Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR PN 18 N029
The Bull Trout Population Management Restoration and Monitoring Project is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region, focused on natural resource work tied to bull trout conservation. The project is designed around on-the-ground population management and long-term monitoring, with the overarching aim of stabilizing and increasing bull trout numbers while aligning those actions with related habitat restoration efforts. In practice, it emphasizes both direct intervention with fish populations and careful tracking of outcomes over time so managers can see whether the actions are working and adjust as needed.
A central feature of this opportunity is that it leverages the Yakama Nation's established technical capacity and past success in fisheries management. The description highlights the Nation's experience across multiple species and program types, including fish salvage, captive rearing, reintroduction, and population study and monitoring for species such as steelhead, spring Chinook, coho, sockeye, and lamprey. Building on that background, the funded work under this agreement is intended to have the Yakama Nation manage, implement, and monitor a suite of bull trout population management actions. Those actions can include salvage operations, captive rearing, translocation, and reintroduction, among other supportive measures that help maintain or rebuild local populations, especially where fish may be vulnerable due to environmental conditions, barriers, or other pressures.
The purpose of the funding is not limited to moving fish or increasing counts in the short term. The opportunity explicitly ties population management to broader restoration strategy by calling for coordination with habitat restoration projects, recognizing that bull trout recovery typically depends on both healthy habitat and well-managed populations. Alongside implementation, the project places weight on monitoring population trends to determine results, meaning applicants or implementers are expected to collect and interpret data that shows how bull trout populations respond to the interventions. This results-oriented framing suggests an emphasis on measurable outcomes, adaptive management, and a clear connection between actions taken and biological response.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number BOR PN 18 N029 and CFDA 15.517. It is structured as a grant with an award ceiling of $350,000 and an expectation of one award, indicating a single, relatively focused project agreement rather than a broad multi-recipient program. Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments, which aligns with the project narrative centering on the Yakama Nation's role and capabilities. The opportunity was created on August 17, 2018, with an original closing date of August 31, 2018, reflecting a short application window typical of targeted or time-sensitive discretionary funding announcements.Apply for BOR PN 18 N029
