Reviews and recommendations

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

Recommendation:
Fund for one year
Date:
Jun 15, 1999

Comment:

Recommendation: Fund for one year. Subsequent funding contingent on programmatic review. This entire set of smolt monitoring projects needs to receive a programmatic review with one of the goals to create a central data repository that includes historical and raw data. They also need to develop a justifiable program-wide design. The various regional data sets should be consolidated with specific protocols for quality control and data collection. Whether this consolidation is done through selecting an existing project to cover this or creating a new site is a policy question. Various analysis efforts should be funded separately from the data collection entity.

Comments: The programmatic need for operations and maintenance support for collection of PIT tag information is clear. The relationship to many high priority programs is documented. The objectives and activities are clearly listed. Quality assurance goals are clearly specified but no mechanism for evaluation is mentioned. The personnel budget is quite large but little information is provided to evaluate the adequacy of the staffing.
