Opportunity Summary:
The Steelhead VSP Project (Funding Opportunity Number R13SS13001) is a discretionary grant notice issued by the Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region, to announce its intent to make a single grant award without full and open competition. This announcement is not a request for applications; instead, it serves as public notice that Reclamation plans to enter into a grant agreement specifically with the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation.
The purpose of the project is to fund a study focused on evaluating the population status and trends of salmonids, looking at both adult and juvenile fish. The information collected through this work is intended to support recovery efforts for steelhead populations in the Yakima Basin by improving understanding of how the population is performing over time. The funding aligns with environmental and natural resource priorities and is tied to CFDA 15.517 (Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act).
The opportunity anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $90,000, which is also the maximum (award ceiling). No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed. Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and in this case the agency states its intent to award directly to the Yakama Nation.
The notice was posted and created on March 8, 2013, with a closing date of March 22, 2013, and an archive date of March 23, 2013. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed contact is Sharon Hamson, Grants Management Specialist, at the Bureau of Reclamation’s Columbia-Cascades Area Office (phone 509-575-5848 ext. 254).
