Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a single-source notice of award (not a request for proposals) issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS), through the Arizona Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office (AZFWCO) under the Fish and Aquatic Conservation Program in Region 2. The project focuses on streams in Arizona's Mogollon Rim emphasis area and looks specifically at how the presence of native versus nonnative fish relates to streamflow patterns as captured by the five standard components of a stream hydrograph. The underlying conservation problem is that nonnative fish are widespread across Southwestern streams and lakes and are a major driver of native fish declines through competition and predation, yet a small number of Arizona streams show an unusual pattern where native and nonnative fish appear to persist together in relatively stable numbers. AZFWCO has been investigating why this coexistence happens, with early emphasis on stream flow and hydrograph-related factors.
At the same time, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Arizona Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit at the University of Arizona has been running related research into potential drivers of this same coexistence pattern. Their work includes evaluating stream-scale and landscape-scale variables such as instream habitat types, riparian habitat types, and hydrograph characteristics. The purpose of this single-source cooperative agreement is essentially to align and strengthen these parallel efforts by providing additional funding to the ongoing USGS Cooperative Research Unit study, allowing the research team to broaden or deepen analyses that emphasize instream flow and the hydrograph. In practical terms, the grant is meant to help AZFWCO and the USGS unit "combine forces" so that hydrograph-based explanations for native-nonnative coexistence can be tested more thoroughly and translated into better management recommendations for recovery and persistence of imperiled native fishes.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, reflecting that the agency expects active involvement and collaboration rather than a hands-off grant. The opportunity is categorized under discretionary funding, with activity areas listed as Information and Statistics and Natural Resources. It is associated with CFDA numbers 15.608 and offers an award ceiling of $24,000, with one expected award. The posting and creation dates are April 26, 2016, with an application/closing date of July 1, 2016 (as listed for both original and current closing dates). While the notice includes a broad set of eligible applicant categories in the general listing (ranging from governments and universities to nonprofits and businesses), the key practical detail is that it is explicitly single-source, meaning the agency intended to fund a specific partner rather than run a competitive selection process.
Overall, the grant supports applied research that links fish community outcomes to hydrologic regime, aiming to explain a rare coexistence scenario in Arizona streams and to generate science that can inform flow management, habitat management, and recovery strategies for threatened and endangered native fish species in the region. The notice repeatedly points readers to the full NOFO text for additional details, but the central message is that the award is meant to expand an existing USGS-led effort with extra AZFWCO support, with hydrograph and instream flow as the core focus.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is this opportunity a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP)?
No. It is a single-source notice of award, meaning it is not a competitive solicitation and is not being run as an open RFP.
Which federal agency is issuing this notice?
The notice is issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), through the Arizona Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office (AZFWCO) under the Fish and Aquatic Conservation Program in Region 2.
What is the funding mechanism for this award?
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which indicates the agency expects active involvement and collaboration rather than a hands-off grant.
What is the main focus of the project?
The project focuses on streams in Arizona's Mogollon Rim emphasis area and examines how the presence of native versus nonnative fish relates to streamflow patterns as represented by the five standard components of a stream hydrograph.
What conservation problem is the project trying to address?
The project addresses the issue that nonnative fish are widespread in Southwestern streams and lakes and contribute to native fish declines through competition and predation. Despite this, a small number of Arizona streams show a rare pattern where native and nonnative fish persist together in relatively stable numbers, and AZFWCO has been investigating why.
Why is streamflow (hydrograph) important in this research?
Early AZFWCO investigations have emphasized streamflow and hydrograph-related factors as potential explanations for why native and nonnative fish can coexist in certain Arizona streams. This award is intended to help test hydrograph-based explanations more thoroughly.
Who is the intended research partner for this single-source award?
The notice indicates the award is intended to support and expand an ongoing study led by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Arizona Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit at the University of Arizona.
How does this award relate to existing research efforts?
AZFWCO and the USGS Arizona Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit have been conducting parallel efforts to understand native-nonnative fish coexistence. This cooperative agreement is meant to align and strengthen those efforts by providing additional funding to broaden or deepen analyses emphasizing instream flow and the hydrograph.
What kinds of variables has the USGS research unit been evaluating?
The USGS unit has been evaluating stream-scale and landscape-scale variables, including instream habitat types, riparian habitat types, and hydrograph characteristics.
What types of outcomes or deliverables is the award aiming to support?
The intent is to generate applied science that can be translated into improved management recommendations, including guidance relevant to flow management, habitat management, and recovery strategies for imperiled native fish.
What are the activity areas associated with this opportunity?
The activity areas listed are Information and Statistics and Natural Resources.
Is this considered discretionary funding?
Yes. The notice categorizes the opportunity under discretionary funding.
What CFDA numbers are associated with this opportunity?
The opportunity is associated with CFDA numbers 15.608.
What is the maximum award amount (award ceiling)?
The award ceiling is $24,000.
How many awards are expected?
One award is expected.
What are the key dates listed in the notice?
The posting and creation dates are April 26, 2016. The application/closing date is July 1, 2016 (listed as both the original and current closing date).
Who is listed as eligible to apply?
The general listing includes a broad range of eligible applicant categories (such as governments, universities, nonprofits, and businesses). However, the notice is explicitly single-source, meaning the agency intended to fund a specific partner rather than run a competitive selection process.
What geographic area does the project emphasize?
The project emphasizes streams in Arizona, specifically within the Mogollon Rim emphasis area.
What is meant by the "five standard components of a stream hydrograph" in the context of this notice?
The notice states that streamflow patterns will be assessed using the five standard components of a stream hydrograph, and that these components will be used to relate hydrologic regime to native versus nonnative fish presence. The notice itself does not provide additional detail beyond referencing those components as the framework for analysis.
Where can applicants or readers find more detailed requirements?
The notice repeatedly directs readers to the full NOFO text for additional details beyond what is summarized in the notice.
