Opportunity Summary:
The Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve Harvest Surveys opportunity (Funding Announcement Number P16AS00290) is a National Park Service notice of intent to award, not an open call for proposals. In other words, the announcement is meant to inform the public that the Department of the Interior, National Park Service plans to fund a specific set of activities without full and open competition, and applications from other organizations will not be accepted. The planned recipient is the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG), Division of Subsistence, with Caroline Brown listed as the principal investigator/program manager. The award is expected to be issued as a cooperative agreement under statutory authority 54 USC 100703 through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) framework, specifically as a CESU task agreement under an existing master cooperative agreement (P16AC00003). The CFDA listing is 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, CESU). The anticipated federal funding amount is $120,812 with no cost share requirement, and the period of performance is planned for July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2019. While the broader posting references an award ceiling of $326,000 and one expected award, the project abstract identifies the anticipated amount for this specific award as $120,812.
The core purpose of the project is to generate current, community-level data on subsistence and other wild resource use connected to the Yukon-Charley Rivers region. The project is designed to document what resources local residents harvest, how those harvests are produced and shared through distribution networks, and how these activities fit into household and local economic conditions. The specific target communities are Circle, Central, Eagle, and Eagle Village, and the work is described as contingent on community approval. The overall intent is to produce information that can be used directly by Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve, the State of Alaska, and the Federal Subsistence Board when making resource management and subsistence-related decisions.
The work plan centers on a comprehensive household harvest survey and the processing and analysis of the resulting data. ADFG and NPS will first collaborate on developing the questionnaire and related data-collection materials. Following that, the survey will be administered to all households in the participating communities to capture subsistence harvest levels, patterns of distribution and sharing, and relevant economic activities. After fieldwork, ADFG will code survey responses, prepare the dataset for analysis, and deliver integrated SPSS files to NPS. ADFG will also conduct preliminary and comparative analyses, including looking at changes over time in demographics, income, and harvest levels, and cross-sectional analysis examining how factors like household composition, income, employment, ethnicity, and similar variables influence harvest and distribution patterns. The survey results will also be entered into ADFG's Community Subsistence Information System to ensure the information becomes part of the longer-term statewide subsistence data infrastructure.
Deliverables and on-the-ground tasks are spelled out in detail and reflect the cooperative nature of the agreement. ADFG's responsibilities include introducing the project to the communities through meetings, developing the survey instruments and maps used in data collection, training local researchers in survey methods, conducting the interviews in coordination with NPS, coding and entering survey data, cleaning the dataset with validation checks, producing descriptive statistics, and convening a community meeting to review draft findings before finalizing the report. The final written product is a technical report developed collaboratively by ADFG and NPS that presents preliminary analyses along with the social, economic, and regional context needed to interpret community findings. NPS is expected to have substantial involvement rather than acting only as a funder; key NPS duties include meeting with federally recognized tribal councils in each community to seek support, partnering on survey development, securing Office of Management and Budget approval for the survey (a requirement for federally sponsored information collections), assisting with survey interviews as needed, and participating in report writing.
