Opportunity Summary:
The Pacific Lamprey Summit III Facilitation grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00166) was a small, targeted U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) cooperative agreement designed to support the planning and facilitation of a third regional summit focused on Pacific lamprey conservation. The basic intent was to maintain momentum from earlier lamprey summits and convert prior planning and discussion into clearer partner commitments and on-the-ground restoration progress. The funding was set at a fixed amount of $15,000 (award floor and ceiling both $15,000), with a single award expected, and no cost-share or matching requirement.
The summit itself was framed as a coordination and commitment-building event tied closely to the FWS Pacific Lamprey Conservation Initiative and to tribal leadership and priorities. A core objective was strengthening a joint commitment to lamprey restoration alongside the Columbia River Treaty Tribes and additional tribes from coastal Oregon, Washington, and California. The opportunity emphasized that earlier summits elevated the cultural and ecological importance of Pacific lamprey to tribes and included calls for implementation; Summit III was intended to keep that progress moving and address a central tribal concern that restoration actions not stall in planning stages but move forward quickly.
Another major purpose of the summit was information sharing across agencies and partners so everyone is working from the same, up-to-date understanding of lamprey status, needs, and planned actions. The announcement specifically pointed to disseminating updates and aligning efforts related to the FWS Pacific Lamprey Conservation Initiative, the Tribal Pacific Lamprey Restoration Plan for the Columbia River Basin, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 10-Year Lamprey Passage Plan, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game lamprey plan, and potentially other relevant planning efforts. In practical terms, the summit was meant to function as a hub where the latest plans, findings, and priorities could be communicated efficiently to a broad set of partners.
A central deliverable highlighted in the opportunity was solidifying partner commitment through a Conservation Agreement for Pacific lamprey. The summit was positioned as the setting for partners to formally affirm their roles and intentions, including a ceremonial signing of the Conservation Agreement. This element was meant to translate collaborative intentions into a documented, visible commitment among tribes, FWS, and other resource agencies.
Finally, the opportunity aimed to push beyond broad strategy into region-specific action through Regional Implementation Plans. Feedback to the FWS initiative indicated partners wanted restoration implementation to begin, so Summit III was intended to initiate discussions on prioritizing actions and research at the regional scale, including how to sequence work and focus resources where they can have the greatest impact.
Administratively, the opportunity fell under CFDA 15.608 (Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance) and was categorized as an environmental discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument, reflecting an expectation of active federal involvement rather than a hands-off grant. Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. The posting date was May 14, 2012, with a very short application window closing May 18, 2012, and an archive date of June 17, 2012. The listed point of contact was Robert Haverkate, Agreements Assistant, at 360-604-2519.
