Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS) posted a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Sediment loading and functional assessment of Medicine Lake National Wildlife Refuge" (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00035). The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects to stay involved during the project through coordination, shared technical input, or other substantial participation rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The opportunity was posted on November 20, 2015, created the same day, and carried a single application deadline of November 27, 2015.
The project focus is a targeted assessment of sediment conditions affecting Medicine Lake within the Medicine Lake National Wildlife Refuge. The first objective is to determine the extent of sediment loading in Medicine Lake, essentially quantifying how much sediment is entering and accumulating in the lake and characterizing where and how that sediment is being delivered. The second objective is to determine accretion rates by surface water source, meaning the work should measure or estimate how quickly sediment is building up over time and attribute those accumulation rates to different inflows or contributing water sources. The third objective is to use the findings to develop future water management options for refuge managers, translating the sediment and accretion information into practical, defensible strategies the refuge can consider for managing water, reducing or redirecting sediment inputs, and protecting habitat and refuge functions.
Financially, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $50,000 and anticipates making one award. The funding activity category is labeled as "Other" (with clarification referenced in the original posting), and the CFDA numbers associated with the opportunity are 15.655. Eligibility is broadly described as "Others" with additional details referenced in the full notice, which usually indicates the program may accept applications from non-traditional categories depending on the stated criteria (for example, certain organizations, partnerships, or entities not covered by standard labels). In practical terms, this grant is designed to support a single, focused project that combines field or analytical assessment of sediment dynamics with applied planning output that refuge staff can use for future water management decisions.

What is the overall purpose of the project?
The project is a targeted assessment of sediment conditions affecting Medicine Lake within the Medicine Lake National Wildlife Refuge, with results intended to inform future water management options for refuge managers.
Where is the work focused?
The work is focused on Medicine Lake within the Medicine Lake National Wildlife Refuge.
What are the main objectives of the project?
The project includes three main objectives: (1) determine the extent of sediment loading in Medicine Lake, (2) determine accretion rates by surface water source, and (3) use the findings to develop future water management options for refuge managers.
What does "determine the extent of sediment loading" mean in this context?
It means quantifying how much sediment is entering and accumulating in Medicine Lake and characterizing where and how that sediment is being delivered.
What does "determine accretion rates by surface water source" mean?
It means measuring or estimating how quickly sediment is building up over time and attributing those accumulation rates to different inflows or contributing surface water sources.
What kind of final outputs is this project expected to support?
Based on the posting, the project is expected to produce findings that can be translated into practical, defensible future water management options for refuge managers, including strategies to manage water, reduce or redirect sediment inputs, and protect habitat and refuge functions.
How will the project results be used?
The results are intended to support refuge decision-making by turning sediment loading and accretion information into future water management options the refuge can consider.
What is the maximum award amount?
The award ceiling is $50,000.
How many awards are expected to be made?
The opportunity anticipated making one award.
What is the funding activity category for this opportunity?
The funding activity category is labeled as "Other" (with additional clarification referenced in the original posting).
What CFDA number is associated with this opportunity?

Who is eligible to apply?
Eligibility is broadly described as "Others," with additional details referenced in the full notice. This typically suggests the opportunity may accept applications from non-traditional categories depending on the criteria spelled out in the complete announcement.
Does this opportunity support a single focused project or multiple projects?
It is designed to support a single, focused project, as indicated by the expectation of one award and the defined set of objectives centered on Medicine Lake sediment conditions and management planning.
What is the connection between sediment assessment and refuge management in this opportunity?
The sediment assessment components (sediment loading and accretion rates by source) are meant to directly inform applied planning deliverables that refuge staff can use to evaluate and develop future water management strategies.
Is the work strictly scientific measurement, or does it include planning?
Based on the stated objectives, it includes both assessment (quantifying sediment loading and accretion rates) and an applied planning component (developing future water management options for refuge managers using the findings).
