Opportunity Summary:
Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00157) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 1 Fisheries Program, offered through grants and cooperative agreements under CFDA 15.608. The program focuses on a balanced approach to aquatic resource stewardship, meaning it aims to conserve and manage self-sustaining fish populations and the habitats they depend on while also supporting quality recreational fishing opportunities. A key limitation is geographic: proposals are only considered if the work will take place within the state of Washington.
The types of projects this opportunity is looking to support are broad but clearly centered on fisheries conservation, restoration, and management. Eligible proposal topics include fish passage improvements (such as removing or modifying barriers that block migration), in-stream and riparian habitat work (restoring stream conditions and the adjacent riverbank vegetation that supports water quality and habitat complexity), and efforts addressing introduced species, including aquatic invasive species that can disrupt native ecosystems. It also allows projects that address genetic concerns such as introgression (where interbreeding affects the genetic integrity of native stocks), as well as hatchery and culture-related work tied to broodstock development, fish production, and reintroduction efforts. In practical terms, this means both habitat-based projects and fish management or propagation projects can be competitive, as long as they align with the program goals and occur in Washington.
Funding is relatively small-dollar and designed to support multiple awards. The estimated total funding available is $300,000 with an expected 10 awards. While the notice lists no formal award floor or ceiling, it signals that requests between $1,000 and $50,000 are the most attractive, implying applicants should generally size projects to fit that range unless they have a compelling reason to request more. There is no required match, but a 50% cost share is strongly encouraged, which suggests proposals leveraging partner contributions, in-kind services, or other funding sources may be viewed more favorably even though matching is not mandatory.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations that commonly carry out natural resource work. Eligible applicants include federally recognized Tribal governments and other Tribal organizations, state and local governments (including counties, cities/townships, special districts), public and private institutions of higher education, independent school districts, nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. This wide eligibility indicates the program is intended to support partnerships across agencies, Tribes, academic entities, and community or conservation organizations engaged in fisheries and aquatic habitat work.
Timing details in the announcement indicate it was posted April 24, 2013, with a closing date of May 24, 2013, and an archive date of June 24, 2013, reflecting a defined application window for that cycle. For official posting details and application materials, the notice points applicants to Grants.gov.
