Reviews and recommendations

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

Recommendation:
Not innovative, but good prop
Date:
Dec 15, 2000

Comment:

This proposal is not recommended for support through the innovative review process because it does not meet the innovative criteria. It relies on standard practices even though it addresses a long-standing critical uncertainty. It is a well written and well designed proposal that would be of value to the region. Consequently, the project deserves "high priority" support through other venues, particularly for its application to upriver (ID) listed steelhead stocks. The proposal is technically sound, and the PI competent and meticulous. The proposal is particularly attractive because it proposes to rigorously examine the effects of hatchery rearing on fitness - a continuing, plaguing uncertainty in the basin's artificial production programs.
