Opportunity Summary:
The Monitoring and Evaluations opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number LSRCP NOI 11 J008) is a discretionary federal funding action from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) under the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan (LSRCP). It is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which signals that FWS expects to remain actively involved in the work, coordinating closely with the recipient on planning, implementation, and reporting. The central purpose is to support coordinated monitoring and evaluation work in Idaho that helps the LSRCP meet its broader mitigation goals for fish impacted by federal water resource development in the Snake River system.
At its core, the opportunity is meant to formalize and fund cooperation between three parties: the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (specifically the LSRCP Office), and the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG). The emphasis is on enabling an interchange of services, personnel, equipment, facilities, and funds so the partners can carry out LSRCP responsibilities effectively inside Idaho. In practical terms, this kind of arrangement typically means the state agency performs much of the day-to-day field and facility work (because it operates and manages the relevant hatchery and fish management infrastructure), while FWS provides federal oversight, technical coordination, and program accountability consistent with LSRCP authorizing statutes.
The monitoring and evaluation work described in the announcement focuses on three main technical areas. First, it supports tracking fish production at LSRCP facilities in Idaho and documenting how fish are distributed or released from those facilities. This includes the types of metrics that determine whether mitigation production targets are being met, whether fish are being produced as planned, and how releases are timed and located. Second, it supports monitoring adult fish returning to Idaho that were produced at LSRCP facilities in prior years. That generally involves assessing adult returns, survival, and potentially harvest contribution or broodstock availability, depending on the species and management objectives. Third, it includes monitoring and evaluation of wild or natural fish stocks and their habitats that affect the ability of the LSRCP to achieve its objectives. This is important because hatchery mitigation goals and outcomes are tightly linked to natural stock status, environmental conditions, habitat constraints, and ecological interactions; understanding those factors is necessary to interpret program performance and adjust management actions.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $871,978, with an award ceiling and floor both set at $871,978, indicating the agency anticipated a single award at that exact level. The announcement states an expected number of awards of one. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the federal funds were intended to cover the full approved budget for the cooperative agreement activities. The activity category is labeled as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, reflecting that the funded work is data-driven and evaluation-focused rather than purely operational facility support.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, and the notice is explicitly a notice of intent to award to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. The justification provided is that IDFG is uniquely qualified because it manages the LSRCP facilities in Idaho, making it the logical and practical partner for implementing monitoring and evaluation tasks tied to those facilities and associated fish populations. The announcement references federal legal authorities that underpin the LSRCP and this cooperative work, including 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 direct FWS and LSRCP to work with state and federal agencies and tribes to develop and implement evaluation programs related to survival and harvest of fish releases associated with the Lower Snake River.
Timing details show the opportunity was posted on September 15, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 29, 2010, and an archive date of October 29, 2010. That short window is consistent with a notice of intent where the agency has already identified the recipient and is documenting the action and its basis rather than running a broad open competition. For access or administrative issues, the listed contact is Margaret Anderson, Cooperative Agreements Specialist, at 208-378-5299.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as targeted federal support for Idaho-specific LSRCP monitoring and evaluation work, aimed at measuring hatchery production and release performance, tracking adult return outcomes from prior hatchery cohorts, and evaluating how wild stocks and habitat conditions influence whether the LSRCP program is meeting its mitigation objectives in the state.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - Monitoring and Evaluations (LSRCP NOI 11 J008)
