U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2009 Grant Opportunity for Yukon River Salmon Research and Management Projects

The initial project proposals will be evaluated by the U.S. Section of the Yukon River Panel (Panel). Authors of selected initial proposals will be notified by the Service to submit detailed proposals for final review. The Panel reserves the right to ask questions for clarification and conduct negotiations with promising proposal authors prior to final selection. The Panel reserves the right to eliminate from consideration any proposals whose author does not provide clarification in a timely manner, if and when clarification is sought. Panel recommendations on project selections will be forwarded to the Service for consideration of funding. The Service will then develop and award the financial assistance or contractual documents funding the final proposals that meet all federal requirements and for which funding is available.

Currently the source of general funding is appropriated funds directed to the Service. The funds shall be used for cooperative Chinook and chum salmon research and management projects in the portion of the Yukon River drainage located in the United States that are recommended by the Panel after review for scientific and technical merit.
Priority for funding, initial proposal format, and the required content are available online by linking to the full funding announcement opportunity listed below. A “twin” posting of this synopsis can be found on FedBizOpps.gov. It is not necessary to respond to both opportunities, as this request for proposals encompasses submissions in response to both venues.
