Opportunity Summary:
The Santa Clara River ARCO Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) / Santa Clara River Reserve opportunity is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service funding announcement intended to support the creation and operation of a Santa Clara River Reserve project tied to restoration needs arising from the ARCO oil spill. The central idea is to build a multifunctional station that can serve as a hub for facilities, infrastructure, and an institutional framework capable of supporting long-term environmental studies and natural resource policy research. The project emphasizes integrating existing information with newly collected data so that research and decision-making can more directly support conservation of biodiversity and the maintenance of ecosystem processes, with a strong focus on large-scale riparian ecosystem restoration. That restoration work is framed as compensatory restoration meant to address and offset documented natural resource injuries linked to the ARCO spill.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the performance of the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The announcement anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1). The total estimated funding is $625,000, and the award ceiling and floor are both listed as $625,000, meaning the opportunity is structured around one fixed-size award rather than a range of possible award amounts. The project budget is planned to be distributed in one-year increments over a five-year agreement period, with the first year funded at $125,000. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so the selected recipient would need to provide some level of non-federal contribution consistent with the program terms described in the full announcement.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which aligns with the project context since the Reserve system is described as being managed by the University of California. The funding activity category is listed as Environment, and the CFDA program number is 15.658 (Natural Resource Damage Assessment, Restoration and Implementation). The opportunity was posted on July 8, 2010, with an application closing date of July 23, 2010, and it was archived on August 22, 2010. The funding opportunity number is NRDAR 81440 1002.

Applicants were instructed to click the "Application" button near the top of the listing, then use the "download" link under "Instructions and Application" on the right side of the lower bar, and finally select "Download Application Instructions" for the complete announcement and "Download Application Package" for required forms. For help obtaining the announcement materials, the listed contact is Dwight (Ike) Luginbill, Grants/Agreements Assistant at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at 209-946-6400 ext. 340.
