis using the historical dataset (spanning back to 2006, and including the more comprehensive 2010-onward period). The rationale is that pooling or jointly analyzing multiple years can reveal broader, more reliable patterns in survival and routing, improve statistical power, and better characterize how flow conditions and other covariates influence outcomes across varying hydrologic years and operational conditions in the Delta.
A central requirement implied by the description is that the analytical approach must be tailored to both the study design and the structure of acoustic detection data. Telemetry datasets often involve imperfect detection, multiple migration routes, sequential detection stations, and time- and space-dependent survival processes. As a result, appropriate methods typically include specialized mark-recapture or multistate modeling frameworks, survival and movement models that account for detection probability, and covariate analyses linking survival or route selection to flow and other environmental variables. In short, the grant was aimed at funding a technically rigorous statistical analysis that could translate raw detection histories into defensible estimates and management insights about juvenile Chinook salmon performance through the San Joaquin River and Delta.
The opportunity was posted on June 22, 2012, with an original closing date of June 28, 2012, later updated to June 29, 2012, and archived June 30, 2012. For administrative or access issues, the listed contact was Dwight Luginbill, Grants/Agreement Assistant (209-334-2968 x340; dwightluginbill@fws.gov).

What was the main purpose of the project?
The project was intended to support statistical and quantitative analysis of a large acoustic telemetry dataset from migrating juvenile Chinook salmon moving through California's San Joaquin River and the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.
What type of data was being analyzed?
The project focused on acoustic tag detection data (acoustic telemetry) collected from tagged juvenile Chinook salmon as they migrated through a network of river and Delta pathways.
What study years were specifically mentioned?
The opportunity specifically mentioned analysis of the 2012 dataset, with additional emphasis on using the historical dataset spanning back to 2006.
What analyses had already been completed at the time of the announcement?
Analyses had already been completed for the 2010 and 2011 study years. The 2012 dataset still needed comparable analysis.
What does "spatially complete" mean in this context?
Beginning in 2010, the studies were described as "spatially complete," meaning the tagging and receiver arrays were designed to provide more comprehensive coverage of migration pathways through the river-Delta network.
What management-relevant outcomes were these data used to estimate?
The data were used to estimate outcomes such as survival rates and route use (which channels or pathways fish take) through the San Joaquin River and the Delta.
What environmental drivers were highlighted as important to evaluate?
The description emphasized evaluating how environmental drivers, especially river discharge or flow, relate to survival and movement patterns.
Why did the opportunity emphasize multi-year synthesis using historical data?
The rationale described was that pooling or jointly analyzing multiple years can reveal broader, more reliable patterns, improve statistical power, and better characterize how flow conditions and other covariates influence survival and routing across different hydrologic years and operational conditions in the Delta.
What kinds of statistical challenges are implied by acoustic telemetry data?
The opportunity noted that telemetry datasets often involve imperfect detection, multiple migration routes, sequential detection stations, and time- and space-dependent survival processes.
What kinds of analytical methods were implied as appropriate for this work?
The description implied the need for specialized analytical approaches tailored to the study design and detection-history structure, typically including mark-recapture or multistate modeling frameworks, survival and movement models that account for detection probability, and covariate analyses linking survival or route selection to flow and other environmental variables.
What was the overall goal of the analysis in practical terms?
The goal was to translate raw acoustic detection histories into defensible estimates and management insights about juvenile Chinook salmon performance through the San Joaquin River and the Delta.
When was the opportunity posted?
The opportunity was posted on June 22, 2012.
