Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Biological Monitoring in the Pearl River Basin" (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00411) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) notice of intent to make a single-source award rather than a competitive funding announcement. In practical terms, this means there is no open call for proposals and no full announcement package to apply to. USFWS states explicitly that this is not a request for applications, and that the decision not to compete the award is based on Departmental policy (505 DM 2.14, B.(2)) and is within the agency's discretion.
The planned funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that USFWS expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, rather than simply providing funds and receiving a final report. The intended recipient is the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, identified as the single-source partner for this effort. Although the general eligibility field lists "unrestricted," the text clarifies that the opportunity is not open for competing applications because the award is being directed to a specific entity.
The purpose of the project is environmental and scientific in nature, focused on building better subsurface aquatic habitat data for the Pearl River Basin, spanning areas in Louisiana and Mississippi. The core work described involves collecting field validation information to confirm or refine previously interpreted habitat data and to improve understanding of the spatial distribution of habitat types. In other words, the project supports on-the-ground biological and habitat monitoring that can be used to verify mapped or remotely interpreted data products, strengthening habitat classification and distribution datasets used for management, conservation planning, and related fisheries and wildlife decision-making.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on August 26, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 3, 2014, and an archive date of August 25, 2015. The total estimated funding amount listed is $141,509. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which commonly appears in notices that are not structured as competitive solicitations with variable award ranges, and instead function as a public notice tied to an internal or directed award action. The listing notes an expectation of two awards, though the narrative states an intent to award on a single-source basis to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries; in similar postings, this can reflect administrative structuring (for example, separate actions, phases, or related agreements) rather than an open competitive pool.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, with an activity category tied to environment, natural resources, science and technology, and other research and development. It is associated with CFDA number 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance, and it states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
