Opportunity Summary:
The Lamprey Holding Facility Improvements and Data Base Creation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00418) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. It was posted on September 10, 2012, with an application closing date of September 14, 2012. The program anticipated making one award with an estimated total funding amount of up to $50,000, which is also the award ceiling. No cost sharing or matching funds were required. Eligibility was limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments.
The main purpose of the funding is to support work that strengthens Pacific Lamprey conservation and restoration in the Snake River basin, with direct benefits to the Nez Perce Tribe. A core component is improving a lamprey holding facility identified through an existing cooperative agreement. These facility improvements are intended to keep adult Pacific Lamprey healthier prior to translocation, which in turn is expected to increase their spawning success after they are moved. In practical terms, the grant is aimed at increasing survival and reproductive outcomes by ensuring that lamprey are maintained in better condition during the period when they are captured, held, and prepared for relocation.
A second major deliverable is the creation of a lamprey database focused on migration timing, abundance, and distribution. The goal is to organize and make accessible key monitoring information so fish managers have a stronger scientific and management foundation for decisions about restoration actions. By compiling when lamprey move, how many are present, and where they occur within the basin, the database is meant to provide the kind of baseline and trend information that is often needed to prioritize projects, evaluate whether recovery actions are working, and coordinate management across agencies and jurisdictions.
Overall, the opportunity is framed as supporting the broader Pacific Lamprey Conservation Initiative, which emphasizes long-term persistence of Pacific Lamprey across their historic range while also supporting traditional tribal cultural use. In this case, the cooperative agreement is positioned as a targeted contribution to that long-term initiative specifically within the Snake River basin, combining on-the-ground infrastructure improvements with better data management to strengthen restoration planning and outcomes.
For additional details, the announcement directed applicants to Grants.gov, and listed Robert Haverkate (360-604-2519, BobHaverkate@fws.gov) as the contact for help accessing the full notice.
