Reviews and recommendations

This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.

REVIEW:
ISRP Preliminary Review (ISRP 2002-13)

Recommendation:
Do not fund - no response required

Date:
Aug 2, 2002

Comment:

Not fundable. This proposal is to coordinate and implement artificial production training programs for members of the Warm Springs, Umatilla, and Nez Perce tribes. The Yakama Nation is submitting a separate proposal for training programs. Training includes community college courses, university courses, short courses and workshops.

The basic tasks of this project are to establish goals and objectives for a training program and to see that students are recruited and the program is implemented. The proposal is brief and does not provide detail as to how these tasks will be accomplished. While the ISRP supports the idea of providing educational opportunities in artificial production to tribal members, we question whether it is necessary to develop custom programs rather than using existing educational programs followed by internships at tribal hatcheries.

The budget is large and does not include explanation of its various components. The project is very heavy with administration costs. For example, the training coordinator is budgeted at more than $100k. What is the reason for this large a budget? The responsibilities of this person are to be a liaison between tribal education programs, colleges and universities, and CRITFC.

REVIEW:
CBFWA Funding Recommendation

Recommendation:
Recommended Action

Date:
Oct 24, 2002

Comment:

Potential for reducing requested budget based on reduced overhead (indirect) calculations for pass-through scholarships. This project would assist in training Tribal members to participate and manage their mitigation hatcheries currently under construction and operation.

ISRP Final Review (ISRP 2002-14)

Recommendation:
Do Not Fund

Comment:

Not fundable, disagree with CBFWA's Recommended Action ranking. This proposal is to coordinate and implement artificial production training programs for members of the Warm Springs, Umatilla, and Nez Perce tribes. The Yakama Nation is submitting a separate proposal for training programs. Training includes community college courses, university courses, short courses and workshops.
