Opportunity Summary:
The ASA Conference Assistance grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: FWS ASASUMMIT FY09) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) through its Office of the Director. Its purpose is to provide targeted support to partners for select annual conferences and workshops, and in some cases to cover annual dues for scientific societies or for natural resource professional or educational organizations. In practical terms, this is a small, focused funding stream meant to help sustain or enable participation in professional gatherings and membership-based activities that align with FWS priorities in education, environmental work, and natural resource fields.
This opportunity is categorized under the Education, Environment, and Natural Resources funding activity areas, and it is tied to CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.649, Service Training and Technical Assistance (Generic Training). The total estimated funding for the opportunity is $5,000, and the program anticipates a single award of up to $5,000 (award floor: $1; award ceiling: $5,000). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide non-federal funds to qualify for or receive the award.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. A key feature of this announcement is that FWS has determined it to be a single-source opportunity under departmental policy, with the agency indicating that no other applications are anticipated. That language generally signals that the funding is intended for a specific partner or organization based on an existing relationship or a particular need, rather than an open competition where multiple applicants are expected to be evaluated.
Timing-wise, the notice was posted on September 11, 2008, with an original and current closing date of September 17, 2008, reflecting a short application window. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed agency contact is Colleen Holland, Budget Analyst, reachable by phone at 703-358-2180.
