Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a discretionary cooperative agreement announced by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (Mid-Pacific Region), focused on providing statistical and technical support for fish-related investigations in the Klamath Basin spanning southern Oregon and northern California. The project is titled "Statistical Support for Fish Investigations in the Klamath Basin of Oregon and California" and is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.517 under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act. The agreement is planned under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework, specifically CESU number R11AC10001, which is typically used to streamline collaboration between federal agencies and eligible research partners.
The core purpose of the agreement is to deliver an independent technical review and statistical expertise related to Reclamation's evaluation of how the Klamath Irrigation Project may affect native fish populations. The emphasis is on fish species in the region that are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). In practical terms, this means the work is intended to strengthen the scientific and analytical basis behind impact assessments, likely including reviewing study designs, evaluating monitoring data and analytical methods, and ensuring that conclusions about potential project effects on sensitive fish species are supported by sound statistical reasoning. The geographic focus is the South Central Oregon and Northern California area, which aligns with the Klamath Basin and the irrigation project footprint.
A key point in the announcement is that it is a Notice of Intent to Award rather than an open, competitive solicitation. The Bureau of Reclamation states its intent to make the award to the University of Washington and notes that the government has discretion not to compete the assistance action under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4). Because of that, the notice explicitly states it is not a request for competitive proposals, even though a general list of eligible applicant types is included in the source data. The eligibility section clarifies the practical reality: this requirement is posted as a Notice of Intent to Award to the University of Washington.
From a funding and administrative perspective, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number R12AS20007. The estimated total funding listed is $461,135, with an award ceiling of $156,724 and an award floor of $0. The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) and does not require cost sharing or matching. The posting date and creation date are both February 29, 2012, with an original and current closing date of March 14, 2012, and an archive date of March 16, 2012. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, consistent with fish and wildlife impact analysis tied to water and irrigation project operations.
The notice also references registration requirements that applied at the time, namely Central Contractor Registration (CCR), which was the predecessor to later federal registration systems. The announcement provides a contact for questions and access issues: Judy A. Hudson, Grants Management Specialist at the Bureau of Reclamation, including email (jhudson@usbr.gov) and phone (916 978 5058). Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted federal-to-university cooperative agreement aimed at improving the statistical rigor and technical defensibility of analyses concerning irrigation project impacts on ESA-listed native fish in the Klamath Basin.
