Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR LC 1 N011
This grant opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, focused on native fish conservation in the Gila River basin area of New Mexico. It is titled "Notice of Intent to Award to New Mexico Department of Game and Fish" and signals the federal governments intent to provide funding to the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish under an existing or ongoing program relationship rather than opening it broadly to multiple applicant types. The work falls under the environmental funding activity category and is tied to CFDA (now Assistance Listing) number 15.517.
The underlying program is the Gila River Basin Native Fishes Conservation Program (GRBNFCP). This program exists to help ensure that actions and operations in the basin align with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biological opinions, which are formal documents that outline how federal activities can proceed while avoiding or minimizing harm to species and habitats covered under federal wildlife protections. Within that context, GRBNFCP has identified specific on-the-ground tasks that need to be carried out to meet both federal biological opinion requirements and New Mexico state fish and wildlife management responsibilities. The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish is positioned as the implementing state agency that can carry out these tasks under state authorities while also directly supporting the GRBNFCPs basin-wide objectives.
The practical conservation activities emphasized in the notice include species repatriations, threat removals, and other related actions intended to stabilize and rebuild native fish populations. Species repatriation generally refers to reestablishing native fish in parts of their historical range where they have declined or disappeared, typically using scientifically managed stocking, translocation, or reintroduction efforts. Threat removal can include a range of measures aimed at reducing factors that limit native fish survival and reproduction, such as addressing nonnative invasive species pressures, improving habitat conditions, reducing barriers to fish movement, or implementing targeted management actions that reduce ongoing risks to sensitive populations. While the notice does not list every individual task, it frames the overall purpose clearly: active management interventions designed to conserve, improve, and enhance the status of native fishes within the New Mexico portion of the Gila River basin.
Administratively, the opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which usually indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. This can mean coordination on planning and priorities, shared oversight, technical collaboration, progress reporting expectations, and alignment with the biological opinions and program goals that the GRBNFCP was created to implement. The opportunity is categorized as a continuation, reinforcing that this is not a new competitive solicitation but an extension or follow-on to existing conservation work.
In terms of funding and anticipated awards, the notice lists an award ceiling of $275,826 and expects to make one award. Eligibility is limited to state governments, and in practice this specific notice is directed to the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish. The opportunity record shows a creation date of August 10, 2017, with an original closing date of August 25, 2017, reflecting the administrative window for processing this continuation action.
Overall, the grant is aimed at supporting state-led, federally coordinated conservation actions that directly improve the outlook for native fish species in the Gila River basin in New Mexico, while ensuring that management actions in the basin remain consistent with the requirements and conservation measures described in U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biological opinions.Apply for BOR LC 1 N011
