Opportunity Summary:
The CAP Funding for Arizona State University (Funding Opportunity Number: CAP ASU 2012) was a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service funding opportunity issued as a continuation cooperative agreement in the environmental program area. Its purpose was to provide Central Arizona Project (CAP) funding to Arizona State University (ASU) so ASU could maintain captive stocks of two endangered fish species, the Gila topminnow and the Yaqui topminnow. The practical conservation goal behind the award was repatriation: keeping healthy, genetically viable captive populations available for reintroduction or supplementation of wild populations as part of endangered species recovery work.
This opportunity was explicitly set up as a sole-source continuation action, meaning it was not a broad competitive solicitation and was only available to a single eligible applicant, Arizona State University. The listing noted that eligibility was limited to ASU, reflecting that the work was part of an ongoing agreement and that ASU was the continuing entity selected to carry out the captive-propagation and maintenance activities. The program was associated with CFDA number 15.657, Endangered Species Conservation, under Recovery Implementation Funds, which aligns with the recovery-oriented intent of maintaining refugia populations that can support restoration and long-term persistence of listed species.
In terms of award structure and scale, the agency anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of $15,000 and no stated minimum (award floor listed as $0). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so ASU was not required to provide matching funds as a condition of the award. Key dates show how narrowly tailored and time-bound the administrative window was: it was posted on February 29, 2012 (created February 28, 2012) with an original and current closing date of March 2, 2012, and it was later archived on April 1, 2012. These short timelines are consistent with a continuation, sole-source action where the recipient and project scope are already established and the posting is primarily for transparency and administrative compliance.
For additional information or help accessing the full announcement, the point of contact listed was Lesley Fitzpatrick, Fish and Wildlife Biologist at the Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at 602-242-0210, with a U.S. government email address indicated in the notice.
