Opportunity Summary:
The Swim Thru Fishway Research Project (Funding Opportunity Number 11SS10004) is a Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region grant notice posted on August 13, 2011 under CFDA 15.517 (Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act). Even though it appears in the format of a funding opportunity, the announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that Reclamation intends to make a single discretionary grant award without full and open competition.
The planned award is intended for one recipient: the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), with eligibility listed as state governments. Reclamation indicates it plans to enter into a grant agreement with ODFW so ODFW can evaluate the effectiveness of a new fish passage approach described as a "swim thru" fishway system. The core goal is applied research: testing whether this newer fish passage concept works well enough to be used at fish migration barriers, especially low and mid-height dams, where traditional passage solutions may be difficult, expensive, or less effective. The project is framed around a public purpose mission: generating research results that can help Reclamation develop and implement improved methods to protect fish and support upstream migration at Reclamation-owned or Reclamation-operated facilities.
From a funding and administrative perspective, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary, uses a grant instrument, falls under the Environment and Natural Resources activity area, and anticipates one award. The estimated total funding is $36,745, with an award ceiling also listed as $36,745, indicating the project budget is expected to be at or near that amount. No cost sharing or matching is required. The notice shows an original and current closing date of August 27, 2011, and an archive date of August 28, 2011, which is typical for announcements that are posted to satisfy transparency requirements for noncompetitive or limited-competition awards rather than to solicit proposals from the public.
For access issues or questions about the notice itself, the listed contact is Lisa Strong, Acting Grants Management Specialist, at 208-378-5138 or lstrong@usbr.gov.
