Opportunity Summary:
The Monitoring and Evaluations grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: FWS R1 LSRCP NOI 2WE) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan (LSRCP). Its core purpose is to support close coordination between the USFWS LSRCP Office and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) so the LSRCP goals can be carried out effectively within Washington. The emphasis is on sharing and coordinating services, staff, equipment, facilities, and funding so that monitoring and evaluation work can be done consistently across LSRCP-related hatchery and fishery actions in the state.
The work supported by this award centers on three connected monitoring and evaluation priorities. First, it focuses on tracking salmon, steelhead, and resident trout production and distribution from LSRCP facilities in Washington, meaning the program is concerned not just with how many fish are produced, but also where and how those fish are released or distributed and how that aligns with mitigation and recovery objectives. Second, it includes evaluating adult salmon and steelhead returning to Washington that were produced at LSRCP facilities in past years. This speaks to long-term performance and outcomes, such as return rates and the effectiveness of earlier production strategies, and it is designed to generate information that can guide future management decisions. Third, it supports monitoring of wild or naturally produced salmon and steelhead stocks and the habitats they rely on, specifically where those natural populations and habitat conditions may influence, or be influenced by, achieving LSRCP objectives. In practice, this creates a bridge between hatchery mitigation activities and broader basin and habitat realities, recognizing that program success depends on both produced fish and natural stock and habitat conditions.
Funding for this opportunity was set at a total of $834,667, and both the award ceiling and floor were the same amount, signaling the intent to make a single, specific award rather than a range of possible award sizes. The opportunity anticipated one award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding activity category was listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, reflecting the monitoring, assessment, and evaluation character of the work rather than infrastructure construction or direct service delivery alone.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, and the notice explicitly stated that this was a notice of intent to award WDFW up to $834,667. The justification cited 505 DM 2.14 (B4), and the eligibility rationale is tied to WDFW's role as the entity that manages LSRCP facilities in Washington, making it uniquely positioned to carry out the required monitoring and evaluation activities. The legal and programmatic authority for this work is grounded in the Water Resources Development Act of 1976 (Public Law 94-587) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 U.S.C. 661-666), which direct USFWS LSRCP to work with state and federal agencies and tribes to develop and implement evaluation efforts related to survival and harvest outcomes of fish releases in the lower Snake River context.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on August 31, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 14, 2011, and an archive date of October 14, 2011. The CFDA program number associated with the opportunity is 15.661 (Lower Snake River Compensation Plan).
