Opportunity Summary:
The Bull Trout Recovery Plan grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWS 2011 IFWO R1 ES NOI 02) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Endangered Species Conservation - Recovery Implementation Funds program (CFDA 15.657). Its core purpose is to support the completion of bull trout recovery planning by strengthening and finalizing a recovery plan that lays out clear recovery objectives and measurable criteria aimed at ultimately recovering and delisting bull trout under the Endangered Species Act. In practical terms, the funding is meant to help move recovery planning from broad goals to a workable, state-informed plan that can guide on-the-ground recovery actions and the benchmarks used to judge progress.
The project is structured around collaboration with two key Idaho entities: the Idaho Governors Office of Species Conservation (OSC) and the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG). OSCs role is primarily policy and coordination focused. It is expected to participate in statewide policy coordination on behalf of Idaho agencies and departments, ensuring that these state partners provide consolidated input to the Fish and Wildlife Service. That input is intended to inform the final recovery plan in a way that reflects the interests and perspectives of Idaho stakeholders and agencies, reducing the risk of gaps, conflicts, or missing considerations during final plan development. IDFGs role is more technical and science-focused, providing subject-matter input tied to Idaho-specific recovery planning needs. This includes informing the design or refinement of recovery units within Idaho and helping define recovery criteria that are biologically meaningful and suitable for evaluating bull trout recovery progress in the state.
Funding for the opportunity is set at a total of 41,000 dollars, with a single expected award. The award ceiling and floor are both 41,000 dollars, meaning the opportunity is effectively designed as one fixed-size award rather than a range of possible funding amounts. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers barriers for eligible applicants and indicates the federal funding is intended to fully cover the supported planning work within the scope of the agreement. The eligible applicant pool is limited to state governments, consistent with the cooperative nature of the work and the identified roles for Idaho state offices.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on July 22, 2011, with an application closing date of August 5, 2011, and it was archived on August 19, 2011. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that the federal agency anticipates substantial involvement during the project, such as coordination, review, and iterative collaboration as planning products are developed. For questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Ted Koch, Fish and Wildlife Biologist, reachable by phone at 208-378-5293.
