Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Attwaters Prairie Chicken Breeding" (Funding Opportunity Number 21560-13-001), is a continuation grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service focused on preventing extinction of the Attwater's prairie chicken, a critically endangered grouse native to the coastal prairie ecosystem of Texas. The species is in an emergency-level conservation state, with fewer than 75 individuals remaining across three locations, making intensive management and rapid population support essential. The program is built around the long-running recovery strategy that has relied on captive propagation since 1992 and releases into the wild since 1996, and it specifically aims to keep captive breeding in place so that birds can continue to be produced for release efforts tied to the Attwater's Prairie Chicken Recovery Plan (2010).
The funding is offered as a grant under the Natural Resources activity category, with one expected award. The estimated total funding amount is $139,800, with a very narrow funding range (award floor of $139,800 and ceiling of $140,000), which suggests a highly specific, predefined project scope consistent with a continuation award rather than a broad competition. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award. Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofit organizations holding 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education, indicating the award is intended for a specialized nonprofit partner capable of operating or supporting captive breeding, husbandry, and associated recovery activities.
The opportunity was posted on June 28, 2013, created on July 2, 2013, and had a very short application window, closing on July 5, 2013, with an archive date of August 4, 2013. The short turnaround is another indicator that this was structured as a continuation action with an anticipated recipient already engaged in the work. The primary objective is to continue captive breeding operations that supply birds for release, supporting broader recovery goals such as stabilizing numbers, maintaining genetic diversity, and increasing the number of individuals available for reintroduction to suitable habitat.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Terry Rossignol, Refuge Manager, reachable by phone at 979-234-3278.
