Opportunity Summary:
The LCT Restoration Lake Tahoe Basin grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00167) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) focused on natural resource conservation work in the Lake Tahoe Basin. The core purpose is to continue collaborative restoration efforts for Lahontan cutthroat trout (LCT), a native trout of significant ecological and conservation importance in the region. The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in project coordination, technical input, or oversight rather than a more hands-off pass-through award. The project emphasis is clearly on continuing ongoing restoration projects rather than launching an entirely new program, suggesting applicants would be expected to align closely with established USFWS objectives, methods, and partnership plans already underway in the Tahoe Basin.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, meaning the intended applicants are typically state universities, university systems, or similar publicly governed academic institutions. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA listing tied to this announcement is 15.608 (Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance). The announcement indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would not be required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of award, which can reduce barriers to participation for eligible institutions.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on May 9, 2013, with an original and current closing date of May 19, 2013, indicating a short application window. The archive date is June 9, 2013, meaning the listing is historical and was removed from active competition after that point. The funding fields in the listing show an estimated total funding amount of 0 and both the award ceiling and award floor as 0; in many grant listings, that can signal that the precise dollar amounts were either to be determined, handled outside the public listing, or dependent on agency allocation and project scope negotiated under the cooperative agreement framework.
Applicants looking for the full announcement were directed to Grants.gov through the additional information link. For access issues or announcement-related questions, the listed point of contact was Misty Summers, Budget Technician/COR, with phone number 775-265-2425 and email MistySummers@fws.gov.
