Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Sacramento River Salmonid Passage Model for Data Assessment in Real Time" is a Bureau of Reclamation discretionary funding action that plans to award a single cooperative agreement to the University of Washington. It is issued under CFDA 15.517 (Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act) and related statutory authorities, with the Department of the Interior delegating authority to Reclamation to carry out this work. The notice is explicitly a notice of intent to award and not a competitive solicitation, meaning the government is not requesting proposals from other applicants and retains discretion to proceed without competition under the cited departmental manual provision.
The project centers on improving the ability to forecast and evaluate juvenile salmonid (young salmon and related species) movement through the Sacramento River and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, using modeling and real-time or near-real-time data access. The technical scope has three main objectives. First, the recipient will develop a new fish passage model or adapt an existing one to better predict where and when juvenile salmonids move and how abundant they may be across the Sacramento River and Delta system. Second, the project will build and deploy a spatially referenced data inventory and an open-source, publicly accessible query platform and website called SacDART (Data Access in Real Time). The intent of SacDART is to integrate regional datasets in a way that supports research and decision-making by making data easier to find, query, and use across agencies and stakeholders. Third, the agreement includes monitoring, evaluation, and delivery of data products and services to help predict, track, and assess the effectiveness of management actions that are planned or implemented during Water Years 2016 and 2017, with an emphasis on understanding whether actions intended to improve fish passage and survival are producing measurable results.
Funding for the cooperative agreement is approximately $385,110 provided by Reclamation in Fiscal Year 2015, with the source listing also showing an estimated total funding amount of $387,563 and a fixed award floor and ceiling of $387,563 in the opportunity record. The opportunity anticipates one award, does not require cost sharing or matching, and lists eligibility as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, though the narrative makes clear the planned recipient is the University of Washington. Key administrative dates in the posting show it was posted May 29, 2015, with a closing date of June 12, 2015, and an archive date of June 13, 2015. For questions or access issues, the point of contact is Megan Bryant, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by email at mbryant@usbr.gov.
