Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Basic Metapopulation Viability Analysis (MVA) for the Tidewater goby" (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00095) was a discretionary funding announcement released by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on March 5, 2015. It was offered as a cooperative agreement under the agency's Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category, and it was tied to CFDA 15.650 (Research Grants - Generic). The stated purpose was straightforward and narrowly defined: to complete a basic metapopulation viability analysis for the endangered tidewater goby (Eucyclogobius newberryi). In practical terms, this kind of work generally focuses on understanding how multiple local populations that are separated across habitats function together as a "metapopulation," including how extinction risk in one area might be offset by persistence or recolonization from other areas, and which habitat patches contribute most to overall species survival.
Eligibility for applying was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, indicating the opportunity was aimed at universities and similar public academic research entities rather than private organizations, nonprofits, or individual investigators. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which typically lowers the barrier to participation for research teams by not requiring institutional or third-party financial contributions beyond the awarded amount.
The posting and submission window was short. The opportunity was posted on March 5, 2015, with an original and final closing date of March 16, 2015, and it was archived on March 17, 2015. That timeline suggests it may have been intended for a relatively targeted pool of applicants who were already positioned to respond quickly, such as research groups with prior experience working on the species, its habitats, or population modeling for listed species.
In the public listing, the estimated total funding amount and the award ceiling and floor were all shown as 0. In many federal listings, that can occur when the agency chooses not to publish funding levels in the summary record or when the public-facing database entry is incomplete, so it does not necessarily mean there was no funding available. The funding instrument being a cooperative agreement also signals that the Fish and Wildlife Service likely anticipated substantial involvement in the project, such as collaborating on study design, providing data access, coordinating with recovery planning needs, or ensuring the analysis aligns with management decisions for the species.
For further details, the listing pointed applicants to Grants.gov for the full announcement and provided a direct agency contact for access issues: Connie Sauer (503-872-2826, ConnieSauer@fws.gov).
