Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR MP 17 N004
The "6-year Steelhead Telemetry Study Analysis and Reporting" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BOR MP 17 N004) is a Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation notice of intent to make a single cooperative agreement award to the University of Washington. It falls under CFDA 15.517 and is tied to federal fish and wildlife authorities, including Public Law 85-624 and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (Section 7(a)). The program area is environmental work focused on fish monitoring and related analysis, and the eligible applicant category listed is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. Importantly, the announcement is explicitly not a competitive solicitation; it is a notice that Reclamation plans to proceed with this award without competition under an internal policy basis (Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, 2.14(B)(4)), and the decision not to compete is stated to be solely at the government’s discretion.
The project itself centers on analyzing and reporting results from a multi-year acoustic telemetry effort involving steelhead, connected to the broader "Operations of the Central Valley Project and State Water Project" (OCAP) study. In practical terms, the work is about taking several years of acoustic-tag data, finalizing or completing the study design elements where needed, conducting statistical and multi-year analyses, and producing formal technical reporting that summarizes what the annual experiments found. The objectives are laid out in three parts: first, to complete the design and analysis of the acoustic-tag investigations associated with the 6-year OCAP study; second, to perform annual analyses of tagging databases covering 2011 through 2016, along with a focused multi-year analysis using the 2014 to 2016 dataset; and third, to prepare technical reports that summarize the annual experiments conducted between 2014 and 2016. Overall, the emphasis is much more on rigorous analysis, synthesis across years, and documentation of findings than on launching new field deployment, since the objectives revolve around databases, study design completion, and reporting.
Financially, Reclamation lists an estimated total agreement value of $422,763, with $150,356 identified as the amount Reclamation is providing in Fiscal Year 2017. The announcement anticipates one award (Expected Awards: 1) and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically implies substantial federal involvement or collaboration during the project period compared with a standard grant. The notice was created on December 23, 2016, and shows an original closing date of January 6, 2017, reflecting the administrative timeline for the notice rather than an open call for proposals.
For administrative follow-up, the point of contact named in the announcement is Megan Bryant, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by email at mbryant@usbr.gov. The notice also references the related Notice of Intent to Award Announcement No. BOR-MP-17-N004 for additional details, reinforcing that this posting is primarily informational and intended to document the government’s plan to fund a specific partner to complete analysis and reporting for the 6-year steelhead telemetry study.Apply for BOR MP 17 N004
