Description

The Engineer Research and Development Center is offering a federal grant opportunity titled "National Information Collaboration on Ecohydraulics (NICE): Acoustic Tracking of Fish". This grant aims to address the challenge of obtaining multidimensional high-resolution fish positions near infrastructure, specifically locks and dams. The research will focus on developing new techniques for collecting high-resolution fish tracks near infrastructure, implementing and evaluating real-time tracking, and improving post-processing. The project will take place in the Mississippi River and its tributaries, with a particular focus on future fish passage structures in the middle Mississippi River. The grant does not require cost sharing or matching and is open to non-federal partners of the Great Rivers Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (CESU). The total program funding is $450,000, with an expected number of awards being 1. The deadline for submission is January 18, 2024.

Prediction and Early Identification of Harmful Algal Bloom (HABs) in Riverine Systems
Active
Engineer Research and Development Center
The Engineer Research and Development Center is offering a federal grant opportunity titled "Prediction and Early Identification of Harmful Algal Bloom (HABs) in Riverine Systems". This grant aims to address the impact of aquatic nuisance species, specifically harmful algae, on freshwater lakes and rivers, infrastructure, operations, and associated resources across the nation. Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have resulted in recreational closures, public health concerns, and significant economic impacts. The frequency and duration of HABs are increasing, leading to environmental, socioeconomic, human, and ecological health concerns. The grant seeks cost-effective and scalable technologies for early HAB detection, prediction, and management to reduce their frequency and severity. Riverine HABs, which can span hundreds of miles and last for weeks, are of particular concern due to the significant damages they can cause. The prediction and early identification of riverine HABs are critical to enable effective response and management actions. The grant will establish an interdisciplinary collaboration between the USACE and recipient(s) to accomplish specific objectives. The project will focus on researching scalable and transferable solutions for early HAB detection, developing a systematic approach for monitoring and interpreting monitoring results, demonstrating the approach at a field scale, and preparing a final framework for prediction and early identification of riverine HABs. The grant is open to non-federal partners of the Southern Appalachian Mountains and the Piedmont-South Atlantic Coast Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Units (CESUs). The total program funding is $3,000,000, with an award ceiling of $500,000. The deadline for submission is September 16, 2024. For more information, contact Kisha M.

F24AS00414 Fisheries Restoration and Irrigation Mitigation Act Fiscal Year 2024
Active
Fish and Wildlife Service
The Fish and Wildlife Service is offering a grant opportunity titled "Fisheries Restoration and Irrigation Mitigation Act Fiscal Year 2024" with a funding instrument type of Grant. This grant falls under the category of Natural Resources and is a discretionary opportunity. The grant requires cost sharing or matching and has a CFDA number of 15.685. The eligible applicants for this grant are unrestricted, and the additional information on eligibility states that the activities proposed under this award must be located in the Pacific Ocean drainages of California, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, or Montana. The purpose of this grant is to implement the Fisheries Restoration and Irrigation Mitigation Act (FRIMA) of 2000, which aims to decrease fish mortality associated with water withdrawal for irrigation and other purposes without impairing the continued withdrawal of water. The grant focuses on the voluntary fish screening and passage program in the Pacific Ocean drainage areas of Idaho, western Montana, Oregon, Washington, and now California. The eligible projects include fish screens, fish passage devices, and related inventories by the states. The National Fish Passage Program (NFPP) will administer the grant and provide technical and financial assistance to partners for the development, improvement, or installation of fish screens, fish passage devices, and related features in Pacific Ocean drainages in Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho, and California. The NFPP aims to maintain or increase fish populations, improve ecosystem resiliency, and provide quality fishing experiences. Applicants must ensure that activities occurring outside the United States or its territories are coordinated with appropriate U.S. and foreign government authorities and obtain necessary licenses, permits, or approvals. The grant requires a 35% non-Federal cost share, which can include funding from the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). Project components funded under this grant are ineligible for federal funds from any other source, except for BPA funds, for the same purpose. The award minimum is $100,000, and the maximum is $1,000,000. Non-Federal participants in projects carried out under the program on non-U.S. government-owned land or facilities are responsible for all associated costs. The close date for initial proposals is September 30, 2024, and full financial assistance applications are due by April 30, 2025. For more information, contact John Netto at john_netto@fws.gov.
Improved Harmful Algal Blooms Prediction with Hybrid Models

Engineer Research and Development Center
The Engineer Research and Development Center is offering a federal grant opportunity titled "Improved Harmful Algal Blooms Prediction with Hybrid Models". This grant aims to develop and test a hybrid modeling system that combines watershed, hydrodynamic, and machine learning models to accurately predict harmful algal blooms (HABs) in USACE reservoirs. The goal is to improve the spatial and temporal resolution of HAB predictions and diagnose the causes of HABs in managed reservoirs. The products of this project will include a hybrid modeling system for accurate HAB predictions, identification of HAB drivers, and documentation and training for deployment at additional USACE reservoirs. This opportunity is restricted to non-federal partners of the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (CESU). The grant has an estimated total program funding of $212,770, with an award ceiling of $142,324. The closing date for applications is September 16, 2024. For more information, contact Kisha M.
