Opportunity Summary:

The Walker River Paiute Tribe WR Restoration grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00047) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding action focused on developing a restoration plan for the Walker River Riparian Corridor located on the Walker River Paiute Reservation. The central purpose is to lay out a coordinated approach for restoring and enhancing the river and its surrounding riparian habitat so that native fish, wildlife, and plant communities can recover and thrive over the long term, ultimately improving ecosystem health and delivering broad benefits to the reservation and the surrounding region.

This funding was offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category, meaning the Fish and Wildlife Service anticipated working closely with the recipient during project execution rather than simply issuing a stand-alone grant with minimal federal involvement. The opportunity was tied to CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance, which generally supports technical and on-the-ground efforts that conserve fish and wildlife resources and their habitats. In practical terms, the funded work is best understood as planning and restoration design for the riparian corridor, supporting decisions about what restoration actions are needed, where they should occur, how they should be prioritized, and what methods will be used to achieve measurable ecological improvements.

The total funding amount for this opportunity was set at $150,000, with an award floor and ceiling both fixed at $150,000, indicating a single, fully defined award size rather than a competitive range of possible grant amounts. Only one award was expected. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient was not required to provide non-federal matching dollars as a condition of funding.

Eligibility was limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments, aligning with the location and purpose of the project on the Walker River Paiute Reservation. The posting timeline shows the opportunity was posted on January 10, 2013, created on January 16, 2013, and closed on January 25, 2013 (original and current closing dates were the same). A notable detail is that it was explicitly stated to not be a request for applications, which typically means the agency intended to make an award through a specific mechanism such as a directed or non-competitive cooperative agreement with an identified recipient, rather than open competition.

For additional details, the public listing referenced Grants.gov as the information source. For access issues or assistance with the full announcement, the contact provided was Mistylynn Summers, Budget Technician, reachable at 775-265-2425 or MistySummers@fws.gov.
