Opportunity Summary:
The WDFW Monitoring Evaluations grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00009) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan (CFDA 15.661). Its purpose is to fund the development and implementation of a monitoring and evaluation program focused on fish releases in the lower Snake River, specifically at Lower Snake River Compensation Plan (LSRCP) facilities located in Washington State. At its core, the project is meant to generate credible, usable information on how well released fish survive and how they contribute to harvest, which are key measures for judging whether hatchery production and release strategies are meeting program goals.
The scope described centers on building a structured program that can measure two main outcomes: survival and harvest of released fish. In practical terms, this typically means establishing monitoring methods that can track fish after release, estimate survival over relevant time periods or life stages, and quantify how many of those fish are later caught in fisheries. While the announcement text is brief, the intent is clear: the award supports a systematic evaluation effort tied to LSRCP operations on the lower Snake River in Washington, helping managers understand performance and make better-informed decisions about stocking, release timing, rearing practices, and related fisheries management actions.
Funding is fixed and highly targeted. The estimated total funding amount is $838,553, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also listed as $838,553, indicating a single anticipated award at that exact level rather than a range of possible award sizes. Only one award is expected. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the grant.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, which in practice points to an award intended for a Washington state agency such as the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), consistent with the opportunity title. The activity category is Natural Resources, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development, reflecting that the work is research-and-monitoring oriented rather than infrastructure construction or general operations.
Key dates show this was a time-limited opportunity from 2013: it was posted and created on October 22, 2013, with an original and current closing date of November 5, 2013, and it was archived on November 22, 2013. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for the full announcement and application materials. For help accessing the announcement, the contact listed is Margaret Anderson at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (208-378-5299, MargaretMAnderson@fws.gov).
