Reviews and recommendations

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

REVIEW:
ISRP Preliminary Review (ISRP 99-2)

Recommendation:
Fund (high priority)

Date:
Jun 15, 1999

Comment:

Recommendation: Fund (high priority). OK for a multi-year review cycle. Review again at the midpoint of the performance period, in FY2002.

Comments: This is a proposal to promote tribal watershed restoration through several activities: 1. Develop standardized watershed planning and restoration methods; 2. Coordinate restoration activities with salmonid production; 3. Streamline project implementation; 4. Coordinate monitoring and evaluation; promote public awareness of watershed restoration. The proposal is clear and well written, containing a detailed rationale and approach that are set within the regional context. However, the proposal lacks detail about the activities to be undertaken through the subcontracts. It should also provide more detail on the objectives for the "outreach" component and a description of how that outreach will be evaluated. The investigators are also listed as participants on other proposals. Are they committed for more than 1.0 FTE? The total time commitment of the principal investigators to this project and other projects should be evaluated.

REVIEW:
CBFWA: Subregional Team Comments

Recommendation:

Date:
Aug 20, 1999

Comment:

Increase from last year is due primarily to watershed assessment component. Intent is to achieve agreement between CBFWA, NPPC and ISRP on a "watershed assessment" definition. Until such an agreement is reached, training on an agreed upon product may be premature. Watershed assessments are important. We recommend funding at a reduced rate for FY00. Reduced budget reflects the removal of training and reduction of assessments from 4 to 2 basins.

REVIEW:
CBFWA: Watershed Technical Group Comments

Recommendation:
Technically Sound? Yes

Date:
Aug 20, 1999

Comment:

It is difficult to apply Watershed Integrated Technical Criteria to coordination projects.

What are the measurable biological objectives?

Is it appropriate to use BPA monies as cost share for other BPA projects?

Budget appears excessive.

Proposal exceeds the page limit.
