Opportunity Summary:
The Stanislaus River Salmon Project is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.648 (Natural Resources). The grant is tied to the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA), Title 34 of Public Law 102-575, and is designed to strengthen salmonid monitoring and data management in Californias Central Valley by improving how key population information is collected, standardized, and made available for timely use.
At its core, the opportunity addresses a practical need faced by CVPIA staff: reliable, high-quality adult and juvenile salmonid monitoring data that can be accessed quickly and compared across years. The project focuses on two related workstreams. First, it funds the collection and reporting of new juvenile monitoring data for Chinook salmon and steelhead using rotary screw traps placed near Caswell State Park on the Stanislaus River. Rotary screw traps are commonly used to capture outmigrating juvenile fish so biologists can estimate timing, relative abundance, and other metrics that help evaluate river conditions, management actions, and survival patterns. The grant emphasizes not just collecting the fish data, but producing monitoring results in a way that is useful for ongoing program decisions, meaning regular reporting and consistent formatting are central expectations.
Second, the opportunity supports data entry and data management work to bring historical adult Chinook salmon escapement records into a standardized database structure. Escapement data generally refer to counts or estimates of adult salmon that return from the ocean and successfully migrate back to freshwater spawning areas. In many long-running monitoring programs, these records exist in mixed formats, including paper files, spreadsheets, legacy databases, and inconsistent digital templates. This grant specifically aims to convert those scattered historical records into a consistent, organized database so they can be queried, analyzed, and integrated with newer datasets. The larger goal is to reduce delays and errors that come from fragmented recordkeeping and to make long-term trend analysis more dependable.
The opportunity was listed as open to unrestricted applicants (meaning it was broadly available to different entity types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement). It anticipated making a single award, with an award ceiling of $790,000. The posting was created on August 26, 2016, with an original closing date of October 26, 2016, and it was required to remain posted for at least 60 days. Overall, the funding is targeted at improving both on-the-ground monitoring on the Stanislaus River and the behind-the-scenes data standardization work needed to support credible, long-term salmon management under the CVPIA framework.

Where will the rotary screw traps be placed?
The rotary screw traps are to be placed near Caswell State Park on the Stanislaus River.
What are rotary screw traps used for in this project?
Rotary screw traps are commonly used to capture outmigrating juvenile fish so biologists can estimate timing, relative abundance, and other metrics that help evaluate river conditions, management actions, and survival patterns.
