Opportunity Summary:
The Middle Kuskokwim River Predatory Fish Telemetry Project, Alaska (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00066) was a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant opportunity focused on natural resource management and fisheries conservation. The central purpose of the project was to use telemetry to track the seasonal movements of predatory fish, specifically northern pike and burbot, over a period of a little more than two years. By monitoring where these fish travel and concentrate across seasons, the project aimed to give managers a clearer picture of seasonal distribution patterns, which can directly support better-informed decisions about fishery stewardship, habitat management, and broader ecosystem planning in the Middle Kuskokwim River area.
The opportunity was structured as a single-award grant, with an expected one award and a fixed funding level. The estimated total funding amount was $418,805, and both the award ceiling and award floor were set at $418,805, indicating the agency anticipated funding one project at that specific amount rather than a range of smaller awards. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
In terms of eligibility, the listing stated the competition was unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been included in the full announcement. The program was associated with CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, aligning it with federal efforts to conserve and manage wildlife and aquatic resources through research, monitoring, and applied management work.
Key dates show the grant was posted and created on April 13, 2011, with an original and final application deadline of May 4, 2011. The opportunity was later archived on June 30, 2011, indicating it is no longer open for applications.
