Opportunity Summary:
The Telemetry Research Project for Juvenile Spring Chinook Salmon (Funding Opportunity Number R13AS10013) is a discretionary natural-resources funding action issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region. The project centers on the Grande Ronde Subbasin in northeastern Oregon and is designed to generate practical, management-ready information about where juvenile spring Chinook salmon rear and survive through the winter, and where and when mortality occurs for fish that migrate later than others in the season. The intent is to use telemetry-based tracking data to pinpoint specific river reaches and time periods that most influence juvenile survival, so that habitat restoration and other on-the-ground improvements can be targeted where they will matter most.
The work is to be carried out by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and focuses on two connected research needs. First, the telemetry effort will determine the rearing reaches used by juvenile spring Chinook salmon that overwinter in the Grande Ronde Valley. In practice, that means tracking fish movements and location use through colder months to identify the stretches of the river and associated habitats that function as key winter refuges or rearing areas. Second, the project will identify the spatial and temporal bounds of mortality for late-migrant juvenile spring Chinook salmon in the upper Grande Ronde River. That part of the study is aimed at narrowing down where losses are happening (specific river segments) and when losses spike (particular windows during the migration period), which can help managers distinguish whether problems are tied to habitat conditions, flow and temperature patterns, predation hotspots, passage barriers, or other stressors.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, with an estimated total funding amount of $186,392 and an award ceiling of $186,392 (effectively a single award up to that amount). One award was anticipated. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The listing references CFDA number 15.517 under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act. The opportunity was posted July 26, 2013, created August 9, 2013, with an original closing date of August 9, 2013 and a current closing date of August 23, 2013; it was archived September 8, 2013.
Eligibility information included nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), but the announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as public notice of the Bureau of Reclamation’s intent to fund the described project activities without full and open competition. In other words, it is essentially a sole-source or directed funding notice rather than a competitive grant solicitation open for proposal submissions. Additional information was made available via Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Melinda Ritacco, Financial Assistance Specialist, at 208-378-5103 or mritacco@usbr.gov.
Overall, the core public benefit of the project is that it aims to convert fine-scale telemetry data into actionable habitat priorities in the Grande Ronde Subbasin. By identifying which overwintering habitats are most important and exactly where and when late migrants are dying, the results can guide significant habitat improvements and better-informed management decisions intended to increase juvenile survival and support spring Chinook salmon recovery in the watershed.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the Telemetry Research Project for Juvenile Spring Chinook Salmon?
It is a federal natural-resources funding action (Funding Opportunity Number R13AS10013) focused on using telemetry-based tracking to learn where juvenile spring Chinook salmon rear and survive through the winter, and where and when mortality occurs for juveniles that migrate later in the season.
Which federal agency is offering this funding opportunity?
The opportunity is issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region.
What geographic area does the project focus on?
The work centers on the Grande Ronde Subbasin in northeastern Oregon, with specific attention to the Grande Ronde Valley and the upper Grande Ronde River.
What is the main goal of the project?
The main goal is to generate practical, management-ready information that pinpoints specific river reaches and time periods that most influence juvenile spring Chinook salmon survival, so habitat restoration and other on-the-ground improvements can be targeted where they will matter most.
What kind of data or methods will be used?
The project relies on telemetry-based tracking data to follow fish movements, location use, and survival outcomes across river reaches and time periods.
What are the two connected research needs described in the notice?
First, the project will determine the rearing reaches used by juvenile spring Chinook salmon that overwinter in the Grande Ronde Valley. Second, it will identify the spatial and temporal bounds of mortality for late-migrant juvenile spring Chinook salmon in the upper Grande Ronde River.
What does "determine the rearing reaches used by juvenile spring Chinook salmon that overwinter" mean in practice?
It means tracking juvenile fish through the colder months to identify which stretches of river and associated habitats serve as key winter refuges or rearing areas.
What does the project mean by identifying the "spatial and temporal bounds of mortality" for late migrants?
It means narrowing down where losses occur (specific river segments) and when losses spike (particular windows during the migration period) for juvenile fish that migrate later than others.
How will the results be used for management or restoration?
The intent is to use telemetry results to pinpoint the river reaches and times that most influence juvenile survival, helping managers target habitat restoration and related improvements more effectively in the Grande Ronde Subbasin.
What kinds of factors could the mortality findings help managers evaluate?
The notice indicates the findings can help distinguish whether survival problems are tied to habitat conditions, flow and temperature patterns, predation hotspots, passage barriers, or other stressors.
What type of award is expected under this opportunity?
The funding is structured as a Cooperative Agreement.
How much funding is available?
The estimated total funding amount is $186,392, and the award ceiling is also $186,392 (effectively one award up to that amount).
