Opportunity Summary:
The ODFW Operations and Maintenance grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00017) is a discretionary funding program administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS). It is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources and Science and Technology/Research and Development activity categories and is associated with CFDA numbers 15.661.
The core purpose of the grant is to develop and implement an operations and maintenance program that rears adequate numbers of Chinook salmon and steelhead smolts. The intent is that these juvenile fish, once released and after completing their life cycle, will return as adults to the Snake River basin in numbers sufficient to help compensate for fish losses. In practical terms, the project emphasis is on supporting hatchery or fish-rearing capacity and the ongoing operational work needed to consistently produce smolts at a scale that can contribute meaningfully to recovery or mitigation objectives in the basin.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, and the posting indicates an expectation of a single award. The maximum funding amount (award ceiling) listed is $3,452,609, reflecting a relatively large, targeted investment aimed at a specific implementing entity rather than a broad competition among many recipients. The opportunity was created and posted on October 27, 2015, with an application closing date of November 3, 2015, indicating a short window between announcement and deadline.
Overall, this funding opportunity is best understood as support for a focused, state-led fish production and maintenance effort tied to Snake River basin mitigation goals, where success would be measured by reliable smolt production and, ultimately, improved adult returns of Chinook and steelhead to offset documented losses.
