Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR PN 18 N009
The "Grande Ronde Basin Coordination and Planning of Fish Habitat Improvement Projects" opportunity is a discretionary federal grant administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, under CFDA 15.517. It was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the Bureau of Reclamation expected to remain actively involved with the recipient during planning and implementation rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The solicitation was created on February 13, 2018, with an original application deadline of February 27, 2018, indicating a relatively short window for proposals.
The project focus is fish habitat improvement planning and coordination in the Grande Ronde Sub-basin, with particular emphasis on the Catherine Creek Drainage. The core intent is to move habitat conditions in a direction that supports healthier fish populations by improving several key stream and river functions: habitat complexity (for example, adding or restoring features that create diverse flow patterns and shelter), connectivity (ensuring aquatic habitats are linked so fish can move among spawning, rearing, and refuge areas), instream flow (supporting adequate water quantity and timing in the channel), and passage conditions (reducing or eliminating barriers that prevent fish from reaching important habitats). In practical terms, the funding is meant to support the coordinated development of projects that can later be constructed or implemented on the ground, with an emphasis on work areas that have already been prioritized.
A central feature of the opportunity is that project actions are to be guided by an established, ongoing expert panel process and by technical studies already completed in the basin, specifically Tributary and Reach Assessments conducted in recent years. Rather than funding isolated or ad hoc restoration ideas, the grant is designed to reinforce a structured decision-making pathway where local and regional technical input, existing assessments, and basin-wide coordination collectively determine which projects are designed, refined, and advanced. The description also highlights continuing coordination efforts across the basin so that any resulting constructed projects are more likely to produce measurable, desired outcomes instead of fragmented improvements.
The Bureau of Reclamation and USWCD are described as already working cooperatively under an existing agreement to identify and develop projects. This signals that the opportunity is closely tied to ongoing interagency or partner collaboration and that the cooperative agreement structure will likely support joint planning, shared technical direction, and alignment with broader basin restoration priorities. While eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), it is still subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full opportunity text, which is typical for federal solicitations even when broadly open.
In funding terms, the opportunity anticipated a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an award ceiling of $935,678. That combination suggests the Bureau of Reclamation intended to fund one main recipient or lead organization to coordinate and plan the targeted suite of habitat improvement efforts across the prioritized areas, rather than splitting the funds among multiple independent applicants. Overall, the grant is best understood as a focused investment in coordinated, assessment-driven planning and project development aimed at improving fish habitat conditions in a specific, high-priority portion of the Grande Ronde Basin.Apply for BOR PN 18 N009
