Opportunity Summary:
The Regional Mark Processing grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00234) was a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance program (CFDA 15.608). Its purpose was narrowly focused and highly technical: to support the central database that houses information on all West Coast coded-wire tag (CWT) releases and recoveries. In practical terms, this funding was aimed at keeping a shared, region-wide mark and recovery data system operating reliably so fisheries managers and researchers can track tagged fish across releases, harvest, and returns, and use those data to guide science-based management decisions.
The opportunity sat within the “Science and Technology and other Research and Development†activity category and was designed to result in a single award. Total funding was estimated at $236,189, and both the award ceiling and floor were set at exactly $236,189, indicating the agency intended to fund one project at a fixed amount rather than a range of potential budgets. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The posting date and creation date were both June 20, 2012. The original and current closing date were the same: July 11, 2012. The opportunity was archived on July 13, 2012, meaning it is no longer open for applications and is retained for recordkeeping and reference.
Conceptually, “regional mark processing†in this context refers to the handling, standardization, and maintenance of coded-wire tag data, including ensuring that release information (when, where, and how fish were tagged and released) and recovery information (when and where tagged fish were later detected in fisheries or on spawning grounds) are stored, validated, and accessible in a consistent way. Because CWT programs involve many agencies and sampling programs across multiple states and fisheries, a central database is critical for avoiding fragmented datasets, supporting consistent reporting, and enabling coastwide analyses. Funding for this kind of work typically supports database operations, data ingestion and quality control, coordination among partners, and the routine production or distribution of datasets used by managers and scientists.
For further details, the announcement was hosted on Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact was Rich Johnson at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (503-231-6835, richrjohnson@fws.gov).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the Regional Mark Processing grant opportunity?
The Regional Mark Processing grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00234) was a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). It was part of the Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance program (CFDA 15.608) and focused on supporting a highly technical, shared system used for West Coast coded-wire tag (CWT) data.
What was the purpose of this grant?
The purpose was to support the central database that houses information on all West Coast coded-wire tag releases and recoveries. The funding was intended to keep this shared, region-wide mark and recovery data system operating reliably so fisheries managers and researchers can track tagged fish across releases, harvest, and returns and use those data for science-based management decisions.
What is meant by "regional mark processing" in this announcement?
In this context, "regional mark processing" refers to the handling, standardization, and maintenance of coded-wire tag (CWT) data. This includes ensuring that release information (when, where, and how fish were tagged and released) and recovery information (when and where tagged fish were later detected in fisheries or on spawning grounds) are stored, validated, and accessible in a consistent way.
What is a coded-wire tag (CWT) database used for?
The central CWT database supports coastwide tracking and analysis of tagged fish by storing release and recovery records. This helps fisheries managers and researchers evaluate harvest and returns and conduct consistent, region-wide analyses that inform management decisions.
Why does the West Coast CWT program need a central database?
CWT programs involve many agencies and sampling programs across multiple states and fisheries. A central database is critical for avoiding fragmented datasets, supporting consistent reporting, and enabling coastwide analyses using standardized and validated data.
