The Puget Sound Partnership has announced a Salmon Science Investigations Request for Information for collaborative proposals to conduct studies that support regional salmon recovery. Projects should advance progress towards self-sustaining, harvestable salmon populations that uphold Tribal treaty rights and support thriving communities and ecosystems in Puget Sound.

 The Partnerships anticipates supporting 6-15 projects with a minimum budget of $100,000 each. Projects are expected to begin in July 2025 and continue through June 30, 2027.

Project proposals must align with one or more information need categories: 

  • Relationships between salmonid populations, recovery actions, and salmonid habitat quality or quantity
  • Marine survival and marine food webs
  • Salmon production potential across landscapes and habitats
  • Human dimensions of salmon recovery

An informational webinar will be held via Zoom on January 8.
