Opportunity Summary:
The Chronic Wasting Disease Sampling grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00275) is a discretionary, single-source grant notice issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It is presented as a Notice of Intent to make one award, specifically to the Utah Department of Wildlife Resources, under Department of the Interior policy 505 DM 2.14. The stated justification for the single-source approach is that it is a continuation action and that the intended recipient has unique qualifications, meaning the work is treated as a specialized, ongoing effort best carried out by the same state wildlife agency already responsible for managing and monitoring these wildlife populations.
The core purpose of the project is field sampling for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in mule deer and elk. The work focuses on collecting samples from harvested animals (for example, animals taken during hunting seasons) and from road-killed animals, then meeting specific sample-size targets for each Wildlife Management Unit as laid out in an existing sampling plan. The overall target across units is 2,548 total samples. The sampling design is explicitly statistical: the effort level is intended to provide 95 percent confidence for detecting CWD when the disease is present at a prevalence rate of 1 percent or higher. In practical terms, the grant supports enough sampling coverage, distributed by management unit, to credibly determine whether CWD is likely present at or above that threshold.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $44,550, with an award ceiling of $50,000 and an award floor of $10,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated. The funding instrument type is a grant, and it is categorized under CFDA 15.650 (Research Grants - Generic). Although labeled under an "Other" funding activity category, the description makes clear that the funded activity is applied disease surveillance and monitoring tied directly to wildlife management decisions.
The posting and application window for this notice was short: it was posted on June 30, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 7, 2014, and an archive date of July 30, 2014. Because it is a single-source notice of intent rather than a broadly competed solicitation, eligibility is effectively limited to the named recipient (Utah Department of Wildlife Resources), consistent with the "Others" eligibility category and the accompanying eligibility statement explaining the single-source basis.
