Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R12AS20022) was issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Mid-Pacific Region, and describes the agency's intent to make a single discretionary award in the form of a cooperative agreement. The project is titled "Assessment of ecological roles of gravel bar features restored by gravel augmentation and channel rehabilitation activities below Lewiston Dam," and it focuses on evaluating how restored gravel bar features function ecologically after habitat improvement work has been performed downstream of Lewiston Dam.
The central purpose of the project is to support river and fish habitat restoration by rebuilding or enhancing complex habitat structures in a river channel. The work is framed around gravel augmentation and channel rehabilitation, meaning gravel is added and the channel is physically improved in ways meant to better mimic natural river processes. These improvements are intended to create or enhance habitat features that serve different needs across multiple life stages of anadromous salmonids (fish like salmon and steelhead that migrate from the ocean to freshwater to spawn). The opportunity also notes that benefits are expected to extend beyond salmonids to other aquatic animals, implying a broader ecosystem focus where improved physical habitat can support a wider set of species.
Administratively, the announcement is a Notice of Intent to Award, indicating the Bureau of Reclamation planned to make the award specifically to the University of California, Berkeley, rather than running a broad open competition among many applicants. Even so, the listing identifies eligible applicants generally as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, consistent with the planned recipient. The activity category is labeled as "Other," clarified as channel rehabilitation, and the opportunity is tied to CFDA number 15.517 under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act.
In terms of funding details, the agency anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $15,000. The award ceiling is also $15,000, and the award floor is listed as $0. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. The opportunity was posted and created on June 12, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 26, 2012, and it was archived on June 27, 2012.
The notice also includes compliance and procedural information. It states that Central Contractor Registration (CCR) requirements apply, which at the time was the federal vendor/grantee registration system used to validate and manage entities doing business with the federal government (now generally handled through SAM.gov in modern federal processes). For questions, the listed point of contact is Christina Munoz, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by email at cmunoz@usbr.gov, and she is also the contact for assistance accessing the full announcement electronically.
