Opportunity Summary:
The Central Valley Project Conservation Program (CVPCP) and the Central Valley Project Improvement Act Habitat Restoration Program (HRP) grant opportunity is a discretionary federal funding announcement issued jointly by the Bureau of Reclamation (Mid-Pacific Regional Office) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The opportunity is designed to fund on-the-ground natural resource conservation and habitat restoration actions that support the short- and long-term objectives of these two Central Valley Project-related programs. It is structured as an open solicitation, meaning proposals are invited from a broad set of eligible applicants in order to generate a strong pipeline of competitive, high-quality projects that advance program goals rather than limiting funding to a narrow, pre-selected set of activities.
Funding is offered through grants (and may also be used for cooperative agreements, as indicated in the description) under Funding Opportunity Announcement number 09SF200001, associated with CFDA 15.517 (Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act). The total estimated funding available under this announcement is $3.2 million, with an expectation of about 15 awards. Individual awards are anticipated to range from a minimum (award floor) of $5,000 up to a maximum (award ceiling) of $1,000,000. The announcement specifies that there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which can reduce barriers for applicants that do not have access to non-federal match.
A wide variety of applicants are eligible to apply, reflecting the program's intent to fund conservation work across multiple sectors. Eligible applicants include state governments; county governments; city or township governments; special district governments; nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that category); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and individuals. This eligibility scope suggests the agencies are open to proposals ranging from local government habitat initiatives to nonprofit-led restoration projects and other conservation actions aligned with program priorities.
Administrative requirements include registration in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) system, which at the time of this announcement was the federal registration platform for entities seeking to do business with the U.S. government (with information referenced at http://www.ccr.gov). Key dates provided for the solicitation include a posted date of September 2, 2008, with a closing date of November 14, 2008, and an archive date of December 14, 2008. While these dates indicate the specific cycle described is historical, the summary captures the structure, funding scale, and applicant requirements reflected in the official listing.
For questions about the solicitation, the announcement directs applicants to contact Maria E. Castaneda via email at mcastaneda@mp.usbr.gov, and also lists program manager contacts: Mr. John Thomson at jthomson@mp.usbr.gov (Bureau of Reclamation) and Ms. Caroline Prose at carolineprose@fws.gov (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service). A phone contact is also provided for Maria Castaneda at 916-978-5148 for assistance, including help accessing the full announcement electronically.
