Opportunity Summary:
The Pacific Lamprey in the Lower Columbia River grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 14330 BG515) is a continuation cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category (CFDA 15.650, Research Grants - Generic). The main purpose is to help USFWS evaluate non-invasive approaches for counting adult Pacific lamprey (Entosphenus tridentatus) and for studying how these fish behave as they pass through dam structures in the lower Columbia River. The work is focused on improving how adult lamprey migrants are observed and enumerated at and near existing count stations, with specific attention to The Dalles Dam and John Day Dam on the Columbia River in the United States.
The technical emphasis of the project is an applied comparison of monitoring tools. In practical terms, applicants are expected to assess how well underwater video systems perform for detecting and documenting adult lamprey passage and behavior in the challenging conditions typically found at dam fishways and count stations. Alongside the video component, the opportunity calls for an evaluation of automated enumeration software, meaning software that can assist or replace manual review by detecting lamprey and counting them from video footage. The intent is to determine the relative efficacy of these methods, which generally implies measuring accuracy and reliability of counts, the ability to capture relevant behaviors during passage, and the feasibility of routine use in an operational monitoring setting. Because the methods are described as non-invasive, the work is oriented toward observation-based monitoring rather than physical handling, tagging, or other intrusive sampling approaches.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $111,295, with an award ceiling of $111,295, and it anticipates making one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of receiving the award. As a continuation opportunity, it is positioned as support for ongoing or previously initiated work rather than a brand-new program start, and it is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that USFWS expects to have substantial involvement during the project (for example, coordination on study design details, access to monitoring sites, data standards, or review of progress and findings).
Eligible applicants include Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and private institutions of higher education. The announcement was posted on April 19, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 30, 2011, and it was archived on May 30, 2011. The listed USFWS contact for access issues or questions is Christopher A. Peery, Project Manager, reachable by phone at (208) 476-2257 (an email field is referenced but not provided in the text shown).
