Central Valley Project Conservation Program for Fiscal Year 2021 and 2022

The objective of the NOFO is to invite eligible applicants to submit applications for projects that benefit federally listed and other special-status species whose habitats and populations have been impacted by operation of the Central Valley Project (CVP). An additional objective is to ensure the award selection process is in compliance with competition requirements related to federal financial agreements, and to ensure public participation in the Central Valley Project Conservation Program (CVPCP).

Eligible applicants include State or local government agencies, private non-profit or for-profit organizations, individuals, and educational institutions. Applications from parties who have received a federal assistance award in the past may be evaluated based on past performance. At a minimum, this would include how well the applicant, as a previous award recipient, complied with requirements for submitting reports and other requirements in a complete and timely manner; communicated and coordinated on past projects between themselves and the awarding agency; complied with the terms and conditions of the previous grant agreement; and whether the award recipient was responsive to requested information in a timely manner.
