Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Captive propagation of the Pacific pocket mouse" (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00334) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding action focused on conservation research and recovery work for the Pacific pocket mouse through captive breeding and propagation. It is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out (for example, coordinating on objectives, sharing technical input, or aligning activities with federal recovery priorities). The opportunity falls under the broad activity areas of environment, science and technology, and research and development, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.656, identified here as "Habitat Enhancement, Restoration and Improvement."
Funding for this action is set at a fixed amount: the estimated total funding is $185,973, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $185,973, indicating the agency anticipated making one award at that exact level rather than offering a range of potential award sizes. The number of expected awards is listed as 1. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
A key point of this notice is that it is not an open, competitive solicitation. The posting is explicitly described as a Notice of Intent to make an award to the Zoological Society of San Diego, and it states that no competition is expected and that the public should not respond. Even though the eligibility category shown includes nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the practical effect of the notice is that the agency had already selected the intended recipient and was publicly documenting its intent to fund that organization for this specific conservation purpose.
Timing details reflect the administrative nature of the posting. The opportunity was posted and created on July 8, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 15, 2015, and an archive date of July 16, 2015. Those dates function more like a public notice window than an application period, since the announcement instructs potential applicants not to apply.
For additional details or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Anne Robb at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at 760-431-9440 or by email at annerobb@fws.gov.
