Opportunity Summary:
The Central Valley Project Improvement (CVPI) Anadromous Fish Restoration Program opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00236) was a discretionary federal funding announcement issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) under CFDA 15.648. It was released in mid-June 2014 (posted June 18, 2014; created June 16, 2014) with a very short application window, closing on June 24, 2014, and it was archived on June 26, 2014. The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work (for example, coordination on methods, deliverables, and ongoing technical direction), rather than simply issuing a grant and receiving periodic reports.
The purpose of the award was to support the FWS Comprehensive Assessment and Monitoring Program (CAMP) in Sacramento, California. The work described centered on providing technical and operational services that enable CAMP to generate reliable estimates of juvenile Chinook salmon production. In practical terms, the opportunity sought a recipient capable of supplying statistical expertise (such as analytical design support, estimation methods, uncertainty handling, and interpretation), database support (including managing data structures, quality control, integration, and accessibility), and maintenance of a computerized platform used to produce juvenile salmon production estimates. The emphasis on a maintained platform suggests the project was not only about one-time analysis, but also about keeping a functioning, repeatable system in place that CAMP could rely on for consistent outputs over time.
Financially, the announcement anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $135,000. The award ceiling was listed as $135,000 and the award floor as $100,000, indicating the expected award size would fall within that range. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), but the announcement also stated that the recipient had already been selected and referenced an attached Notice of Intent to Award. That detail strongly indicates the public posting functioned largely as an administrative or compliance step rather than a truly open competition where multiple applicants would be evaluated for selection.
The program area fits within environmental and natural resources, as well as science, technology, and other research and development activity categories, reflecting the technical monitoring and assessment focus tied to anadromous fish restoration objectives. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Connie Sauer, Grants Assistant, reachable by phone at 503-872-2826 or by email at ConnieSauer@fws.gov. The additional information link was provided via Grants.gov.
