Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Assessment of Neonicotinoid exposure on high diversity grasslands in the Prairie Pothole Region" (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00113) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS). It is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the selected recipient would be expected to work in active collaboration with the agency rather than operating entirely independently. The project is framed around practical fish and wildlife management work that supports the broader conservation, restoration, and management priorities of Fish and Wildlife Conservation Offices, with this particular opportunity emphasizing monitoring and assessment as the National Wildlife Refuge System works toward restoration and management outcomes.
The central theme of the opportunity is evaluating exposure to neonicotinoids in high-diversity grassland habitats within the Prairie Pothole Region. Neonicotinoids are a class of insecticides often associated with agricultural landscapes, and assessing their presence or exposure pathways can be relevant to understanding potential risks to wildlife and ecosystem health, especially in regions where grasslands and wetlands intersect with cropland. By focusing on monitoring and assessment, the opportunity signals that the funded work is intended to generate information that can inform on-the-ground management decisions, track progress toward restoration goals, and help refuge and conservation offices evaluate whether management actions are achieving intended benefits for fish and wildlife.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on February 23, 2016, and closed on March 1, 2016, indicating a short application window typical of certain targeted federal funding announcements. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.608. The expected funding level was modest and highly targeted: the award ceiling was $38,019, and the agency anticipated making a single award. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, which suggests the applicant pool may have been limited to specific partner types or entities described elsewhere in the official notice (for example, certain institutions, organizations, or partners that meet program criteria).
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as a small, focused cooperative project meant to support the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in gathering field-relevant monitoring data related to neonicotinoid exposure in diverse grassland systems of the Prairie Pothole Region. The intent is to align applied assessment work with refuge and conservation office priorities so that restoration and management actions can be evaluated and adjusted using evidence collected through targeted monitoring.
