Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Recommendation:
Do Not Fund
Date:

Comment:
Recommendation:
Do not fund. Proposal was technically inadequate and lacking in detail.
Comments:
This proposal is wholly lacking in detail, and hence cannot be said to be based on sound science principles. There is no mention of the status of their management plan. The proponents do not describe who would perform the genetic analysis and how. In addition, the proposal is lacking in methodological details. CBFWA notes that bull trout are not known to exist in two of the four watersheds, and that the area is managed for anadromous, not resident fish. For each of the five objectives in section 8.f. there is no description of methods and, at best, a reference to another report. This does not provide the information needed to properly evaluate the proposal. In addition, sections 8.b., 8.c., 8.d. (which was completely blank), 8.g., 8.h., section 9, and section 10 contained inadequate detail for evaluation. How will snorkeling, foot surveys, and electrofishing be combined and used for statistical purposes? This proposal and 9802600, both ongoing, have broad overlap of subject matter but seem totally oblivious of one another. In contrast, project 9405400 is an example of how research efforts should be coordinated. Even if they have been on the ground for two months or waiting for initial funding, at a minimum they should have explained this, listed personnel, and described relation to and coordination with other bull trout studies. This proposal appears to be last year's proposal.

Comment:
Screening Criteria: yesTechnical Criteria: no-The current info suggests bulltrout does not exist in two of the four watersheds. It doesn't meet criteria 2,6,7,9. This area is managed for Anadromous not Resident fish. The method section lacks detail.
Programmatic Criteria: no-It does not meet criteria 12,13,16. This is not urgent or a high priority for this budget. The inventory does not meet sustainable process. There is no demonstrated collaboration with Anadromous work.
Milestone Criteria: no- It's a short lived assessment project.
General Comments: This project should absorb 9802600 without an increase in budget.
