Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00373
This grant opportunity, titled "Hydroacoustic Survey of Bighead and Silver Carp in the Ohio River" (Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00373), is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Department of the Interior) discretionary funding action in the environment and natural resources category (CFDA 15.608). The project is designed to measure the relative abundance and estimated biomass of two invasive species, bighead carp and silver carp, in the Ohio River. The work will rely on side-looking hydroacoustic survey methods, which use sonar-style acoustic equipment to detect and characterize fish in the water column and nearshore areas, allowing researchers to cover large river sections more efficiently than many traditional netting approaches.
The surveys will be conducted across both mainstem and tributary habitats within several named Ohio River navigation pools: Cannelton, McAlpine, Markland, Greenup, Meldahl, and R.C. Byrd. Data collected through these hydroacoustic runs will be analyzed jointly by Southern Illinois University - Carbondale (SIUC) and the Fish and Wildlife Service. The interpretation of hydroacoustic results will also be informed by existing, annual pool-specific fish community monitoring data gathered by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources using traditional sampling gears. In practical terms, that means the hydroacoustic dataset is not intended to stand alone; it will be viewed alongside established fisheries monitoring information to provide better context for understanding carp presence and trends in each pool.
This notice is not a competitive funding announcement and does not include an application process. Instead, it is a formal notice of intent to make a single-source cooperative agreement award to SIUC, with an expected single award and an award ceiling of $40,011. The single-source approach is justified under 505 DM 2.14.B.4, with the agency stating that competition is not practical because the effort is an extension of work SIUC has already been performing. SIUC is described as uniquely positioned to continue the project because it has eight years of experience developing and delivering the hydroacoustic survey method used here, already owns the required equipment and specialized software needed to implement the work end-to-end, and is located near the relevant Fish and Wildlife conservation office, which reduces travel burdens and supports efficient field coordination.
Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, the Fish and Wildlife Service will be substantially involved in carrying out the project rather than acting only as a pass-through funder. The Service role will include participating in the cooperative hydroacoustic field surveys on the Ohio River, conducting hydroacoustic data analysis and reviewing analyses completed by SIUC, compiling relevant prior datasets and helping prepare management-focused reports, and jointly presenting findings to state agencies and other partners. The opportunity was created on September 12, 2019, with an original closing date of September 18, 2019, reflecting that it functions primarily as a public notice of the agency's intent to fund a specific partner for continuity and technical capability reasons.Apply for F19AS00373
