Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) funding opportunity titled "Development and Coordination of Fish Habitat Improvement Projects in the Upper Salmon Region" (Funding Opportunity Number R14AS00059) is a discretionary federal grant offered through a cooperative agreement to support natural resource work focused on fish habitat improvement in Idaho's Upper Salmon Region. Reclamation is looking for one qualified Project Sponsor to take the lead role in coordinating and developing a pipeline of new and proposed habitat improvement projects. The emphasis is on organizing and moving projects forward rather than simply completing a single on-the-ground construction effort, meaning the Sponsor is expected to serve as the central coordinator who helps identify priorities, align partners, refine project concepts, and prepare projects so they can be implemented effectively.
This opportunity anticipates a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $350,000, which is also listed as the award ceiling. The award floor is $1, indicating proposals of varying sizes could technically be considered, but the program is structured around one main Sponsor award up to the available amount. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated, so applicants are not required to provide non-federal match funds as a condition of receiving the award. The assistance listing associated with the program is CFDA 15.517 under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, reflecting the federal intent to coordinate water and habitat-related activities with fish and wildlife conservation needs.
Eligibility is described as "unrestricted," meaning the competition is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may appear in the full announcement. In practice, this typically allows a wide range of applicants such as local governments, tribes, nonprofit organizations, academic institutions, and potentially other qualified entities, as long as they can demonstrate the capacity to lead regional coordination work and develop habitat improvement projects to a fundable, implementable stage.
Key dates in the listing show the opportunity was posted and created on July 9, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 10, 2014. The archive date is July 9, 2015, which indicates when the opportunity was removed from active listing status on Grants.gov. The awarding agency is the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, applicants should generally expect substantial federal involvement during the period of performance, such as collaboration with Reclamation staff on technical direction, coordination expectations, deliverables, and project development milestones.
For access to the full announcement and application package, the listing points to Grants.gov at http://www.grants.gov. For help obtaining or accessing the announcement, the listed point of contact is Melinda Ritacco, Financial Assistance Specialist, at 208-378-5103 and mritacco@usbr.gov.
