Opportunity Summary:
The SF SIMCOE FEEDER DITCH SCREEN grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00232) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Partners for Fish and Wildlife program (CFDA 15.631). The purpose is to restore and improve fish and wildlife habitat in ways that benefit the American public, with an emphasis on on-the-ground habitat improvements that support Service trust resources. The announcement frames eligible work broadly around restoration of wetlands, uplands, riparian corridors, and instream functions, as well as projects that remove barriers or otherwise restore fish passage. In practical terms, a project titled "feeder ditch screen" typically points to installing or upgrading screening at a diversion or ditch intake so fish are prevented from entering irrigation conveyance systems while still allowing water delivery, thereby reducing fish mortality and improving connectivity and habitat function.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordinating technical design, permitting guidance, or monitoring expectations), rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $25,000 and an award ceiling of $25,000; the award floor was listed as $0, indicating the agency could choose to fund at a lower amount depending on final scope, budget, or negotiated work plan. No cost sharing or matching requirement was specified, meaning applicants were not required to bring non-federal match to be considered, though voluntary partner contributions are often common in habitat work and can sometimes strengthen implementation capacity.
Eligibility for this opportunity was limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The posting date was June 22, 2012 (created June 20, 2012), with an application closing date of July 5, 2012, and the opportunity was archived on July 6, 2012. Anyone needing the full announcement details was directed to Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Casey Maison (509-548-2980, caseymaison@fws.gov).
