Opportunity Summary:
The "CITES Conference of Parties Future Activities" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CITES2010) is a discretionary grant announcement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, categorized under environmental funding. It was posted on July 27, 2010, with an application closing date of August 27, 2010, and an estimated total funding amount of $320,000. The program anticipates making a single award, and it does not require cost sharing or a matching contribution. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity is 15.649, described as Service Training and Technical Assistance (Generic Training).
This opportunity is explicitly structured as a single-source award, meaning it is not a competitive grant open to multiple applicants. The agency states that the intent is to enter into an agreement with the CITES Secretariat because of its unique ability to perform the work described. In practical terms, the announcement serves more as a formal public notice of the agency's intent to fund a specific entity rather than a call for proposals from the broader nonprofit or environmental community.
The purpose of the funding is to support the CITES Secretariat in carrying out future activities connected to the Fifteenth Meeting of the Conference of the Parties (CoP15) of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). CoP15 took place in Doha, Qatar in March 2010, and the grant is aimed at enabling follow-on work and continuing activities that relate to that meeting and its outcomes. While the announcement does not list detailed tasks line-by-line, it makes clear that the funds are meant to bolster the Secretariat's work tied to CoP15-related future efforts, which typically include implementation support, technical coordination, information management, and ongoing international collaboration that arises after a Conference of the Parties.
Eligibility is narrowly defined. Even though the listing includes a general category referencing nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, the eligibility statement clarifies that the only eligible applicant is the CITES Secretariat. As a result, other organizations, even if they are qualified conservation nonprofits, universities, or other institutions, are not eligible to apply for or receive this specific award.
For access issues or questions, the notice provides points of contact at the agency: Project Officer Craig Hoover (703-358-2162) and technical contact Holly Robinson (703-358-2261).
