Opportunity Summary:

This grant opportunity, titled "Monitoring and Evaluations" (Funding Opportunity Number: FWS R1 LSRCP NOI 2NP), is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan (LSRCP). The core purpose is to support coordinated work between the USFWS LSRCP Office and the Nez Perce Tribe to carry out LSRCP goals across Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. In practical terms, it is designed to formalize and fund a working partnership where staff, services, equipment, facilities, and funds can be shared or exchanged as needed to meet LSRCP responsibilities tied to hatchery mitigation, fish survival evaluation, and harvest-related outcomes.

The work supported by this award centers on monitoring, evaluation, operation and maintenance support, and harvest monitoring connected to fish produced through LSRCP facilities. A major focus is tracking fish production and how fish are distributed from LSRCP hatcheries and associated facilities in the three-state region. Another key component is monitoring adult fish returns to Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, specifically adults that originated from LSRCP production in prior years. This type of adult return monitoring helps determine whether hatchery programs are meeting mitigation and recovery-related targets, and it supplies data that can inform future release strategies, facility operations, and broader management decisions.

The opportunity also emphasizes assessment of wild or natural fish stocks and their habitats, particularly where those natural populations can influence, or be influenced by, the ability of the LSRCP program to meet its objectives. That includes monitoring interactions and conditions that affect survival, productivity, and overall program performance. In addition, the Nez Perce Tribe is expected to assist with operations at LSRCP facilities in northeast Oregon, helping with on-the-ground operational needs that support production and monitoring objectives. The scope further includes coordinating and participating in fish culture activities for Imnaha River spring Chinook, reflecting a hands-on role in propagation and culture tasks alongside evaluation efforts.

Funding for the project is listed at a total of $783,438, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $783,438, indicating a single anticipated award at that amount. No cost sharing or matching is required. The posting date was August 31, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 14, 2011, and an archive date of October 14, 2011. The program is associated with CFDA 15.661 (Lower Snake River Compensation Plan) and falls under the activity category of Science and Technology and other Research and Development, which aligns with the monitoring and evaluation emphasis.

Eligibility is limited in a targeted way. While the general eligible applicant category is federally recognized Native American tribal governments, this notice functions as a notice of intent to award specifically to the Nez Perce Tribe for up to the full amount. The justification cited (505 DM 2.14 (B4)) signals a non-competitive or uniquely qualified recipient rationale. The notice explains that the Water Resources Development Act of 1976 (Public Law 94-587) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 U.S.C. 661-666) authorize and direct the USFWS LSRCP Office to collaborate with state and federal agencies and tribes to develop and implement evaluation programs for survival and harvest of fish releases on the Lower Snake River. The Nez Perce Tribe is identified as uniquely qualified because of its established role and operational presence working within LSRCP facilities across Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, positioning the Tribe to carry out monitoring, evaluation, and operational support activities effectively within the geographic and programmatic footprint of the LSRCP.
