Opportunity Summary:
The Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service posted a discretionary funding notice titled "Undesirable/Noxious Plant Species" (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00381) under CFDA 15.652, focused on environment and natural resources work. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The notice was created on August 4, 2016.
This announcement is not a competitive grant solicitation. It is strictly a notification that the Fish and Wildlife Service intended to issue a single-source financial assistance award to one organization, the Gulf of Maine Institute, for a project term of about 3.5 years. Because it is single-source and for notification only, the listing explicitly states that no applications are being accepted and the "closing date" is effectively not applicable.
The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $200,000 and shows expected awards as 0, which fits with the fact that this is not an open call for proposals and is instead a notice tied to a pre-identified recipient. While the eligible applicant category is described as 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (other than institutions of higher education), in practice this particular notice is not inviting other eligible nonprofits to apply, since the intended award recipient is already specified.
In plain terms, this posting functions more like a public record and transparency measure than a funding chance the public can pursue. It signals planned federal support for work related to managing or addressing undesirable or noxious plant species, carried out through a cooperative agreement with the Gulf of Maine Institute over roughly three and a half years, with a funding amount up to $200,000.
