Opportunity Summary:
The CTUIR Monitoring and Evaluations grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00012) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period, such as collaborating on technical direction, coordination, reporting expectations, or other aspects of implementation rather than simply issuing funds with minimal interaction.
The purpose of the award is to develop and implement a monitoring and evaluation program focused on fish releases in the lower Snake River, specifically within Oregon and Washington. The core project objective is to evaluate two main outcomes related to those releases: (1) survival, meaning how well released fish persist after release through key life stages or migration periods, and (2) harvest, meaning the extent to which those fish contribute to fisheries and are captured in legal harvest. In practical terms, this type of work commonly involves designing a monitoring framework, collecting field and/or tagging data, analyzing survival and return information, and producing evaluation results that can inform management decisions about release strategies, conservation goals, and fishery performance.
Eligibility for this opportunity is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The title indicates CTUIR, which commonly refers to the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, aligning with the eligible applicant category and the geographic focus in the Snake River region. Only one award was expected under this announcement, suggesting the agency anticipated funding a single recipient to carry out the defined monitoring and evaluation effort.
The award ceiling listed for the opportunity is $274,268, which represents the maximum anticipated federal funding amount for the project under this specific announcement. The opportunity was posted on October 27, 2015, created the same day, and had an original and current closing date of November 3, 2015, reflecting a short application window of roughly one week. The program is associated with CFDA numbers 15.661 (and an additional listing shown as 15.661 in the source data), placing it under federal assistance categories tied to natural resources and research and development activities.
Overall, this funding opportunity supports a targeted, applied natural resources research and monitoring project aimed at producing actionable findings on the effectiveness of fish releases in the lower Snake River, with emphasis on measurable outcomes like survival rates and harvest contributions, and is designed to be carried out by a federally recognized tribal government in coordination with DOI-FWS through a cooperative agreement.
