Opportunity Summary:
The Monitoring and Evaluations grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number LSRCP NOI 10 J008) 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 Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) so the LSRCP can meet its objectives within Idaho. Practically, this award is meant to formalize and fund an exchange of services, staff time, equipment, facilities, and money so the partners can carry out monitoring and evaluation activities tied to fish production and recovery efforts associated with the lower Snake River mitigation program.
The scope of work centers on three connected monitoring and evaluation areas. First, it covers tracking fish production at LSRCP facilities in Idaho and the distribution of those fish once they are released or transferred, which typically includes documenting hatchery outputs, release numbers, timing, locations, and related operational performance measures. Second, it includes monitoring adult fish that return to Idaho in later years and were produced at LSRCP facilities in prior production cycles, which is the backbone of evaluating whether hatchery production and release strategies are actually translating into adult returns, survival, and potential fishery benefits. Third, it extends beyond hatchery-origin fish to include wild or natural fish stocks and the habitats that influence them, recognizing that natural production, habitat conditions, and interactions between hatchery and wild fish can directly affect whether the overall LSRCP mitigation and recovery objectives are achieved.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on September 18, 2009, with an original and final closing date of October 2, 2009, and an archive date of November 1, 2009. The program anticipated a single award, with total estimated funding of $1,068,054. The award ceiling and floor were both set at $1,068,054, indicating the agency planned a single, fixed-size award rather than a range of possible award amounts. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient was not expected to provide non-federal match as a condition of the award.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, and the notice specifically stated an intent to award IDFG up to the full amount under a justification cited as 505 DM 2.14 (B4). The rationale given is that IDFG is uniquely qualified because it manages the LSRCP facilities within Idaho, making it the logical entity to carry out or coordinate the monitoring and evaluation work tied to those facilities and associated fish stocks. The statutory authority for the effort 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 authorize and direct USFWS and the LSRCP to work with state and federal agencies and tribes to develop and implement programs evaluating survival and harvest associated with fish releases on the lower Snake River.
In short, this funding opportunity is designed to keep the LSRCP accountable and effective by paying for the data collection, coordination, and evaluation needed to understand how well LSRCP hatchery production performs, how many hatchery-origin adults return in subsequent years, and how wild stocks and habitat conditions may help or hinder meeting the program's mitigation goals in Idaho. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Margaret Anderson, Cooperative Agreements Specialist, at 208-378-5299.

What kinds of activities are included in the scope of work?
The scope centers on three connected monitoring and evaluation areas: (1) tracking fish production at LSRCP facilities in Idaho and documenting distribution after release or transfer, (2) monitoring adult fish returning to Idaho in later years that were produced at LSRCP facilities in prior cycles, and (3) monitoring wild or natural fish stocks and the habitats that influence them, including recognizing interactions between hatchery and wild fish.
