| Description:: | The Bureau of Reclamation intends to issue a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), R13AF20026, for grants/cooperative agreements for the following program: The Central Valley Project Conservation Program (CVPCP) and Central Valley Project Improvement Act Habitat Restoration Program (HRP). These programs will improve conditions for species and habitats impacted by the Central Valley Project (CVP), excluding fish. The programs are: 1) protection of species or existing habitats impacted by CVP through the purchase of fee title or conservation easements; 2) restoration of CVP impacted habitats or species populations on lands permanently protected for conservation where restoration actions would markedly improve conditions for impacted species. No funding will be provided for any restoration projects which would result in mitigation credits for the grant recipient; 3) research addressing status and habitat needs to facilitate species recovery; and 4) captive propagation and reintroduction of listed species in order to increase numbers. A list of projects previously funded by the programs can be found on the website at: www.usbr.gov/mp/cvpcp. For FY 2014, land acquisition projects will receive the highest priority for funding. System for Award Management (SAM) applies to this FOA. Prospective recipients must be registered on the SAM database or offeror is ineligible for an award. Information on SAM registration can be obtained via the Internet at http://www.sam.gov. The FOA must be downloaded at the grants.gov website. No paper copy will be distributed.
