Opportunity Summary:
The Unalakleet River Habitat Assessment, Unalakleet, Alaska (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00283) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category. The main purpose of the project is to measure and document fish habitat conditions in the area between the North River and the Unalakleet River in western Alaska, with a specific focus on salmon habitat. The work is designed to quantify how much usable habitat exists and to better understand how Chinook (king) salmon and Coho (silver) salmon use that habitat, including the degree to which the two species overlap in where they rear (juvenile growth areas) and where they spawn.
A central objective of the project is habitat quantification, meaning the selected recipient would conduct a habitat analysis of both the North and Unalakleet Rivers to determine the amount and distribution of rearing and spawning habitat available for Chinook and Coho salmon. In practical terms, this kind of assessment typically involves mapping river reaches, identifying habitat types (for example, pools, riffles, side channels, and off-channel sloughs), and measuring physical features that influence salmon survival and reproduction. The end result is intended to produce defensible estimates of habitat quantity for each life stage and species, along with information that helps explain where and how strongly the two salmon species may be sharing the same limited habitat areas.
The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $105,000. The award ceiling was $105,000 and the award floor was $88,000, indicating the agency expected proposals to fall within that range depending on the proposed scope and budget. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of applicant (such as state or local governments, tribes, universities, nonprofits, or private entities), as long as any additional eligibility conditions in the full announcement were met. Because this was issued as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, BLM likely expected to have substantial involvement in the project’s execution (for example, coordinating on methods, data needs, scheduling, or deliverables), which is a common distinction between cooperative agreements and more hands-off grant awards.
Key timing details show the announcement was posted and created on August 17, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 7, 2010. The opportunity was archived on September 30, 2010, meaning it is no longer accepting applications. The CFDA program number associated with the funding was 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management.
For applicants or interested parties who needed access to the full announcement, the listing pointed to Grants.gov as the additional information source. The contact for assistance was Sandee Smith, Grants Management Officer at the Bureau of Land Management, reachable at (907) 271-5193 or via email at s2smith@blm.gov.
