Project Grant F24AP02081
- The University of Idaho received a $199,860 Project Grant award from the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service under the National Fish Habitat Partnership (CFDA 15.686) program, effective June 16, 2025, through June 15, 2026. The project develops a molecular-based epigenetic analysis method to determine Pacific lamprey sex and maturation status. This research addresses a critical management need in the Columbia River Basin, where understanding whether lamprey will follow...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service awarded $151,084.84 to the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission (CRITFC) under the National Fish Habitat Partnership (NFHP) program (CFDA 15.686) to establish a Tribal Engagement and Outreach Relations Coordinator position. This award, effective May 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026, addresses the Pacific Lamprey Conservation Initiative's (PLCI) objective of increasing awareness regarding Pacific...
- The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service awarded a $150,000 Project Grant to the Nez Perce Tribe under the National Fish Passage Program (CFDA 15.685) to fund the design and implementation of an additional partial fish passage at the Wilson and Dorrance diversion locations on the Wallowa River. This project aims to restore aquatic organism passage and connectivity, enabling access to 10 miles of critical spawning, rearing, and foraging habitat for species such as spring Chinook salmon, coho salmon,...
- The federal Cooperative Agreement award from the Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service, under the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA) program (CFDA 15.648), provides $117,500.00 to CAL Poly Humboldt Sponsored Programs Foundation (HSU Foundation) to utilize environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques to improve the understanding of juvenile Chinook salmon rearing patterns in the Sacramento River system. By analyzing filtered water samples using quantitative PCR assays, the...
- This $782,754 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research effort to study the environmental factors influencing the fate and transport of environmental DNA (eDNA) in U.S. streams, particularly those within the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON). The project, titled "DISTANCE: Determining Instream Transport of eDNA Across NEON Sites at the Continental Scale," will leverage NEON...
- This $418,390 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports collaborative research to study the environmental factors that promote or inhibit the transport and degradation of environmental DNA (eDNA) in U.S. streams, especially those part of the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON). The research team based at the University of Alabama will conduct eDNA spiraling experiments at NEON stream sites to determine how factors...
- This federal Project Grant award under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Pacific Coast Salmon Recovery Pacific Salmon Treaty Program (CFDA 11.438) is intended to gather baseline data to inform the feasibility of salmon reintroduction upstream of Chief Joseph and Grand Coulee Dams. The $700,000 award, made on September 1, 2024, will support the Coeur D'Alene Tribe in conducting several key research objectives, including: Estimating survival and travel time of juvenile...
- This Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund (CFDA 15.615) program, supports efforts to restore the genetic integrity of the Lahontan cutthroat trout (LCT) population at Independence Lake in California. The $283,540 award, with a performance period from January 2025 to January 2028, will fund a program to selectively remove non-native rainbow trout (RT) and LCT-RT hybrids from Independence Lake and its...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $240,000 in funding over 3 years beginning September 1, 2024. The award supports a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the relationships between environmental nucleic acids (RNA and DNA) and aquatic organism abundance in streams and rivers. The research aims to determine if environmental RNA (eRNA) is a more accurate indicator of organism presence and population size compared to...
- This five-year, $19.285 million project grant from the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, under the Pacific Coast Salmon Recovery Pacific Salmon Treaty Program (CFDA #11.438), provides funding to the Idaho Species Conservation Office to support habitat restoration and monitoring projects benefitting endangered salmonids in Idaho. The award period is July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2027. Through multiple subawards, key activities include designing and implementing...
THE NEZ PERCE TRIBE HAS BEEN ACTIVELY TRANSLOCATING ADULT PACIFIC LAMPREYS INTO SELECT SUBWATERSHEDS IN THE POTLATCH RIVER IN IDAHO AS PART OF THEIR SUPPLEMENTAL PROGRAM BUT LITTLE IS KNOWN ABOUT THE DISTRIBUTION OF POST RELEASE ADULTS OR THEIR SUBSEQUENT OFFSPRING. THERE IS A NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE DISTRIBUTION OF PACIFIC LAMPREYS WITHIN THESE SELECT SUBWATERSHEDS ALONG WITH THEIR PRESENCE OR ABSENCE IN HISTORICALLY OCCUPIED STREAMS. TO ADDRESS THIS NEED THE LATAH SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT WILL COLLECT AND ANALYZE APPROXIMATELY 50 ENVIRONMENTAL DNA (EDNA) SAMPLES FOR PACIFIC LAMPREY.THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO UNDERSTAND THE SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION AND TRIBUTARY USE OF LAMPREYS FROM TRANSLOCATION EFFORTS. IDENTIFYING STREAM SECTIONS WHERE LAMPREYS ARE PRESENT WILL HELP INFORM AND GUIDE ONGOING RESTORATION EFFORTS TO INCORPORATE ACTIONS THAT MINIMIZE NEGATIVE IMPACTS AND BENEFIT LAMPREY HABITAT.
