Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Propagation of Rio Grande Silvery Minnow" (Funding Opportunity Number R13SS40017) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation, Upper Colorado Region, under CFDA 15.537 (Middle Rio Grande Endangered Species Collaborative Program). It was created and posted on May 16, 2013, with an application closing date of May 30, 2013, and it was archived on May 31, 2013. The funding amount is fixed: the estimated total funding is $75,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are $75,000, indicating an expectation of a single award at that exact level.
This opportunity supports work connected to the Middle Rio Grande Endangered Species Act Collaborative Program, a congressionally formed initiative designed to advance recovery of federally listed endangered species in the Middle Rio Grande (MRG). A central theme of the program is balancing species recovery obligations under the Endangered Species Act with protection of existing and future water uses, while also respecting applicable state and federal laws, established water rights, and considerations described as the Rio Grande Impact.
The practical focus of this specific grant is the operation of a facility involved in conservation efforts for the Rio Grande Silvery Minnow (RGSM). The intent is to promote recovery by increasing the number of minnows in the wild through captive propagation and augmentation, meaning fish are bred and raised in controlled conditions and then used to bolster wild populations. In addition to supplementation of the wild population, the opportunity emphasizes maintaining a captive population as an insurance policy. This captive reserve is meant to reduce the risk of extinction if an unexpected catastrophic event affects the species in its natural habitat.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have been included in the full announcement. The funding instrument is a grant, the activity category is Environment, and the program anticipates one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would not be required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
For applicants or interested parties who could not access the complete announcement electronically, the listed contact is Lila Duffin, Grant Management Specialist at the Bureau of Reclamation, reachable by phone at 801-524-3647.
