Opportunity Summary:
The Comparative Survival Study Delayed Mortality Workshop grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 13310 A J126) was a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. It was posted on July 30, 2010, and closed on August 10, 2010, with an archive date of September 9, 2010. The funding was set as a single award, with a total and fixed amount of $23,995 (award floor and ceiling were both $23,995), and it did not require cost sharing or matching funds. Eligible applicants were limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), although the announcement makes clear it was structured as a noncompetitive, single-source award.
The purpose of the award was to support a delayed mortality workshop connected to the Columbia River Comparative Survival Study, a long-running effort focused on understanding survival rates of salmon as they migrate through the Columbia and Snake River hydrosystem. The workshop concept centers on a "weight of evidence" assessment, meaning a structured review of available data, analyses, and scientific interpretations to evaluate delayed mortality issues in a coordinated setting with relevant agencies and experts. This work is positioned as a practical piece of salmon restoration and management decision support, intended to inform future hydrosystem operations and related management options in the Snake and Columbia River basins.
A key feature of this opportunity is that it was explicitly justified as a single-source, noncompetitive grant. The agency cited two main justification criteria: continuation of ongoing work and unique qualifications. The intended grantee was the Fish Passage Center (FPC) of the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC). The justification argued that FPC was uniquely qualified because its staff already had deep familiarity with the technical details of the Comparative Survival Study and delayed mortality questions, because FPC manages the underlying project and therefore has direct access to essential datasets and analytical products, and because FPC has the technical expertise and coordination capacity to convene and facilitate a detailed interagency workshop. The announcement also emphasizes that competition could harm the project by disrupting continuity in ongoing salmon restoration programs and by placing the work with an entity that would not have comparable access to the needed data, analyses, and established coordination relationships.
For administrative questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Robert Haverkate, Agreements Assistant, reachable by phone at 360-604-2519.
