2019 Call for Proposals

The 2019 RFP Now Open!  

Deadline to Apply September 28, 2018

Funding for the habitat projects through the National Fish Habitat Board and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is expected summer 2019. Successful applicants will be notified after funding is allotted.

 

The Desert Fish Habitat Partnership (DFHP) and our partners are proud to announce our 2019 request for project proposals. As one of 20 federally recognized National Fish Habitat Partnerships, DFHP is a collaborative effort between 11 western states, federal agencies, sovereign tribes, and private conservation groups that seek to cooperatively conserve native desert fish species by protecting, restoring, and enhancing aquatic ecosystems across their historic range. While DFHP is supported by several different entities and partners, project funding is made available to grantees annually through the National Fish Habitat Partnership (NFHP) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

 

Eligible Projects: Projects considered for funding may include science-based voluntary and non-regulatory habitat protection, restoration, and enhancement activities to benefit desert native fish species addressed by DFHP (for a complete species list, visit the DFHP Strategic Plan by clicking here). Types of eligible activities may include riparian or in-stream habitat, protection, enhancement, and restoration. Examples are: barrier removal or construction; range-wide population or watershed habitat assessments needed for prioritization and planning of habitat conservation and evaluation; assessment, collection, and information required for in-stream flow or lake water level quantification, protection and restoration;, and habitat-related community outreach and education actions. NFHP funds can only be used for on-the-ground habitat projects and related design and monitoring activities; funds may not be used for acquisition in fee or easement, research, or solely to support personnel and staff salaries or benefits. Funded projects must be completed within 18-36 months of receipt of contract agreement. Multi-year projects MUST be broken into distinct phases by year for tasks, accomplishments, and budget.
