Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement - National Information Collaboration on Ecohydraulics (NICE): Acoustic Tracking of Fish - is cataloged under number W81EWF-24-SOI-0006 and tied to CFDA assistance listing 12.630, posted by Engineer Research and Development Center. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as closed, first posted on November 17, 2023. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a cooperative agreement.
Award economics. The award range on file is Up to $450,000. The agency has projected $450,000 in total estimated funding for this announcement. It expects to issue 1 award. If the agency funds the expected 1 award from the $450,000 estimated pool, the average award works out to roughly $450,000. Cost sharing is not required, so applicants do not need to commit matching funds to be competitive on this opportunity. Federal award ranges are often upper bounds; actual allocations reflect program appropriations, the strength of the applicant pool, and the evaluation committee's scoring.
Deadline and action path. This opportunity closed on January 18, 2024. Future funding cycles may be published under the same CFDA number, so monitoring the parent program page is the most reliable way to catch re-announcements. Every Grants.gov submission requires an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID. Review the Eligibility section below carefully, federal eligibility categories (nonprofit, state or local government, tribal, individual, educational institution, small business) have distinct registration and reporting requirements. Pre-application outreach to the listed agency contact is permitted and often welcomed, it helps clarify scope and scoring priorities. Before acting on the deadline or award figures above, verify them directly on the official Grants.gov listing, amendments can change dates and amounts after this page was last refreshed.

Description
“THIS IS A 2 PHASE APPROACH. SOI DUE: 18 December 2023 FULL PROPOSAL DUE: 18 January 2024 There are many locks and dams, navigation channels, and increasingly beneficial sediment-use sites across the Mississippi watershed and throughout the United States. Interest is high in understanding navigation impacts on fisheries and how navigation infrastructure can be used to manage fisheries in the role of navigation. Currently, fisheries impacts are often not explicitly accounted for in lock and dam operations. For example, nearly all dams in the Mississippi Basin and southeastern United States are, by and large, not designed to accommodate fish passage for native fish. Moreover, many of these dams are now being viewed as possible components for control and management of aquatic nuisance species. Some native fishes are now protected under provisions of the Endangered Species Act further heightening interest in the possible influence of locks and dams on fish movement. A primary challenge of the proposed work is to develop strategies that allow fish movement past locks and dams while not impacting navigation operations. The National Information Collaboration for Ecohydraulics (NICE) has been established with the mission of applying ecohydraulic principles to navigation infrastructure at multiple scales and facilitating accurate engineering forecasts of fisheries outcomes based on research and development for multiple contexts. Program Description/Objective: (brief description of the anticipated work) The aim of this research is to address the challenge of obtaining multidimensional high-resolution fish positions near infrastructure. Locks and dams are often hydraulically energetic making the use of current acoustic tracking difficult or impossible. These data sets are viewed as critical missing elements in understanding fish movement near infrastructure. This limits the design possibilities for implementing effective passage, mitigation, or management at locks and dams. This project will develop new techniques that allow the collection of high-resolution fish tracks near infrastructure, the implementation and evaluation of real-time tracking, and improved post-processing. Multiple species, both native and non-native, require data. Field sites will be in the Mississippi River and its tributaries with a particular focus on application to future fish passage structures in the middle Mississippi River.
