Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Evaluation and Coordination of Pacific Lamprey Activities in the Umatilla River Subbasin" (Funding Opportunity Number R12SS10013) is a Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region funding notice that serves primarily as a public notification rather than an open call for proposals. The announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications. Instead, it signals Reclamation's intent to move forward with a single, non-competitive award through a Cooperative Agreement.
The underlying purpose of the project is tied to Reclamation's prior work assessing how its Columbia River Basin projects may affect Pacific lamprey (Lampetra tridentata). That assessment identified potential impact pathways and recommended follow-on actions. Building on that, Reclamation indicates it has been collaborating with multiple parties on lamprey-related studies and intends to continue using the specialized expertise and jurisdictional roles of those partners. In this specific case, Reclamation plans to partner with the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) to examine and address lamprey issues associated with Reclamation operations and facilities in the Umatilla River Subbasin.
The planned scope centers on evaluating potential effects of Reclamation infrastructure and operational practices on Pacific lamprey populations and then identifying, designing, and planning appropriate fish passage remedies where impacts are found or suspected. The notice points to several categories of potential remedies, including propagation efforts (supporting lamprey production or supplementation strategies), juvenile migration and entrainment efforts (addressing situations where juveniles may be drawn into water diversions or otherwise impeded), and adult fish passage projects (improving upstream passage for returning adults at barriers or challenging structures). Overall, the intent is both investigative and action-oriented: diagnose what is happening in relation to Reclamation facilities and then lay out practical measures to reduce harm and improve passage conditions.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is classified as a discretionary award using the Cooperative Agreement instrument under the Environment and Natural Resources activity category. It lists one expected award, with an estimated total funding amount and award ceiling of $357,556. No cost sharing or matching is required. Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments, consistent with the stated intention to work directly with CTUIR rather than running a full and open competition. The funding is associated with CFDA 15.517 under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act.
The posting date is August 17, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 31, 2012, and an archive date of September 1, 2012. Because this is a notice of intent rather than a competitive solicitation, those dates function more as a public posting window than a traditional application period. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed contact is Lisa Strong, Financial Assistance Officer, at 208-378-5138 or lstrong@usbr.gov.
