Opportunity Summary:
The AFWA Climate Adaption Strategy Project (Funding Opportunity Number: FWS OSA 2011 001) is a continuation funding opportunity from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service focused on environmental work under CFDA 15.670 (Adaptive Science). The agency indicates it intends to make a single cooperative agreement award to support continued work on the National Fish and Wildlife Climate Adaptation Strategy project. In practical terms, this opportunity is designed to keep an existing, ongoing climate adaptation strategy effort moving forward rather than launch a new, open competition.
This is a non-competitive notice of intent, meaning the funding is not being competed broadly. Only one applicant is eligible: the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (AFWA). While the eligibility field lists nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the announcement explicitly limits eligibility to AFWA for this particular award, reflecting the continuation nature of the project and the agency decision to proceed with a sole-source type award.
The expected number of awards is one, with total estimated funding of $300,000. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $300,000, which signals the agency anticipated a single, fixed award amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide matching funds as a condition of the award. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies the Fish and Wildlife Service expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordination, collaboration, or shared responsibilities), as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient typically operates with more independence.
Key dates show the announcement was posted May 17, 2011 (created May 16, 2011) with an original and current closing date of May 20, 2011, and it was archived June 19, 2011. The short posting window is consistent with a continuation, non-competitive award where the recipient is already identified and the announcement serves primarily as a public notice of the agency’s intent to fund the work.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Sonja Scott, Administrative Officer, reachable by phone at 703-358-1720.
