Opportunity Summary:
The "Brook Trout Suppression in the Upper Malheur River" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 11SS1S0040) is a 2011 Bureau of Reclamation notice explaining the agency's intent to enter into a single grant agreement, rather than an open competitive solicitation. In other words, it is not asking the public to apply. Instead, it serves as a formal public announcement that Reclamation planned to award a grant in 2011 to the Burns Paiute Tribe under a discretionary grant instrument.
The purpose of the agreement is to support monitoring work tied to ongoing brook trout removal efforts in the Upper Malheur River. Non-native brook trout are present in high numbers in this area, and the announcement frames them as a significant ecological problem because they threaten the long-term viability of federally threatened bull trout. The concern is not only that brook trout can outcompete bull trout for habitat and resources, but also that they can hybridize with them, which can undermine the genetic integrity and recovery potential of native populations. The monitoring funded through this grant focuses on tracking the relative abundance of brook trout following removal actions, essentially measuring how effective suppression efforts are over time and providing data that can guide future management decisions.
Reclamation describes the broader benefit as strengthening the Burns Paiute Tribe's capacity to manage and protect water resources. By pairing removal with structured monitoring, the project is intended to produce practical, management-ready information, helping the Tribe and partners evaluate progress and adapt strategies to better support bull trout conservation outcomes in the Upper Malheur River system.
Administratively, the announcement lists the program as CFDA 15.519 (Indian Tribal Water Resources Development, Management, and Protection) and categorizes the activity area as Environment and Natural Resources. The expected number of awards is one, with total estimated funding of $28,658 and an award ceiling of $28,658. The eligible applicant category shown is federally recognized Native American tribal governments, consistent with the intended recipient being the Burns Paiute Tribe. The notice was posted and created on July 29, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 12, 2011, and an archive date of August 13, 2011. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated in the opportunity data, even though the narrative references the Tribe using cost share funds from Reclamation in connection with the monitoring effort.
