Puget Sound Partnership (PSP) Request for Information (RFI)
Funding Opportunity – Salmon Science Investigations
Announcement:
The Puget Sound Partnership is pleased to announce a Salmon Science Investigations Request for Information for collaborative proposals to conduct studies that support regional salmon recovery. Projects should advance progress towards self-sustaining, harvestable salmon populations that uphold Tribal treaty rights and support thriving communities and ecosystems in Puget Sound.
We intend to award up to $3,000,000 during the 2025-2027 biennium depending on funding availability. We anticipate supporting 6-15 projects with a minimum budget of $100,000 each. Projects are expected to begin in July 2025 and continue through June 30, 2027.
Project proposals must align with one or more information need categories:
- Relationships between salmonid populations, recovery actions, and salmonid habitat quality or quantity
- Marine survival and marine food webs
- Salmon production potential across landscapes and habitats
- Human dimensions of salmon recovery
As an implementing agency of Washington State’s Healthy Environment for All Act, the Partnership encourages respondents to submit proposals that address one or more cross-cutting principles of 1. environmental justice and 2. Indigenous knowledge and multiple ways of knowing.
Responses are due by 12:00 pm on March 10, 2025. Please see the full announcement for additional details about the proposal requirements, how to apply, and the information needs. Questions should be directed to pspcontracts@psp.wa.gov during two Question-and-Answer periods or asked during the webinar.
