Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "SRBA Tribal Management for Kooskia NFH" (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00319) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) focused on natural resources management. Its purpose is to provide funding to the Nez Perce Tribe to manage day-to-day operations at the Kooskia National Fish Hatchery, consistent with obligations and arrangements established under the Snake River Basin Adjudication (SRBA) Settlement of 2005. In practical terms, the opportunity is tied to implementing a specific settlement framework, with the Tribe serving in a key operational role at the hatchery rather than the program being a broad, open competition for multiple different applicants or project types.
This award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which usually means there is an expectation of substantial involvement by the federal agency during the period of performance. That can include coordination on planning, oversight, reporting, and alignment with federal hatchery management requirements while supporting the Tribe's management responsibilities under the settlement. The funding activity category is listed as Natural Resources, and the CFDA program number is 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance, which signals that the work is connected to fisheries and wildlife management support activities rather than construction or unrelated research.
The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $391,894. The funding was tightly defined: both the award ceiling and award floor were $391,894, indicating the agency had a set amount designated for this specific purpose. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Although the eligibility category is broad on paper, the description makes clear the intent is funding with the Nez Perce Tribe specifically to carry out management of the Kooskia National Fish Hatchery under the SRBA Settlement of 2005. The posting timeline was short: the opportunity was posted and created on July 6, 2015, and it closed on July 13, 2015, with the archive date listed as August 7, 2015. The listing also provided an additional information link through Grants.gov and included a contact for access issues or questions: Heather Leopard, Administrative Officer, reachable at (208) 476-2223 or heatherleopard@fws.gov.
