Opportunity Summary:
The "Restoration of Lamprey Passage" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00421) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding program offered through a cooperative agreement to support on-the-ground work that improves fish passage for all lamprey species in Oregon's Umatilla and Walla Walla River basins. The core purpose is to fund efforts that address existing barriers in these river systems that prevent lamprey from moving upstream and downstream to complete their life cycle. By focusing on passage restoration, the program targets a practical, high-impact limiting factor for lamprey populations: blocked or impaired access to habitat due to manmade or modified structures in waterways.
A key feature of the opportunity is its flexible, basin-wide approach. Rather than restricting work to a single site, the agreement is meant to allow projects to occur at any waterway within the Umatilla and Walla Walla basins where one or more lamprey species are present. This is designed to support a comprehensive and strategic passage program, meaning partners can prioritize and address multiple barriers across the landscape as needs and opportunities arise, instead of being locked into a narrow project scope. In plain terms, it is intended to make it easier to act quickly and strategically where passage fixes will matter most.
The public benefit described in the announcement centers on conservation and recovery of an imperiled native fish group that plays an important role in Oregon's aquatic ecosystems. Lampreys are part of the broader native fish community, and restoring their movement corridors supports healthier, more connected river habitats. The opportunity also emphasizes partnership, specifically noting collaboration with CUTIR and other entities to coordinate actions and build a unified conservation strategy that aims to sustain lamprey populations for the long-term benefit of the American public.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted on September 12, 2012, with an application closing date of September 19, 2012 (both the original and current closing dates match). The program anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $40,000 and an award ceiling of $40,000 (no minimum award amount was specified, with an award floor of $0). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the financial barrier for eligible applicants and can make it more feasible for partners to carry out passage work without securing additional non-federal funds.
Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The funding is associated with CFDA number 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance, and falls under the Environment activity category. For applicants or interested parties needing help obtaining the full announcement, the listed contact is Robert Haverkate at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (360-604-2519, BobHaverkate@fws.gov). The announcement also references Grants.gov as the source for full opportunity details.
