Yukon River Salmon Research and Management Assistance: Fish and Wildlife Service Grant – Apply by Jan 6, 2025

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) receives funds for implementation of the Yukon River Salmon Agreement with Canada. The Agreement authorizes funds for cooperative research and management projects on the Alaska portion of the Yukon River. USFWS administers these funds through financial assistance on a competitive basis for projects, studies, and events that advance the scientific and public community’s understanding of the biology and management of salmon, with focus on Yukon River Chinook and Chum salmon stocks in Alaska. Funding will support work beginning in May 2025 with project activities completed in 2026. Applicants are strongly encouraged to develop projects that incorporate local capacity with members of Yukon River communities in which they may be working. Coordinating projects with state and federal regulatory agencies is also recommended, but not mandatory.
