Opportunity Summary:
The Development, Management, and Protection of Indian Tribal Water Resources grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 11SF1S0039) is a Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region initiative focused on supporting Indian Tribes in strengthening and safeguarding their water-related assets. It sits within the Bureau of Reclamation's broader Native American Affairs (NAA) program, which works across roughly 50 tribes in the Pacific Northwest and emphasizes a government-to-government relationship. Through this opportunity, the Snake River Area Office, working in coordination with the Water Conservation Field Services Program, sought proposals for fiscal year 2011 activities (covering the period from October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011) that help develop, manage, or protect tribal water resources.
The funding is meant for practical, on-the-ground water and irrigation-related improvements that increase reliability, efficiency, and resource protection. The announcement highlights examples such as piping and/or lining canals and laterals to reduce seepage and losses, installing automation and water measurement devices to improve control and accountability of water deliveries, and other projects that improve the efficiency of irrigation water supply, conveyance, and distribution systems. While these examples are not exhaustive, they indicate a strong emphasis on water conservation, infrastructure modernization, and improved management practices tied to tribal water use.
This is a discretionary funding opportunity offered as either a grant or a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.519 (Indian Tribal Water Resources Development, Management, and Protection). The agency anticipated making about two awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000 and an award ceiling of $50,000. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants needed to contribute non-federal resources or otherwise meet a match requirement as part of the project budget structure.
Eligibility for applicants is limited to Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments, and proposed work must occur within the administrative boundaries of the Bureau of Reclamation's Snake River Area Office to qualify. The opportunity was posted on March 14, 2011, with an application closing date of April 15, 2011, and it was archived on April 16, 2011. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Lisa Strong, Grants and Agreements Specialist, at 208-383-2204 or lstrong@usbr.gov.
