Opportunity Summary:
The "Caseys june beetle dietary and subsoil use project" (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00384) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service funding action focused on environmental research and habitat-related science for Casey's June beetle. The project description indicates work centered on understanding the beetle's optimal soil conditions, dietary needs, life span, genetics, and subsoil use, including the use of telemetry to study movement or underground habitat use. In practical terms, this type of study is meant to fill biological and ecological data gaps so land managers and wildlife agencies can make better decisions about conservation, habitat enhancement, and restoration actions that support the species.
This opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project (for example, collaboration on study design, data collection priorities, reporting, or coordination with broader recovery and habitat management goals). The funding activity category is listed as Environment, and it is associated with CFDA 15.656, described as Habitat Enhancement, Restoration and Improvement. The announcement lists a single expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $119,500, and both the award ceiling and floor are also set at $119,500, signaling a fixed, predetermined award amount rather than a range.
Although the eligibility field is shown as "Unrestricted," the text of the notice makes clear that this is not an open, competitive grant. It is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award a Single Source, with repeated language stating that no competition is expected and applicants should not apply. In other words, the agency had already identified the intended recipient and published this posting to document the planned single-source cooperative agreement rather than to solicit proposals from the public.
The timeline reflects that limited administrative purpose. The opportunity was posted and created on July 22, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 30, 2015, and an archive date of August 22, 2015. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. For parties who needed access to the full announcement during the posting period, the contact listed was Anne Robb at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (760-431-9440, annerobb@fws.gov), and the additional information link points to the standard government grants posting website.
