Opportunity Summary:
The ODFW Operations Maintenance grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00006) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.661, the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan. The central purpose of the award is to support Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife operations and maintenance activities tied to hatchery production and related program work that increase the number of Chinook salmon and steelhead smolts reared for release, with the long-term goal of producing enough returning adult fish to the Snake River Basin to help offset fish losses affecting Oregon. In practical terms, the funding is aimed at sustaining the infrastructure and ongoing work needed to consistently produce and manage fish at the smolt stage so that, after migration and ocean residency, a compensatory number of adults return to the basin.
This opportunity falls under the Natural Resources, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development activity category, but the emphasis of the description is clearly on implementation and sustained program delivery rather than on a purely research-driven project. The funded effort is about maintaining a reliable, large-scale rearing program that can contribute measurable mitigation or compensation benefits. The stated outcome focus is adult returns to the Snake River Basin, which implies that the program is expected to be managed with attention to production targets, release strategies, and operational practices that support survival from smolt to adult, consistent with the broader compensation objectives of the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan.
Funding for the opportunity is fixed and highly specific. The estimated total funding is $3,152,874, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $3,152,874, indicating the agency anticipated making a single award at that exact amount. The number of expected awards is one. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the applicant is not required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, which aligns with the title and the program context, as this particular award is intended for a state fish and wildlife agency performing operations and maintenance responsibilities under the compensation plan. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the opportunity category is discretionary, meaning it is awarded through an agency-driven competitive or selection process rather than an entitlement or formula allocation.
The notice was posted and created on October 22, 2013. The original and current closing date was November 5, 2013, and the opportunity was archived on November 22, 2013. Additional details were made available through Grants.gov, and the listed contact for assistance accessing the full announcement was Margaret Anderson (208-378-5299, MargaretMAnderson@fws.gov).
