Opportunity Summary:
The Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service announced a discretionary grant opportunity focused on the ecology and management of the Kuroshio shot hole borer, an invasive ambrosia beetle that has been damaging and killing trees in the Tijuana River Valley. The purpose of the project is to support work that improves understanding of this pest and helps inform practical management actions to reduce impacts on the affected riparian and wetland-associated habitats in the valley. The funding activity falls under the environment category (CFDA 15.657) and would be carried out through a cooperative agreement, meaning the agency expects to have substantial involvement with the recipient during the project rather than issuing a hands-off grant.
This opportunity is not a typical open solicitation. It is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make an award to a specific organization: the Southwest Wetlands Interpretive Association, a nonprofit with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). Because the agency states that no competition is expected, the public is instructed not to apply. In practical terms, the posting functions mainly as a transparency notice that the Fish and Wildlife Service intends to direct funding to a named partner for a defined piece of work related to the invasive beetle problem in the Tijuana River Valley.
The anticipated award amount is capped at $46,785, and the agency expects to make a single award. The opportunity was created on July 18, 2016, with an original closing date of August 2, 2016. Even though a closing date is listed, the central message is that the award is intended for the identified organization and that outside applications are not being accepted.
