Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment" (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00311) is a discretionary U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) funding notice focused on evaluating how climate change may affect Pacific Lamprey, a species that USFWS identifies as a tribal trust species. The core purpose is to support a cooperative effort between USFWS and the Cow Creek Band to produce a climate change vulnerability assessment specifically for Pacific Lamprey, with an emphasis on coastal populations. The work is positioned as a partnership where the tribe plays a central role in supplying key information needed to complete the assessment.

The project description makes clear that USFWS is relying on the Cow Creek Band to provide demographic data, habitat information, and details on threats affecting Pacific Lamprey in coastal areas. In practical terms, this suggests the funded work would likely involve compiling and organizing population characteristics (such as distribution and relative abundance), documenting habitat conditions and requirements, and identifying existing and emerging stressors that could be intensified by climate change (for example, changes to stream temperature and flow regimes, habitat fragmentation, barriers to migration, and other local or regional pressures). The final product implied by the notice is an assessment that helps determine vulnerability and informs management or conservation decisions under changing climate conditions.

Funding is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project rather than a hands-off grant structure. The opportunity anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $5,773. The award ceiling is also $5,773, meaning that is the maximum expected amount available under this notice, while the award floor is listed as $0. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, so the applicant is not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.

Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments, aligning with the stated reliance on the Cow Creek Band and the designation of Pacific Lamprey as a tribal trust species. The funding activity category is listed as Environment, and the CFDA program number associated with the opportunity is 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance, which typically supports technical assistance and collaborative conservation work.

The notice was posted and created on August 15, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 30, 2013, indicating a short application window. Additional details and the full announcement were available through Grants.gov via the link provided in the posting. For access issues or questions, the listed contact is Robert Haverkate at USFWS, reachable by phone at 360-604-2519 or by email at BobHaverkate@fws.gov.
