Opportunity Summary:
The CVPCP and CVPIA Habitat Restoration Program funding opportunity (BOR-MP-16-0004) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (DOI-BOR). It supports projects under two related efforts: the Central Valley Project Conservation Program (CVPCP) and the Central Valley Project Improvement Act Habitat Restoration Program (HRP). The overarching purpose is to fund on-the-ground actions that address environmental impacts associated with the Central Valley Project (CVP) in California, with an emphasis on both habitat outcomes and benefits to native species affected by CVP operations and infrastructure.
For the FY 2017 funding cycle described in the announcement, Reclamation highlights two core objectives. The first is to protect and restore native habitats that have been impacted by the Central Valley Project. The second is to stabilize and improve populations of native species that have also been impacted by the CVP. The program is designed to make funding available through an open, competitive announcement process, which Reclamation notes will help advance these habitat and species recovery goals. While the opportunity can support a range of conservation and restoration activities consistent with those objectives, the announcement states that land acquisition projects will receive the highest priority for FY 2017. Applicants looking for examples of the types of projects typically supported are directed to Reclamation's CVPCP website, which maintains a list of previously funded projects (www.usbr.gov/mp/cvpcp).
Awards are expected to be made as grants or cooperative agreements, and selected applicants will enter into a financial assistance agreement with the Bureau of Reclamation. The period of performance is capped at five years from the date the award is issued, which signals that Reclamation is prepared to support multi-year projects but expects them to be completed within that timeframe. The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $1,000,000 and anticipates approximately 10 awards, giving a rough sense of typical maximum project scale and overall competitiveness for this round.
From an application logistics standpoint, the FOA was scheduled to be posted on Grants.gov around May 3, 2016 (with the posting date shown as May 2, 2016), and proposals were due by September 30, 2016, no later than 3:00 PM. The announcement makes clear that the FOA must be downloaded from Grants.gov and that no paper copies will be distributed, so applicants were expected to work entirely through the federal online system. It also emphasizes that System for Award Management (SAM) registration is mandatory: prospective recipients must be actively registered in SAM or they are ineligible for an award. SAM registration details are available at http://www.sam.gov, and this requirement is a common eligibility gate for federal financial assistance.
The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources and carries CFDA number 15.512. It is listed as open to individuals as eligible applicants in the source data, though in practice applicants typically need to confirm all eligibility conditions and any additional restrictions by reviewing the full FOA package on Grants.gov. For questions and official clarifications, the notice directs applicants to contact Teresa E. Brown at tebrown@usbr.gov via email or letter, which is important because agency responses to questions can sometimes affect how applicants interpret requirements or prioritize certain project elements.
