Opportunity Summary:
The Pyramid Lake Fishery Evaluation II grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00149) was a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. The project focus was natural resources management, specifically the evaluation of cutthroat trout performance in the Pyramid Lake fishery. The core purpose was to use an existing mark-recapture and broader fishery data database to analyze trends and outcomes for the trout population and to turn those findings into a practical Fishery Management Plan that could guide future management decisions.
The work envisioned under this opportunity centered on technical evaluation and planning rather than field construction or infrastructure. "Mark-recapture" data generally supports population estimation and performance indicators such as abundance, survival, growth, and recruitment, and the notice indicates that these and other fishery datasets were to be synthesized to assess how cutthroat trout were doing over time. The end product was expected to be a management plan grounded in evidence from the database, likely translating analyses into recommendations on monitoring priorities, harvest or angling management considerations (if relevant), stocking strategies (if used), habitat or access considerations, and measurable objectives for the fishery going forward.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, meaning the applicant pool was primarily state universities and similar public academic entities. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically reduces barriers to participation and allows the project to be funded fully through the award, subject to the agency's final budget decisions.
The opportunity was posted on March 25, 2015, and had a short application window, with an original and final closing date of April 5, 2015. The notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $49,119. Award ceiling and award floor were both listed as $0, which often indicates the announcement did not specify per-award limits in the summary field even though an estimated total program amount was provided.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the contact listed was Misty Summers, Budget Technician/COR, reachable at 775-265-2425 or MistySummers@fws.gov. An additional information link was provided via Grants.gov at http://www.grants.gov/.
