Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Development, Management, and Protection of Indian Tribal Water Resources" (Funding Opportunity Number 10SF1S0029) was offered by the Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region, to support federally recognized Indian Tribal governments with projects that strengthen tribal water resources. It is rooted in the agency's government-to-government relationship with Tribes and is administered through the region's Native American Affairs program, which coordinates work with roughly 50 Tribes across the Pacific Northwest and provides technical assistance aimed at using, protecting, and developing water-related tribal assets.
Funding was made available for federal fiscal year 2010, covering the period from October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010, and proposals were required to focus on practical, on-the-ground activities that improve the development, management, or protection of tribal water resources. The opportunity emphasized irrigation and water delivery efficiency improvements, with example projects including piping and/or lining canals and laterals, installing automation systems, adding water measurement devices, and making other upgrades that improve the efficiency and reliability of irrigation water supply, conveyance, and distribution infrastructure. While these examples were highlighted, the scope was not limited to them as long as the work clearly supported tribal water resource development, management, or protection.
This was a discretionary funding opportunity using either a grant or cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, and it fell under the Environment and Natural Resources activity category. The relevant CFDA program number was 15.519 (Indian Tribal Water Resources Development, Management, and Protection). Up to two awards were expected, with an estimated total program funding amount of $50,000 and an award ceiling of $50,000, meaning an individual award could be as large as the full amount available. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied, so applicants were expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the project as part of the overall budget.
Eligibility was limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and a key geographic requirement applied: to be considered, the proposed activity had to occur within the administrative boundaries of the Bureau of Reclamation's Snake River Area Office. The announcement was posted on December 22, 2009, and the application deadline was February 3, 2010, with the opportunity archived on February 4, 2010. For access issues or questions, the listed contact was Lisa Strong, Grants and Agreements Specialist, at 208-383-2204 or lstrong@usbr.gov.
