Opportunity Summary:

The "Public Outreach and Education" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R11AS20025) is a reposted Notice of Intent from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (Mid-Pacific Region), to issue a cooperative agreement tied to the Trinity River Restoration Program (TRRP). The funding is authorized under CFDA 15.532 (Central Valley Project, Trinity River Division, Trinity River Fish and Wildlife Management) and the Central Valley Project Improvement Act authorities in Public Law 102-575, specifically Sections 3406(b)(1) and 3407(e). The Bureau of Reclamation lists an estimated total award amount of $754,888, with an award ceiling of $754,888 and no cost sharing or matching requirement.

The core purpose of the agreement is to support public outreach and education efforts that build understanding of Trinity River restoration work and improve the chances that restoration projects succeed over the long term by increasing acceptance and community support. The proposed activities are designed to reach a wide range of stakeholders, including local residents, landowners, business owners, schools, elected officials, recreational visitors, and others with an interest in the river and surrounding resources. Rather than funding construction or direct habitat work, the emphasis is on communication and engagement that helps the public see why the restoration program matters and how it affects the region.

Planned outreach deliverables include preparing, printing, and distributing newsletters, TRRP brochures, and related informational documents. The program also anticipates sponsoring appropriate river conservation-related activities and creating public-facing displays such as interpretive signs. These displays and materials are intended to highlight practical benefits of TRRP projects, including improvements to fish populations, wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities, and broader community values connected to the river.

This posting is not a competitive grant solicitation. It is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award to the Trinity County Resource Conservation District, and the government states that the decision not to compete the assistance is at its sole discretion under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(1) and (4). While the general eligibility section lists multiple applicant types (such as various levels of government, federally recognized tribes, special districts, and individuals), the notice clarifies that this requirement is a reposting tied to an intended award to the Trinity County Resource Conservation District rather than an open call for proposals.

Key administrative details include the instrument type (cooperative agreement), activity category (Natural Resources), and an expected number of awards of one. The opportunity was posted and created on Aug 24, 2011, with a closing date of Sep 7, 2011, and an archive date of Sep 8, 2011. Questions are directed to Judy A. Hudson, Grants Management Specialist/Grants Officer, at jhudson@usbr.gov.
