About this opportunity

The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are seeking applications from non-federal parties for grants or cooperative agreements through the Central Valley Project Conservation and Habitat Restoration Program (CVPCP and HRP). The purpose is to fund projects that protect, restore, and enhance special-status species and their habitats impacted by the Central Valley Project. Priority will be given to efforts focused on land protection, habitat restoration, research, and captive propagation/reintroduction for federally listed threatened and endangered species. Applications will be evaluated based on criteria such as species benefits, project urgency, technical merit, and alignment with administration priorities. The deadline to submit applications is December 10, 2024.

Approximately $4.8 million in total funding is available, with a maximum award of $1 million. Recent federal grant awards under the Central Valley Project Conservation Program (CFDA 15.564) have ranged from $100,000 to over $2.8 million. Eligible applicants include state/local governments, nonprofits, tribes, and individuals. Projects are expected to primarily take place within California.

Synopsis

The purpose of this NOFO is to solicit applications from non-federal parties to which the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) will issue awards of grants or cooperative agreements through the CVPCP, CVPIA and the HRP. The CVPCP and HRP implement actions intended to protect, restore, and enhance special-status species (excluding fish) and their habitats that have been affected by the operation of the Central Valley Project (CVP) and implementation of the CVPIA, with a special emphasis on federally listed species. The main objectives of the programs are to: (1) protect and restore native habitats impacted by the CVP, (2) stabilize and improve populations of native species impacted by the CVP, and (3) assist with the recovery of federally and state-listed species whose populations have been impacted by the CVP.
