Opportunity Summary:
The PSMFC Hatchery Evaluation grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00008) was a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan (CFDA 15.661). The main purpose of the award was to support work in Idaho focused on hatchery-related evaluation on the lower Snake River, specifically by developing and carrying out a program that measures what happens to fish released from Lower Snake River Compensation Plan (LSRCP) facilities. In practical terms, the project was aimed at generating defensible information on two core outcomes after release: survival (how many fish persist through key life stages and migration) and harvest (how many ultimately contribute to fisheries and are caught).
The opportunity was categorized under Natural Resources, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development, reflecting that the funding was intended for field-based monitoring, data collection, and analysis rather than construction or routine operations. The scope implied implementing an evaluation framework that could credibly track released fish and quantify performance, such as through tagging and mark-recapture approaches, recovery and reporting programs, or coordinated monitoring efforts that connect hatchery releases to downstream survival and fishery harvest metrics. While the announcement text is brief, the stated objective makes clear that the funded work needed to be an operational program (not just a plan) capable of producing usable results about the effectiveness of LSRCP releases in the lower Snake River environment.
There was one expected award, with a fixed funding amount: an estimated total of $352,945, which also served as both the award ceiling and the award floor. That structure indicates the agency anticipated making a single grant at that exact level rather than funding a range of project sizes. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the listing explicitly stated there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility was limited to city or township governments, narrowing the applicant pool to local governmental entities rather than universities, nonprofits, tribes, or state agencies (based on the eligibility field provided). The announcement was posted and created on October 22, 2013, with an original and current closing date of November 5, 2013, and it was archived on November 22, 2013. Additional details and full announcement materials were available via Grants.gov at the provided link.
For assistance or issues accessing the announcement, the designated contact person was Margaret Anderson at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at 208-378-5299 or by email at MargaretMAnderson@fws.gov.
