Opportunity Summary:
The Lahontan Cutthroat Trout - Pyramid Lake grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWS R8 LNFHC FY11 004) was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. It was offered as financial assistance through a Cooperative Agreement, with the listing also indicating that grants or other assistance instruments could apply. The project sat within the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework, meaning it was intended to support a formal partnership that combines research, technical expertise, and educational capacity to address natural resource management needs.
At its core, the opportunity was designed to fund a coordinated effort between the Lahontan National Fish Hatchery Complex (LNFHC) and Utah State University (USU). The purpose of that collaboration was to evaluate the performance of Lahontan cutthroat trout at Pyramid Lake in Nevada and to identify the limiting factors affecting the native fish community there. In practical terms, the work implied a blend of applied fisheries science and management-oriented investigation, focused on understanding how the species is doing in that specific ecosystem and what biological or environmental constraints may be influencing survival, growth, reproduction, or broader community dynamics.
The announcement anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with a maximum federal funding level (award ceiling) of $344,469 and a minimum (award floor) of $1. The program did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which typically lowers the barrier to participation for eligible applicants. Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the CESU model that frequently relies on universities to provide research capacity while working directly with federal resource managers.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on March 18, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 1, 2011, and an archive date of May 1, 2011.
