Opportunity Information: Apply for F18AS00077
The Lake Trout Telemetry in Swan Lake opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F18AS00077) is a Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement. It focuses on Swan Lake, Montana, where an invasion of lake trout has coincided with a sharp decline in the native bull trout population. Bull trout in this system are ESA-listed, and the notice frames the situation as urgent: without targeted action, the bull trout population in this important core recovery area could continue to decline over the long term and may ultimately be extirpated. Because Swan Lake is part of a broader ecosystem that includes the Swan River National Wildlife Refuge, the anticipated benefits of the work extend beyond a single species and are tied to overall ecosystem management and recovery planning.
The core purpose of the project is research and applied mapping aimed at understanding lake trout reproduction in Swan Lake, specifically by identifying and precisely mapping the primary lake trout spawning sites. The grant emphasizes that knowing where and under what conditions lake trout spawn is a practical prerequisite for designing effective management responses. By improving the precision and completeness of spawning-site information, managers can better target suppression or control strategies, evaluate risks to bull trout, and integrate findings into larger bull trout recovery efforts.
Two main objectives drive the proposed work. First, the project will refine lake trout spawning locations that were identified in previous studies, implying that earlier work exists but needs higher resolution, confirmation, or expansion. Second, the project will quantify habitat characteristics at those spawning locations and produce a digital map compiling all known spawning sites. In practical terms, this means the effort is not limited to locating spawning areas; it also aims to document the physical habitat features associated with spawning and to deliver GIS-ready products that agencies can use for ongoing monitoring and management decisions.
Administratively, the notice indicates the government intended to make a single expected award with a ceiling of $136,590. The opportunity was issued on February 2, 2018, with an original closing date of February 9, 2018, reflecting a short application window consistent with a targeted action. Eligibility is described broadly in the listing as "Others," but the notice is explicitly a single-source notice of intent to award through the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Network to Montana State University, citing DOI policy for single-source cooperative agreements based on unique qualifications. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.678, linking it to the federal assistance cataloging system used for DOI and Fish and Wildlife Service financial assistance programs.Apply for F18AS00077
