Opportunity Summary:
The "Annual National American Fisheries Society Conference" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: BLM ID NOI 09 0844) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, aimed at supporting participation in or activities associated with the American Fisheries Society's national conference. The core purpose of the agreement is to strengthen communication and coordination among a wide mix of stakeholders involved in fisheries and natural resource management, including federal agencies, state governments, local political subdivisions, and relevant private and interest groups. In practical terms, the funding is intended to help ensure that these groups can share information and perspectives on emerging opportunities and challenges in fisheries, discuss how programs are being used on the ground, and work through policy issues that affect resource management decisions.
This opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The anticipated funding level is modest, with an estimated total funding amount of $10,000, and the award ceiling is also $10,000 (the award floor is listed as $0). Only one award was expected. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means the recipient is not required to provide additional non-federal funds to receive the award.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). Importantly, the eligibility notes clarify that this is not a broad competitive announcement; it is specifically described as a continuation of an established agreement with the American Fisheries Society. That language signals that the funding is intended to extend or maintain an ongoing partnership rather than fund a new or open competition among many applicants.
Key dates listed for the posting and lifecycle of the opportunity include a posted date of February 18, 2009, an original closing date of February 25, 2009, and a revised/current closing date of March 27, 2009. The archive date is April 26, 2009. Additional details were available through Grants.gov at the time. For access issues or administrative questions, the listed contact was Melinda D.
