Opportunity Summary:
The Luckiamute River Watershed Rapid Bio Assessment grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00141) is a small, targeted federal funding announcement from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) focused on collecting field-based biological information about anadromous fish in the Luckiamute River watershed. The core purpose is to run Rapid Bio Assessments (RBAs) that document where anadromous species are present and how abundant they are across the watershed. The surveys are designed specifically to measure the abundance and distribution of multiple species of juvenile salmonids during the summer, using a watershed-wide approach rather than limiting work to a single property or jurisdiction. A key feature is that the work is intended to cover the watershed across all land ownerships, which helps produce a more complete picture of fish populations and habitat conditions than surveys confined to one management unit.
The practical value of the project is tied to how the results can be used by land managers and restoration practitioners. By generating consistent information on juvenile salmonid distribution and relative abundance, the assessment results can support the development, ranking, and prioritization of restoration projects throughout the watershed, regardless of whether those projects occur on private lands, state lands, or federal lands. The data are also meant to help BLM with Endangered Species Act-related consultation needs for BLM projects by providing current biological information relevant to listed or sensitive fish species. In addition, the surveys are positioned as an effectiveness-monitoring tool, meaning they can help evaluate whether actions taken by public agencies or private landowners are improving conditions for fish over time.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement under the natural resources activity category. BLM anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $5,540. The award ceiling is listed as $5,540 and the award floor as $1, indicating a single small grant or agreement intended to support a defined set of survey tasks rather than a large multi-year research program. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for participation and can be especially helpful for smaller organizations or entities that do not have flexible matching funds.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is generally open to any type of applicant (subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may appear in the full announcement on Grants.gov). The original posting date was June 18, 2010, with a closing date of July 18, 2010, and the opportunity was later archived on June 18, 2011. The CFDA program associated with the funding is 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, which aligns with the project focus on fish population monitoring and conservation-oriented management.
Applicants or interested parties who needed help accessing the announcement were directed to contact Teresa Spickerman, Grants Management Officer, at 503-808-6243 or teresaespickerman@blm.gov, and the full announcement was accessible through Grants.gov. Overall, this funding opportunity is best understood as a focused request to carry out summer juvenile salmonid surveys in the Luckiamute watershed, producing actionable data that can guide restoration priorities, strengthen compliance and consultation processes, and serve as a monitoring baseline for ongoing watershed management activities.

What agency is offering this funding?
The opportunity is offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
What is the main purpose of the project?
The core purpose is to run watershed-wide Rapid Bio Assessments that measure the abundance and distribution of multiple anadromous fish species, with a specific emphasis on juvenile salmonids during the summer.
What types of fish are the surveys focused on?
The surveys are designed to measure the distribution and relative abundance of multiple species of juvenile salmonids during the summer, and the broader purpose is to collect biological information about anadromous fish in the Luckiamute River watershed.
What time of year are the surveys intended to occur?
The announcement specifies surveys of juvenile salmonids during the summer.
Is the work limited to BLM land or a single property?
No. A key feature is that the assessment is intended to cover the watershed across all land ownerships. The intent is a watershed-wide approach rather than limiting surveys to a single property, jurisdiction, or management unit.
Why does the opportunity emphasize surveying across all land ownerships?
