Opportunity Summary:
The DRI Walker Lake grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: FWS R8 LNFHC FY11 009) is a discretionary funding notice from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) focused on environmental and natural resource work. It was issued as a Notice of Intent to award, meaning the agency was signaling its intention to make an award rather than running a wide-open competition. The project centers on coordinating work between the Lahontan National Fish Hatchery Complex (LNFHC) and the Desert Research Institute (DRI) to carry out baseline biogeochemistry studies at Walker Lake in Nevada. In practical terms, the purpose is to establish foundational scientific information about the lake's biogeochemical conditions, which can support future management, restoration planning, and fisheries or habitat-related decision-making tied to the broader Walker Lake ecosystem.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. In this case, that lines up with the stated intent: joint coordination between LNFHC and DRI to complete the baseline studies. The opportunity is categorized under the Environment and Natural Resources activity area and is associated with CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance, reflecting its alignment with fish and wildlife conservation and management support activities.
Financially, the announcement indicates a single expected award, with both the award ceiling and floor set at $89,753. Setting the ceiling and floor to the same amount typically signals that the agency has a fixed budget for the effort and anticipates awarding that specific amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed, so the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which is consistent with DRI's status and the Notice of Intent format. The posting date and creation date are both August 1, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 14, 2011, and an archive date of September 13, 2011. Those dates indicate a short window, which is also consistent with a notice intended to formalize a planned award rather than solicit numerous applicants.
For applicants or stakeholders needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Mistylynn Summers at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at 775-265-2425 or by email at mistysummers@fws.gov.
