Opportunity Summary:
The Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA) FY 2016 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BOR MP 16 0001) is a discretionary grant program administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (DOI-BOR). It sits under CFDA 15.532 and supports work connected to the Trinity River Restoration Program (TRRP), a long-running, multi-agency restoration effort headquartered in Weaverville, California. The central purpose of the TRRP is to restore and sustain naturally spawning populations of anadromous fish in the Trinity River downstream of Lewiston Dam, with the stated target of returning fish production to pre-dam levels. Rather than focusing only on fish stocking or short-term fixes, the program emphasizes restoring natural river processes, reflecting a watershed and river-function approach to ecological recovery.
The opportunity is designed around collaboration because TRRP itself is a partnership that brings together federal agencies, tribes, state agencies, and local government. Key partners named in the opportunity include the Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, NOAA Fisheries, the U.S. Forest Service, the Hoopa Valley Tribe, the Yurok Tribe, the California Natural Resources Agency (including the Departments of Fish and Wildlife and Water Resources), and Trinity County. In practical terms, this signals that funded projects are expected to align with TRRP priorities and to fit within an interagency framework where projects may need to coordinate across permitting, biological objectives, and on-the-ground implementation considerations in the Trinity River basin.
Funding is provided as a grant, with an award ceiling of $500,000 per award, and the program anticipated making about 25 awards for this cycle. The posting and creation dates were January 15, 2016, and the application deadline (original and current) was March 1, 2016. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with a note to consult the detailed eligibility section in the full announcement for clarification, which typically means the Bureau of Reclamation may consider a range of applicant types beyond standard categories, depending on how the announcement defines qualified entities for TRRP-related work.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as a funding mechanism to advance Trinity River restoration actions that contribute to rebuilding anadromous fish populations by improving habitat and re-establishing river dynamics downstream of Lewiston Dam. It is part of the broader CVPIA framework and is implemented in a way that reflects the TRRP's multi-party governance and ecosystem restoration mission.
