Opportunity Summary:
The KLAMATH BASIN RESTORATION PLANNING, IMPLEMENTATION AND MONITORING PROGRM (Funding Opportunity Number: 2013 KBRA 01) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) initiative set up as a cooperative agreement to establish what is called the Klamath Basin Restoration Planning, Implementation, and Monitoring Program (the "Klamath Basin Program"). The central idea is to formalize and strengthen a partnership between FWS and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) so they can jointly develop, fund, and carry out restoration efforts across the Klamath Basin. The program is focused on practical, on-the-ground actions as well as the planning and monitoring needed to make those actions measurable and effective over time.
The program is built around restoring both aquatic and terrestrial habitat and improving in-stream water flows in the Klamath Basin, with the intent of benefiting fish and wildlife while also supporting the health and well-being of local communities. In plain terms, it is trying to address the ecological conditions that species depend on (habitat quality and connectivity, water quantity and timing, and overall watershed function) while recognizing that restoration outcomes also matter for people who live and work in the Basin. The opportunity specifically highlights threatened, endangered, and candidate species as a key mission driver for FWS, meaning the program is designed to help align restoration investments with federal conservation responsibilities in this region.
A major function of the Klamath Basin Program is to move resources out to organizations that can implement work locally. Funding is intended to be used by NFWF to provide grants to Native American Tribes and other non-federal entities, including watershed councils, community-based organizations, and state and local agencies. This structure reflects a common federal approach where a national partner organization (here, NFWF) helps administer and coordinate grantmaking, enabling a broader set of local projects to be supported while maintaining consistency with basin-wide priorities and conservation outcomes.
The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources and is tied to CFDA number 15.663 (National Fish and Wildlife Foundation). It carries an award amount of $400,000 (both the award ceiling and award floor are listed as $400,000), with an expectation of one award. Importantly, there is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies closer coordination and involvement between the awarding agency and the recipient than in a standard grant, often because the work requires ongoing collaboration, shared planning, or joint oversight.
In terms of status, this posting is explicitly a notice of intent rather than an open competition. The listing states that the opportunity has already been awarded to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and both the original and current closing date fields reiterate that it is not open for applications. In other words, organizations interested in doing work in the Klamath Basin would not apply directly to this federal notice; instead, the practical pathway would generally be through NFWF-managed grant opportunities or project solicitations that flow from this umbrella program.
Strategically, the notice makes clear that accomplishments funded through the Klamath Basin Program are intended to support NFWF goals related to sustaining healthy aquatic species populations and to advance the outcomes described in NFWF Upper and Lower Klamath Business Plans. At the same time, it is described as a mechanism for FWS to better prioritize, coordinate, and pool its resources to advance its conservation mission in the Basin. That combination signals that the program is designed not just to fund isolated projects, but to support a more coordinated restoration portfolio where planning, implementation, and monitoring are linked and where multiple funders and implementers can row in the same direction.
The posting was originally dated July 15, 2013 (posted) with a creation date of July 24, 2013. For access issues related to the full announcement, the contact listed is Misty Bradford, Cooperative Agreements Assistant, at 530-842-5763 (work).
