Opportunity Summary:

The Monitoring and Evaluations grant opportunity is a discretionary, science-and-technology focused cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) through its Lower Snake River Compensation Plan Office (LSRCP). The purpose is to support coordinated monitoring and evaluation work in Oregon that helps the LSRCP meet its congressionally directed goals tied to fish mitigation and recovery efforts in the lower Snake River system. In practical terms, the opportunity is designed to formalize and fund collaboration between USFWS/LSRCP and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) by allowing an organized exchange of staff time, services, equipment, facilities, and funding so that Oregon-based LSRCP objectives can be carried out efficiently and consistently.

The core work funded under this opportunity centers on tracking and assessing salmon and steelhead outcomes linked to LSRCP efforts in Oregon. This includes monitoring salmon and steelhead production and distribution originating from LSRCP facilities located in Oregon, which generally means collecting data on hatchery or facility outputs, release strategies, and where released fish end up across the system. It also includes evaluating adult salmon and steelhead that return to Oregon in later years and were originally produced at LSRCP facilities, which typically involves return monitoring, identification of origin, run timing, survival indicators, and related performance measures that show whether past production and release actions are meeting intended results. A third major emphasis is monitoring wild or natural salmon and steelhead stocks and their habitats when those populations or habitat conditions affect, or could affect, achievement of LSRCP objectives. That aspect reflects that hatchery and mitigation programs do not operate in a vacuum; environmental conditions, habitat quality, and wild stock status can influence survival, distribution, and overall program success, so the grant supports evaluation work that connects these broader factors to program outcomes.

From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on August 31, 2011 and closed on September 14, 2011, with an archive date of October 14, 2011. It anticipated a single award with an exact, fixed funding amount: an estimated total funding of $794,840, which is also listed as both the award ceiling and award floor, indicating the agency intended one award at that amount rather than a range of possible awards. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The eligible applicant pool is limited to state governments, and the notice specifically states it is a notice of intent to award ODFW up to $794,840 under a sole-source style justification (cited as 505 DM 2.14 (B4)). The rationale provided is that ODFW is uniquely qualified because it manages the LSRCP facilities within Oregon, making it the appropriate entity to conduct the monitoring and evaluation work tied to those facilities and associated fish stocks.

The legal authorities referenced for this work include the Water Resources Development Act of 1976 (Public Law 94-587) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 U.S.C. 661-666). These authorities collectively direct and enable USFWS/LSRCP to work with state and federal agencies and tribes to develop and implement programs that evaluate survival and harvest of fish releases associated with the lower Snake River, which aligns directly with the monitoring and evaluation themes described in the opportunity. The funding opportunity number is FWS R1 LSRCP NOI 2OE, the CFDA number is 15.661 (Lower Snake River Compensation Plan), and the awarding agency is the Fish and Wildlife Service.
