Opportunity Summary:
The "Biological interns" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: NWRS R2 11003) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to support intern staffing for biological and natural resource work. The agency plans to make a single expected award through a cooperative agreement, with an estimated total funding amount of $600,000. Both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $600,000, which indicates the agency anticipated one award at that fixed amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. The assistance is intended to provide interns who can help with work typically handled by biological technicians, including data management tasks and field or program support in hydrology and fire ecology.
A key feature of this posting is that it is described as a single-source award to SCA (commonly referring to the Student Conservation Association) under a pre-existing contract for interns. In practice, this means the agency was not seeking competing proposals from a broad pool of applicants for this particular action; instead, it intended to fund SCA directly based on an existing relationship or agreement framework for providing and managing interns. Even though the eligible applicant category is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the narrative description makes clear that the intended recipient is SCA under that pre-existing arrangement, consistent with a noncompetitive or directed award approach.
The activity category is "Science and Technology and other Research and Development," and the CFDA number provided is 15.650, labeled "Research Grants (Generic)." The announcement specifies that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. Administrative timing shows the opportunity was posted on August 25, 2011 (created August 24, 2011) with an original and current closing date of August 31, 2011, and an archive date of September 30, 2011, reflecting a short posting window typical of single-source actions.
For questions or help accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Bernard Lujan, Assistant Refuge Supervisor, reachable by phone at 505-248-6805 or by email at bernardlujan@fws.gov.
