Opportunity Summary:

The Walker River Restoration and Cattle Exclusion Pilot Project (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00396) was a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance program (CFDA 15.608). The announcement focuses on natural resource work, specifically a pilot effort tied to restoration activities along the Walker River and measures aimed at excluding cattle from sensitive areas. While the short public listing does not spell out the full scope of on-the-ground actions, projects with this title typically involve restoring riparian and aquatic habitat conditions and reducing livestock impacts on riverbanks and adjacent wetlands, which can include damage to vegetation, bank stability, water quality, and habitat used by fish and wildlife.

Eligibility was limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments, indicating the agency intended the project to be led by a tribal entity, likely within or connected to the Walker River watershed. The listing explicitly states there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants would not be required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award. The opportunity was posted on August 12, 2014, with an application closing date of August 22, 2014, and it was archived the day after the closing date (August 23, 2014). That short application window is consistent with targeted or time-sensitive grant announcements, sometimes used when an agency is seeking to fund a specific local effort, a pilot demonstration, or work that aligns with near-term field seasons or partner readiness.

The publicly shown funding fields list an estimated total funding amount of 0 and an award ceiling and floor of 0. In many grants.gov summaries, that can mean the funding amount was to be determined, was not entered into the summary record, or was handled in a way that did not require publication of a specific dollar figure at that time. In practical terms, interested applicants would have needed to rely on the full announcement package (or direct contact with the agency) to confirm anticipated funding levels, allowable costs, the expected period of performance, required deliverables, reporting obligations, and evaluation criteria.

For applicants or stakeholders who needed help accessing the full announcement or clarifying details, the point of contact listed was Misty Summers, Budget Technician/COR, reachable at 775-265-2425 or MistySummers@fws.gov. The listing also includes an additional information link to grants.gov, although the provided URL appears to contain a typo ("hhttp://"), which would need to be corrected to "http://" to work in a browser.
