Opportunity Summary:
The Fisheries Science Exchange grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00008) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement designed to strengthen fisheries work nationwide by supporting collaboration among fisheries scientists and practitioners. The core idea is to fund an organized exchange of technical information focused on fisheries and fisheries habitat, especially the practical methods used to restore and preserve critical habitat. By creating a structured way for professionals across the United States to share techniques, lessons learned, and applied science, the program aims to raise the overall skill level and consistency of fisheries habitat restoration work.
The expected outcome is a more capable and more efficient fisheries habitat restoration workforce. As participants broaden their understanding of effective restoration and preservation approaches, they are better positioned to plan, implement, and refine habitat projects that directly benefit fish populations. In practical terms, the exchange is intended to translate scientific knowledge into on-the-ground improvements in rivers, streams, riparian zones, wetlands, and other habitats that support fish life cycles. Over time, healthier habitat is expected to contribute to stronger and more resilient fish populations.
The opportunity also emphasizes public benefits tied to public lands. Improved fisheries habitat and increased fish populations can enhance recreation and visitor experiences, including fishing (harvest) and non-consumptive uses such as wildlife viewing. The announcement frames the program as a high-return public investment: the federal cost of supporting professional collaboration is described as relatively small compared to the long-term gains in habitat quality, fisheries resources, and public enjoyment of those resources.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category. BLM anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The award ceiling was $100,000 and the award floor was $10,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on December 21, 2010, with an application closing date of January 21, 2011, and it was archived on February 20, 2011. The CFDA program associated with the funding was 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management.
