The San Juan River Basin Recovery Implementation Program (Recovery Program) was established in 1991 to allow water development to continue within the Basin while still complying with the Endangered Species Act and protecting the endangered Colorado pikeminnow and razorback sucker. The Recovery Program consists of partners who are committed to the recovery of the listed fishes under the Endangered Species Act and includes water users, conservation groups, state, federal and tribal agencies. For further information on the Recovery Program, see https://coloradoriverrecovery.org/sj/. The San Juan River is partially regulated by Navajo Dam. There are several tributaries that flow into the San Juan River between the dam and Lake Powell, but substantial diversions occur from these tributaries limiting the contribution to the flow regime. Operation of Navajo Dam began in 1962 and has resulted in altered flow into the San Juan River with a tendency towards reduced spring flows in some years and supplemented flows in other seasons. Because frequency and magnitudes of flows are important triggers for various life cycle stages of endangered species, the Recovery Program developed flow recommendations to guide releases from Navajo Dam. The flow recommendations are designed to meet the conditions required to develop and maintain habitat for Colorado pikeminnow and razorback sucker and provide the necessary hydrologic conditions for the various life stages of endangered and other native fishes. The habitat monitoring that is part of this project will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of flow recommendations and management actions on habitat. Since 1992, aerial imagery has been collected along the San Juan River between the confluence of the Animas River (River Mile (RM) 180) and the inflow of Lake Powell (the interface between the San Juan River and Lake Powell) to as far downriver as Neskahi Canyon (RM -30). A light detection and ranging (LiDAR) flight was conducted in 2013. The imagery is used within the Recovery Program to track changes in channel morphology and habitat. Specifically, the number and area of low velocity habitat (backwaters, Notice of Funding Opportunity No. R24AS00327 2 embayments), total wetted area (wetted habitat and wetted channels of the river), and island complexes (used as a surrogate for habitat complexity) are quantified (Table 1). This extensive data set allows for tracking changes in habitat and assessing the effectiveness of management actions, implemented flows, and intra- and inter-annual variability in flows. The last analysis was conducted in 2022.

This funding opportunity provides financial support to nonprofit and public organizations to deliver comprehensive primary health care services to underserved communities across the United States and its territories.

Program DescriptionProgram PurposeThis funding opportunity is for the Interventional Cooperative Agreement Program (ICAP). Through the ICAP, SSA collaborates with States, foundations, and other non-federal groups and organizations who have the interest and ability to identify, operate, partially fund, and evaluate interventional research related to the Disability Insurance (DI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs. The research and interventions under this program will target five priority topics, listed below.SSA intends the projects to have a project period of up to 5 years, with the first year used to put any necessary data agreements into place, gather all documentation necessary to apply for Authority to Operate (ATO) from SSAs Office of Information Security, gain approval from the Office of Management and Budget for any information collection activities, and conduct any other implementation planning activities. SSA will only release the majority of project funding once they determine that the project has or will meet all necessary milestones required for implementation. If the project is able to meet these milestones in the first year, funding will be continued to field and evaluate the project for up to four years.Priority Topics of InterestProposals must address goals under at least one of the following priority topics. Proposals should identify the priority topic(s) the proposed intervention(s) will address and explain how the intervention would address the priority topic(s). Eliminating the structural barriers in the labor market for people with disabilities and other underserved communities. Promoting self-sufficiency by helping people enter, stay in, or return to the labor force, including transition-age youth. Coordinating planning between private and public human services agencies to improve the administration and effectiveness the DI, SSI, and related programs. Assisting claimants in underserved communities apply for or appeal decisions on claims for DI and SSI benefits; and Conducting outreach to people with disabilities who are potentially eligible to receive SSI.II. Award InformationType of AwardSSA expects to award up to 3 awards of up to $3 million (each) in cooperative agreements, up to $9 million total, under this request for applications (RFA). The total amount awarded, and the number of awards will be determined based on the strength of the applications received and programmatic and budgetary considerations. SSA reserves the right to determine the number of awards, make no awards, or to make awards for amounts less than the amounts requested by the applicants. However, applicants should not request more than $3 million in ICAP funding.Cooperative agreements require close cooperation and coordination between SSA and the awardees. SSA will have substantial involvement in the administration of the cooperative agreement, and SSAs input and approval is required before conducting most activities.Award Amount and Period of PerformanceSSA may fund interventions for up to 5 years with a total of up to $3 million over the 5-year project period. Applicants may not apply for more than the ceiling of $3 million from SSA for each project. There is no minimum award, and grant proposals with a $0 budget are acceptable.The start date will be no later than September 30, 2024. Applications must include a project timeline in the project narrative that must be for at least three years, up to a maximum of five years. All projects will start with one base year with the option to fund the remaining years. The one-year base period of each cooperative agreement will support the development of data sharing agreements, project planning, evaluation design, and other administrative aspects of the agreement. If the necessary agreements and other planning and administrative aspects are in place at the end of the first year or sooner and the planning process justifies it as an evaluable project, as determined by SSA, cooperative agreements may be extended for the remaining proposed project period (up to four additional years) during which the recipient will implement and evaluate the intervention. SSA may not extend for the remaining proposed project period after the one-year base period if SSA determines that the planning process doesnt justify it as an evaluable project (for example, if the necessary agreements and other planning and administrative aspects are not in place at the end of the base year.)
