Opportunity Summary:
The Stanislaus River Juvenile Salmonid Survival Study is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) through the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPI) Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (AFRP), CFDA 15.648. It is focused on natural resources work and is intended to fund one project that will generate reach-specific estimates of juvenile salmonid survival in the lower Stanislaus River. The core purpose is to design and carry out a field study that can show where, geographically, juvenile salmonids are most likely to die as they move downstream, helping managers pinpoint mortality "hotspots" along different river reaches.
The project is framed around determining the geographic distribution of mortality rather than proving the exact cause of mortality. In other words, applicants are not required to identify whether losses are due to predation, habitat conditions, water operations, disease, or other factors, but any additional information that helps interpret why losses occur would be considered useful. The most important deliverable is a defensible survival analysis across the lower river that breaks survival down by reach so that restoration, operations, or management actions can be better targeted.
Methodology is intentionally left open-ended for the applicant to propose, but proposals are expected to be grounded in existing monitoring infrastructure and proven tagging and tracking approaches used in the region. The announcement specifically notes the ongoing rotary screw trap operations at Oakdale and Caswell, which suggests the study should integrate with these trapping locations for fish capture, marking, release, and/or detection. It also points applicants toward established fish marking and telemetry technologies, including Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags, Juvenile Salmon Acoustic Telemetry System (JSATS) tags, and other micro-transmitter systems that have already been applied in similar survival studies in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. This indicates the funder is looking for an approach that can produce reach-level survival estimates using mark-recapture, telemetry-based detection arrays, or a combined design that leverages trapping and downstream detections to estimate survival through sequential river segments.
Financially, the opportunity offered an estimated total of $200,000, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $200,000, meaning the agency anticipated making a single award at that exact amount. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive, although applicants could still propose leveraged resources if relevant. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant entity unless additional eligibility clarifications were provided elsewhere in the full announcement.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted on February 24, 2011, created on March 2, 2011, and originally scheduled to close on March 14, 2011. The closing date was extended to March 31, 2011, specifically to provide additional time for applicants to complete Central Contractor Registration (CCR), which was a required registration step at the time for federal awards. The opportunity was archived on April 30, 2011, reflecting that it was a time-limited solicitation.
For applicant support or access issues with the full announcement, the listed contact was Dwight (Ike) Luginbill, Grants/Agreements Assistant at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at 209-946-6400 x340.

19) What kinds of study designs are implied by the grant description?
The description indicates the funder is looking for an approach that can produce reach-level survival estimates using mark-recapture, telemetry-based detection arrays, or a combined design that leverages trapping and downstream detections to estimate survival through sequential river segments.
