Opportunity Summary:
The SBT Monitoring Evaluations grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00011) was a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.661, the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan (LSRCP). The main purpose of the award was to develop and carry out a monitoring and evaluation program focused on fish released in the lower Snake River, specifically tied to LSRCP facilities located in Idaho. In practical terms, the funded work was intended to produce real-world measurements and analysis of how well released fish survive after release and how much of that release contributes to harvest, helping managers understand whether release strategies are meeting mitigation and fisheries objectives.
The project focus, as stated in the announcement, centered on two outcomes: survival and harvest. Survival evaluation typically involves tracking fish after release to estimate how many persist through key life stages and migration periods, while harvest evaluation addresses how many of those fish are eventually caught in fisheries. Because the opportunity is framed as a monitoring and evaluation program, it implies an ongoing or structured set of field and analytical activities rather than a one-time study, with methods likely to include systematic sampling, tagging or marking approaches, coordination with harvest reporting systems, and data analysis designed to translate observations into survival and harvest estimates that can inform LSRCP operations in Idaho.
Funding for the opportunity was set as a single anticipated award (Expected Awards: 1) with total funding of $377,295. The award floor and ceiling were both listed at $377,295, meaning the agency expected to fund one project at that exact amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be considered eligible or competitive under the terms described.
Eligibility was limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The grant instrument type was a standard grant, and the activity category was listed under Natural Resources, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development, reflecting the applied fisheries science and management evaluation nature of the work.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted and created on October 22, 2013, with an original and current closing date of November 5, 2013, and an archive date of November 22, 2013. This indicates a relatively short application window typical of certain targeted or specialized federal funding notices.

The listed point of contact was Margaret Anderson at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable at 208-378-5299 or via email at MargaretMAnderson@fws.gov, with the note that applicants having difficulty accessing the announcement electronically could contact her for assistance.
