Description
The NOAA Open Rivers Initiative (ORI) provides
funding and technical assistance to catalyze the implementation of
locally-driven projects to remove dams and other river barriers, in
order to benefit living marine and coastal resources, particularly
diadromous fish. Projects funded through the Open Rivers Initiative
must feature strong on-the-ground habitat restoration components that
foster economic, educational, and social benefits for citizens and
their communities in addition to long-term ecological habitat
improvements for NOAA trust resources. Proposals selected for funding
through this solicitation will be implemented through a cooperative
agreement. Funding of up to $6,000,000 is expected to be available for
ORI Project Grants in FY 2011. The NOAA Restoration Center within the
Office of Habitat Conservation will administer this grant initiative,
and anticipates that typical awards will range from $200,000 to
$750,000. Although a select few may fall outside of this range, project
proposals requesting less than $100,000 or greater than $3,000,000 will
not be accepted or reviewed.
