Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Evaluation and Coordination of Pacific Lamprey Activities in the Yakima River Basin" (Funding Opportunity Number 11SS10006) is a Bureau of Reclamation notice announcing the agency's intent to fund a specific, pre-identified project through a cooperative agreement. It falls under the Environment and Natural Resources activity area and is tied to CFDA 15.517, the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act. Importantly, the announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a public notice that the Bureau of Reclamation plans to make an award without full and open competition.
The Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region, indicates it intends to enter into a cooperative agreement with the Confederated Tribes of the Yakama Nation, a federally recognized tribal government and the listed eligible applicant category. The planned work focuses on Pacific lamprey in the Yakima River Subbasin, with the Yakama Nation tasked with investigating how Reclamation operations and/or facilities may be affecting lamprey populations. The central purpose is to evaluate potential impacts associated with water management infrastructure and operations, then use the findings to identify, coordinate, and plan practical remedies that improve fish passage and reduce harm to lamprey throughout different life stages.
The scope of anticipated remedies is broad and includes several types of interventions. The notice references propagation efforts, which generally means activities that support lamprey production or supplementation where natural reproduction or survival may be limited. It also highlights juvenile migration and entrainment efforts, pointing to concerns that young lamprey may be drawn into irrigation diversions, canals, pumps, or other facilities where they can be injured, killed, or displaced from suitable habitat. In addition, the announcement includes adult fish passage projects, signaling a focus on improving upstream movement for spawning migrations by addressing barriers or problematic structures such as dams, fish ladders not designed for lamprey, screens, or passage routes that are effective for salmonids but not for lamprey due to their different swimming and climbing behaviors.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is structured as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial federal involvement during the project, such as coordination, shared planning, or ongoing technical engagement rather than a hands-off grant. The announcement anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $421,929, and the award ceiling is also listed as $421,929. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, meaning the recipient would not be required to provide non-federal match as a condition of the award.
The timing information reflects that this was a time-limited public notice: it was posted and created on September 1, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 15, 2011, and an archive date of September 16, 2011. Even though there is a closing date, the text makes clear the purpose is not to solicit competing proposals but to document the agency's intention to proceed with a noncompetitive agreement with the Yakama Nation for the described activities.
For access or administrative questions about the full announcement, the listed contact is Lisa Strong, Acting Grants Management Specialist at the Bureau of Reclamation, reachable by phone at 208-378-5138 or by email at lstrong@usbr.gov.
