How was the OHRC funded?
The Legislature and Governor developed $7 million in funding for the OHRC. The budget includes $4 million from Measure 66 capital funds, $1.125 million in Lottery Funds from the Restoration and Protection Research Fund, and $1.875 million in ODFW’s Other Funds. The Governor’s Office also has requested Congressional support for federal funds to support research at the OHRC . Oregon is working with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service to further explore federal funding options.
