Opportunity Summary:
The SRBA Tribal Co Management - COE grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00316) was a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. It was designed to support a single award to a federally recognized tribal government, specifically to fund work with the Nez Perce Tribe to jointly manage operations at the Dworshak National Fish Hatchery. The core purpose of the award was to carry out co-management responsibilities established under the Snake River Basin Adjudication (SRBA) Settlement of 2005, which set out commitments and operational arrangements tied to fisheries management in the Snake River Basin.
This opportunity was structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, meaning the project was expected to involve substantial federal involvement and close coordination between the Tribe and the Fish and Wildlife Service in day-to-day or programmatic implementation. The activity area fell under natural resources, and the scope focused on joint operational management at the hatchery rather than a broad open competition for unrelated conservation projects. The eligibility category listed was Native American tribal governments (federally recognized), and the listing indicates it was effectively intended for the Nez Perce Tribe as the co-management partner identified in the settlement framework.
Funding was fixed and specific: the estimated total funding was $615,797, and both the award ceiling and award floor were also $615,797, signaling an anticipated single, fully defined award amount rather than a range. The opportunity anticipated one award and did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which typically reduces barriers to participation and aligns with situations where the federal government is meeting a defined obligation or implementing a negotiated settlement-related commitment.
The posting timeline was short and time-limited. The opportunity was posted July 1, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 10, 2015, and it was later archived on August 2, 2015. For access issues or questions, the listed point of contact was Heather Leopard, Administrative Officer, reachable at 208-476-2223 and heatherleopard@fws.gov. Additional details were referenced through the Grants.gov listing associated with the announcement.
