Contract Description:
The amendment is to reduce funding by $20,000 for support for the "data analysis toolbox" under WE B  This activity will be picked up in a related contract under this project, -- QCI's contract 50585.  


Contract Description: The Integrated Status and Effectiveness Monitoring Program (ISEMP, 2003-017-00) is an ongoing collaborative effort to design, test, implement and evaluate Status and Trends Monitoring for salmon and steelhead populations and their habitat, and watershed-scale Effectiveness Monitoring for management actions impacting salmon and steelhead populations and habitat in the Interior Columbia River Basin.

ISEMP explicitly addresses work requirements of many 2008 FCRPS Biological Opinion RPAs (56.1, 56.2, 56.3, 57.1, 57.2, 57.3, 57.4, 57.5) and is directly related to additional 2008 FCRPS Biological Opinion implementation strategy requirements and recommendations. ISEMP takes a pilot-project approa... ch to the research and development of monitoring by implementing experimental programs in several major subbasins of the Interior Columbia: the Wenatchee, Entiat, Methow, John Day, South Fork Salmon and Lemhi River basins. The overall goal of the project is to provide regional salmon management agencies with the data, information and tools necessary to design efficient and effective monitoring programs.

Specifically, ISEMP generates quantitative guidance on and examples of: the robustness and limitations of population and habitat monitoring protocols, indicators and metrics; sampling design approaches for the distribution of monitoring effort in time and space; analytical approaches to the evaluation of monitoring data, information and programs; effective data management and communication designs that support the use, standardization and compilation of implementation, compliance, status, trends and effectiveness monitoring data by regional data generators and decision makers; and finally the design and implementation of watershed-scale restoration actions to maximize both the biological impact and associated learning opportunities resulting from the design and implementation strategy.

Through its work to date, ISEMP has developed expertise in the coordination and implementation of large-scale monitoring data collection programs. Applying this experience, ISEMP coordinates the installation, maintenance and calibration of in-stream PIT tag arrays across the Snake River basin and is designing and coordinating the implementation of a Columbia River basin-wide stream habitat status and trends monitoring. These programmatic implementation facets of ISEMP leverage previous experience with logistics and social factors to effectively implement comprehensive, standardized monitoring research and development at an unprecedented scale.  

This contract is one of several contracts that will implement this project.



Environmental Data Services assist in coordination of data management activities for the project and develops data management tools. Products to be developed under this contract include:

B83169160Create/Manage/Maintain DatabaseData Analysis ToolboxDuring fiscal year 2010, Environmental Data Services advanced the ATM Analysis Toolbox that supports the calculation, documentation, and reporting of standardized metrics. While calculation of standardized metrics is an initial step in the data analysis workflow, data analysis includes additional steps such as performing statistical analysis on metrics, incorporation of metrics as parameters in modeling exercises, or visually displaying metrics as maps or other graphical output. This work element will update the ATM Analysis Toolbox based on user feedback and will build crosswalks to connect output from the ATM Analysis Toolbox to ecological modeling, statistical inference, and mapping tools.$00.00%12/01/201011/30/2011
C83170160Create/Manage/Maintain DatabaseData Quality ToolboxThe flow of data from data generators to data warehouses requires data to be compiled, validated, and transformed for ingest to STEM Databank. This work is completed by subbasin data stewards and can be tedious and labor intensive. During fiscal year 2010, Environmental Data Services compiled data quality tools into a toolbox with a user-interface modeled on the ISEMP data flow and qa/qc process. This work element will continue on the previous years work by enhancing the existing toolbox based on user feedback and producing new data quality tools that are requested by subbasin data stewards.$23,4887.12%12/01/201011/30/2011
D83171160Create/Manage/Maintain DatabaseProtocol-specific Import and Analysis FunctionsThe Automated Template Module (ATM) is a generalized data entry application that is updated or calibrated from protocol-level documentation. While the ATM provides good functionality for a large range of protocols, some survey types or protocols require specialized data import or analysis functionality. Data collected by electronic data loggers, such as water temperature or PIT tags, require specialized import scripts. Similarly, data collected and stored in agency-level formats require specialized import scripts. This work element will produce import scripts and analysis functions as needed to support ISEMP data compilation and analysis requirements.$10,6513.23%12/01/201011/30/2011
E83172160Create/Manage/Maintain DatabaseISEMP Data Management System UpdatesThe flow of information within the ISEMP data management system requires updates to protocols, data dictionaries, and data entry functions. Additionally, data must be validated at multiple stages within the ATM and formatted for submission to the STEM Databank. This work must be coordinated within and across pilot basins. Under this work element, Environmental Data Services will perform required system updates, develop queries to support data validation, and ensure consistency of work flow across pilot basins. During FY 2011, EDS will continue refinement of the ARS to reflect ISEMP- and basin-wide programmatic decisions and will continue to refine the framework approach used to manage growth and versioning of the schema. The Aquatic Resources Schema will be updated to support evolving data collection protocols, metadata requirements, and data reduction procedures.$45,61613.82%12/01/201011/30/2011

I83176160Create/Manage/Maintain DatabaseCHaMP Data Model and System Architecture SpecificationThe Columbia Habitat Monitoring Program (CHaMP) will need a data system to support data capture, quality assurance reviews, GIS processing, metric generation, and data distribution. A system architecture diagram and plan will describe system components, requirements, and data flow. System components must be compatible with a defined data model. A data model will be developed to support data storage, analysis and retrieval needs as describe by the 2010 CHaMP protocol. This work element will build on the lessons learned from the ISEMP data system architecture and the ISEMP Aquatic Resources Schema and advance those concepts to support construction of a centralized data system for the CHaMP.$43,05513.05%12/01/201004/30/2011
J83177160Create/Manage/Maintain DatabaseGRTS Site Evaluation ToolNOAA Fisheries has recommended application of a Generalized Random Tessellation Stratified(GRTS) survey design for identifying habitat sampling sites. Application of a GRTS survey requires tracking site-level evaluation metadata to support extrapolation of monitoring metrics to watershed-level indicators. Implementing a site evaluation requires strict protocol compliance and rigid data validation. During fiscal year 2010, EDS built a desktop tool to support the GRTS Site Evaluation protocol. Under this work element, a web enabled GRTS Site Evaluation Tool will be built to support the CHaMP. The web enable tool will build upon functionality defined in the desktop tool.$90,25227.35%01/01/201104/30/2011
K83178160Create/Manage/Maintain DatabaseCHaMP Data Import and Quality Assurance PrototypeThe CHaMP data system will include a web-enabled data import and quality assurance component.
