Opportunity Summary:
The Klamath River Fish Health Studies opportunity is a federal financial assistance action from the Bureau of Reclamation, Mid Pacific Region, focused on natural resource research and monitoring in the Klamath River system. The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the government expects to have substantial involvement in the work alongside the recipient rather than simply providing funds with minimal agency participation. The program is tied to CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.517, Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, and will be issued under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework (CESU number R11AC10001), which is often used to partner with universities and research institutions for ecosystem-related studies.
The core purpose of the project is to monitor parasite abundance in fish and evaluate the disease risks associated with those parasites. In practical terms, this type of work typically involves field sampling, laboratory diagnostics, tracking trends over time, and linking parasite and disease indicators to environmental or management conditions. The overall aim is to strengthen understanding of fish health threats in the Klamath River and support resource management decisions that depend on reliable fish health and disease-risk information.
This announcement is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award, not a competitive solicitation. It states that Reclamation intends to make the cooperative agreement to Oregon State University, and it emphasizes that the government has the discretion to make a determination not to compete the assistance action under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4). Because of that, the posting is not asking other organizations to submit proposals, even though the standard federal grants listing includes broad categories of potentially eligible applicants (such as state and local governments, tribes, nonprofits, universities, small businesses, and individuals). The eligibility note clarifies the real intent: this requirement is posted specifically as a Notice of Intent to Award to Oregon State University.
In terms of funding scale and timing, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $2,125,000, with an award ceiling of $425,000 and no specified award floor. The number of expected awards is one. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means the recipient is not required to contribute a non-federal share as a condition of the award. Key dates show it was posted on February 28, 2012, with an original and current closing date of March 13, 2012, and an archive date of March 14, 2012.
Administrative requirements noted in the announcement include Central Contractor Registration (CCR), which was the predecessor to todays SAM.gov registration system used for federal awards. The announcement provides a CCR website reference (http://www.ccr.gov) as the place to obtain registration information. For questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the contact listed is Judy A. Hudson, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by email at jhudson@usbr.gov.
