Opportunity Summary:
The California Landscape Conservation Cooperative grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00267) was issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on environmental conservation science. The stated project purpose is a study of the threatened tiger salamander in vernal pool habitats located in Central California, specifically on national wildlife refuges. In practical terms, this kind of work typically supports on-the-ground and applied research activities that help refuge managers and conservation planners better understand the species status, habitat conditions, and management needs of vernal pool ecosystems, which are seasonal wetlands that provide critical breeding and early life-stage habitat for species like the tiger salamander.
This announcement was not a competitive funding opportunity. It was published on Grants.gov as a Notice of Intent to make a single-source award to Conservation Science Partners under the authority cited as 505 DM 2.14, meaning the agency had already identified a specific organization for the award and did not expect or solicit applications from other entities. The notice explicitly stated that no competition was expected and that prospective applicants should not apply or respond. The posting date and creation date were both June 10, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 11, 2015, and it was archived on June 19, 2015, reflecting that it functioned mainly as a public transparency notice rather than an open call for proposals.
The total anticipated funding amount was $192,697, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $192,697, indicating a single fixed award amount rather than a range. The opportunity anticipated one award. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not have been required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. The CFDA listing associated with the program was 15.669, Cooperative Landscape Conservation, which aligns with Landscape Conservation Cooperative efforts that support science and partnerships to inform landscape-scale conservation decisions.
Eligibility information in the notice referenced nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because the award was designated as single-source and non-competitive, the eligibility category is largely informational and does not indicate that other eligible nonprofits could submit an application for consideration under this particular notice. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the contact listed was Rebecca Fris of the Fish and Wildlife Service (phone 916-278-9415, email rebeccafris@fws.gov). The additional information link provided in the notice pointed to the Grants.gov listing for the opportunity.
