Opportunity Summary:
The "Multivariate San Joaquin River Chinook Survival Investigation" is a federal discretionary funding opportunity from the Bureau of Reclamation (Mid-Pacific Region) to support a research study focused on improving protection of migrating Chinook salmon in Californias San Joaquin River and the Bay-Delta system. The funding is being issued under CFDA 15.512 (Central Valley Project Improvement Act, Title XXXIV), authorized by Public Law 102-575, specifically sections 3406(b)(1) and 3407(e). The work is meant to produce practical results and interpretations that can be used to shape real-world water operations and fish management decisions in a highly managed river and delta environment.
The planned award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply providing funds with minimal interaction. The Bureau of Reclamation stated its intent to issue this cooperative agreement to the University of Washington. Importantly, this announcement is a Notice of Intent to Award, not a competitive solicitation. In other words, it is not asking the public to submit proposals, and the governments decision not to compete the award is explicitly described as being within agency discretion under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2)(4).
The core purpose of the project is to use existing data to better understand juvenile San Joaquin River Chinook salmon survival and movement patterns, with the goal of informing management actions that reduce risk to fish during migration. The specific objective is to analyze existing datasets to determine which migration routes juvenile Chinook use, and which routes are most favorable, as conditions change. This includes evaluating different hydrologic scenarios and water project operational conditions, particularly as fish move through the South Delta, where flow paths, diversions, pumping operations, and other management actions can strongly influence fish routing and survival outcomes.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $149,932, with Reclamation providing the full $149,932 in Fiscal Year 2013. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated. The opportunity anticipated a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1). Although the eligible applicant category is broadly listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, the notice makes clear that the intended recipient is the University of Washington.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number R13AS20035, a posted and created date of August 26, 2013, and a closing date of September 9, 2013 (with an archive date of September 10, 2013). The program area is categorized under Environment. For questions or access issues, the listed point of contact is Megan Bryant, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by email at mbryant@usbr.gov or by phone at 916-978-4627.
