Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00023
This discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) focuses on funding a computer simulation study that examines how outflow influences the temperature of the low salinity zone in the San Francisco Bay-Delta (often referred to as the Delta). In practical terms, the project is meant to use modeling and simulation tools to evaluate the relationship between freshwater outflow conditions and resulting temperature patterns in the low salinity zone, a key habitat area where salinity levels are neither fully freshwater nor fully marine. Because temperature is a major driver of aquatic habitat quality and species performance, the intent is to generate analysis that can inform management or scientific understanding of how changing flow conditions may alter thermal conditions in this ecologically important part of the estuary.
The award was offered as a grant under a Natural Resources funding activity category, and it was issued under the authority of the Fish and Wildlife Act (16 U.S.C. 742 et seq.), which provides FWS broad authority to support work that benefits fish and wildlife resources. The opportunity was labeled as discretionary, meaning awards would be made based on agency selection criteria and program priorities rather than by formula distribution. The federal assistance listing (CFDA) associated with the opportunity is 15.664, which aligns with fish and wildlife-related assistance administered by FWS.
Eligibility for this opportunity was limited to for-profit organizations that are not small businesses, and to small businesses. That indicates the agency expected potential applicants to include private-sector entities with the capability to perform specialized simulation and modeling work, such as environmental consulting firms, engineering or scientific modeling companies, or other commercial organizations with technical expertise in hydrodynamic and temperature modeling for estuarine systems.
Key administrative details show the opportunity number as F19AS00023. The posting (creation) date was March 19, 2019, and the original closing date was March 29, 2019, reflecting a short application window of about ten days. The maximum possible award amount (award ceiling) was $129,897. The listing shows expected awards as 0, which typically signals that the agency did not pre-commit to a specific number of awards in the public posting, or that the number was not determined at the time the notice was compiled, rather than guaranteeing no awards would be made.
Overall, the grant was designed to support a targeted, model-based investigation into how outflow conditions affect temperature within the Delta's low salinity zone, providing results that could support fisheries and habitat management decisions, scenario planning, or scientific assessment efforts relevant to the San Francisco Bay-Delta ecosystem.Apply for F19AS00023

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is this grant opportunity about?
This discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is focused on funding a computer simulation and modeling study. The study examines how freshwater outflow influences the temperature of the low salinity zone in the San Francisco Bay-Delta (often called the Delta).
What is the main purpose of the funded project?
The purpose is to use modeling and simulation tools to evaluate the relationship between freshwater outflow conditions and the resulting temperature patterns in the low salinity zone. Because temperature strongly affects aquatic habitat quality and species performance, the results are intended to inform management and scientific understanding of how changes in flow conditions may alter thermal conditions in this ecologically important part of the estuary.
What specific topic does the study need to analyze?
The study is intended to analyze how outflow affects the temperature of the Delta's low salinity zone using computer simulation methods. In other words, it is a model-based investigation of temperature outcomes under different freshwater outflow conditions.
What is the "low salinity zone" referenced in the opportunity?
The low salinity zone is a habitat area in the San Francisco Bay-Delta where salinity levels are neither fully freshwater nor fully marine. The opportunity highlights it as a key habitat zone within the estuary.
Why is temperature a focus of this grant?
The opportunity notes that temperature is a major driver of aquatic habitat quality and species performance. The project is meant to clarify how flow-driven changes could shift thermal conditions in the low salinity zone.
Which agency is offering this grant?
The grant opportunity is offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS).
Is this a discretionary or formula grant?
