Opportunity Summary:
The Yukon River Salmon Studies grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 701818R063) is a discretionary grant posted on June 19, 2008 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, listed under CFDA 15.608 (Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance). Its core purpose is to publicly announce the agency's intent to transfer federal funds to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game so the State can collect and develop information needed to meet United States conservation and management commitments to Canada under the Yukon River Salmon Agreement. That agreement was signed in December 2002 by representatives of the United States and Canada as an annex to the Pacific Salmon Treaty, and it sets expectations for how Canadian-origin Yukon River salmon stocks are conserved and managed, including ensuring appropriate salmon passage to the Canadian border while balancing harvest opportunities in U.S. waters.
The opportunity is grounded in specific federal law. The Yukon River Salmon Act (16 USC 5724) formally identifies the Alaska Department of Fish and Game as the responsible U.S. management entity for any salmon management agreement with Canada involving stocks that originate in the Canadian portion of the Yukon River. In practical terms, this means Alaska is the primary implementer on the U.S. side for gathering the stock information and running the management programs needed to comply with the treaty obligations. A related provision of the same law (16 USC 5727) authorizes funding to the Department of the Interior to obtain the information required for implementation, and those funds are appropriated annually to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to support both the United States' financial obligations under the agreement and the scientific and management work needed to meet conservation and border-passage goals.
In terms of the award structure, the notice anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $400,000 and an award ceiling of $400,000 (award floor listed as $0). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is limited to state governments, consistent with the intent to fund the Alaska Department of Fish and Game as the designated management entity. The application window reflected an original and current closing date of September 30, 2008, with an archive date of October 30, 2008, indicating the opportunity is an older, time-bounded funding notice tied to a specific fiscal year implementation need.
Overall, the grant is not a broad competitive research solicitation as much as it is a formal notice of an intended funds transfer to support treaty implementation. The work being funded centers on improving knowledge of Yukon River salmon stocks, especially Canadian-origin fish that migrate through and are harvested in U.S. waters, so managers can make informed decisions that meet international commitments without unnecessarily reducing U.S. harvests. The listed point of contact for access issues is John DeLapp, Regional Habitat Restoration Coordinator, at 907-786-3925.
