Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Canid species, including Red Wolves (Canis rufus), on The Albemarle Peninsula" (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00430) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) notice stating the agency's intent to make a single-source award through a cooperative agreement. In practical terms, this posting is not a competitive funding announcement and it is not inviting the public to submit applications. Instead, it serves as formal documentation that USFWS plans to fund one specific recipient to carry out certain wildlife management activities connected to canid species work on North Carolina's Albemarle Peninsula, including actions related to the federally protected red wolf (Canis rufus).

The purpose of the planned cooperative agreement is to support on-the-ground wildlife management that aligns with the conservation, restoration, and management goals and priorities of the USFWS Fish and Wildlife Conservation Offices. While the notice does not provide a detailed project narrative, the framing makes clear the work is intended to contribute to broader Service priorities in canid conservation and management. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, it typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in coordinating, guiding, or collaborating on the supported activities, consistent with the Service's management objectives.

Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. The activity categories listed include education, environment, and science and technology/other research and development, suggesting the supported work could involve a mix of field operations, monitoring, applied research, and possibly outreach or coordination components, as long as they fit the Service's conservation office priorities. The posting indicates an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that this is a single-recipient action rather than a program open to multiple applicants.

The notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $55,000, with no stated award floor or ceiling (both shown as zero, which usually reflects how the record was entered rather than an indication of no funding limit). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Although the eligibility field is shown as "unrestricted," the eligibility information clarifies that this is not a request for applications, and that the decision not to compete the award is based on Departmental policy (cited as 505 DM 2.14(B)(2)) and is within the agency's discretion. In other words, even though the system may display broad eligibility categories, the agency is not seeking proposals from outside parties.

Key dates show the notice was posted and created on August 11, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 18, 2015, and an archive date of August 20, 2015. Those dates function more like an administrative window for the notice on Grants.gov rather than a true application period, since there is no open competition. For additional details, the record points readers to Grants.gov and provides a contact for access issues: Kerri Heywood, Grant Management Specialist, at 404-679-4066 or kerriheywood@fws.gov.
