The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is inviting initial proposals for grants to conduct cooperative research and management projects focused on Chinook and chum salmon in the U.S. portion of the Yukon River drainage. These funds, authorized by the Yukon River Salmon Act of 2000, aim to enhance the scientific community’s understanding and effective management of these vital salmon species in Alaska. Initial one-year project proposals will be competitively evaluated by the U.S. Section of the Yukon River Panel. Authors of selected proposals will then be asked to submit detailed proposals for final review and potential financial assistance or contractual funding, based on scientific and technical merit and federal requirements.

| Description: | The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) receives funds for implementation of the Yukon River Salmon Agreement reached with Canada in March 2001. The Yukon River Salmon Act of 2000 authorizes funds for implementation of the Agreement including funds for cooperative research and management projects on the Yukon River in Alaska. The Service administers these funds through grant agreements, purchase orders, and contracts on a competitive basis for projects/studies that advance the scientific communitys understanding of and management of Chinook and chum salmon in the Yukon River in Alaska. This is a call for initial project proposals of one year in length. Successful applicants will be asked to submit detailed proposals. 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. |
