Opportunity Summary:
The Monitoring and Evaluations grant opportunity is a Fish and Wildlife Service cooperative agreement designed to support work under the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan (LSRCP) across Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Its central purpose is to formalize and strengthen coordination between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service LSRCP Office and the Nez Perce Tribe (NPT) so they can jointly carry out the LSRCP mission. In practice, the award is meant to enable an organized exchange of services, staff support, equipment, facilities access, and funding so that monitoring, evaluation, operations and maintenance, and harvest monitoring activities can be implemented consistently across the program area.
The project focus is heavily oriented toward science-based tracking of hatchery production and outcomes, along with the broader ecological conditions that influence whether compensation goals are being met. The work includes monitoring fish production at LSRCP facilities and how fish are distributed from those facilities in the three-state region. It also includes evaluating adult returns to Idaho, Oregon, and Washington of fish that were produced at LSRCP facilities in previous years, which is essential for understanding survival, contribution to fisheries, and the effectiveness of past production strategies. Beyond hatchery-origin fish, the opportunity explicitly calls for attention to wild or natural fish stocks and their habitats, particularly where those natural populations and environmental conditions affect the ability of the LSRCP program to meet its objectives.
In addition to monitoring and evaluation, the opportunity includes operational support components. The recipient is expected to assist with the operations of LSRCP facilities in northeast Oregon, tying field and facility work directly to program delivery. It also specifies coordination and participation in the fish culture of Imnaha spring Chinook, indicating that the work is not limited to data collection and reporting but also involves hands-on collaboration in propagation and culture activities that support LSRCP goals.
Administratively, this was posted as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument, reflecting that substantial involvement by the federal agency is anticipated during project performance (for example, coordination, shared planning, or joint implementation). The funding activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development. The opportunity anticipated a single award with total estimated funding of $734,687, and both the award floor and ceiling were set at $734,687, indicating a fixed expected award amount rather than a range. No cost share or match was required.
Eligibility was narrowly framed. The notice states it is a notice of intent to award the Nez Perce Tribe up to $734,687 under a justification referenced as 505 DM 2.14(B4), meaning it was not broadly competed in the usual sense. While the eligible applicant category includes federally recognized tribal governments (and “others†per additional eligibility language), the announcement makes clear that NPT was identified as uniquely qualified because of its ongoing work within LSRCP facilities across Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, and because the underlying program is authorized to be implemented in coordination with tribes and other agencies.
The legal and programmatic basis cited includes 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 the Fish and Wildlife Service LSRCP Office to work with state and federal partners and tribes to develop and carry out a program evaluating survival and harvest associated with fish releases on the lower Snake River. In that context, this award functions as a mechanism to ensure monitoring, evaluation, harvest tracking, and facility-linked operational support can be delivered by a partner with established regional presence and technical capacity.
Key dates in the listing show it 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. The CFDA program number associated with the funding is 15.661 (Lower Snake River Compensation Plan). The listed agency contact for access issues was Margaret Anderson, Cooperative Agreements Specialist, at 208-378-5299.
