Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Conservation Genetic Analysis of Empetrichthynae in Nevada" (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00356) is a small, targeted federal funding action intended to support conservation genetics work on a specific group of Nevada fishes: the Empetrichthynae, including species in the genus Crenichthys and the species Empetrichthys latos. The project focus is to generate genetic information that can inform conservation and management decisions for these fishes in Nevada, which are typically of high conservation interest due to their restricted ranges and sensitivity to habitat change.
This opportunity is administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, and is categorized as an environmental program under CFDA 15.608. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning the work is expected to involve a degree of collaboration or involvement between the federal agency and the award recipient rather than being a simple pass-through grant with minimal federal engagement. The anticipated award amount is up to 15,000 dollars, with one award expected.
A key practical detail is that this posting is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Make an Award to the State of Nevada, with no competition expected. In other words, it is not an open call for proposals. The eligible applicant listed is state governments, and the notice instructs potential applicants not to respond. The structure described indicates that the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) will receive the award and then contract with an appropriate academic institution to actually carry out the conservation genetic analysis. That makes NDOW the primary recipient and project lead from the federal funding standpoint, while the academic partner would be engaged through NDOW procurement or contracting processes.
The timeline reflects how narrow and administrative this type of announcement is. The opportunity was created on July 19, 2016, with an original closing date of July 25, 2016, which is consistent with a non-competitive intent-to-award notice where the purpose is mainly public documentation rather than collecting applications from the broader community.
In plain terms, the government is documenting its plan to provide a single, relatively small cooperative agreement to Nevada so that NDOW can hire an academic partner to conduct genetic analyses on these rare native fishes, producing data that can help clarify population structure, genetic diversity, and related conservation questions relevant to managing and protecting Empetrichthynae in Nevada waters.

Why are these fishes considered high conservation interest?
The notice describes them as typically of high conservation interest because they have restricted ranges and are sensitive to habitat change.
What type of funding instrument will be used?
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement.
What does it mean that the instrument is a cooperative agreement in this context?

The short timeline is consistent with a narrow, administrative intent-to-award notice whose purpose is primarily public documentation rather than collecting applications from multiple applicants.
What is the practical takeaway for interested researchers or institutions?
This is not a call for proposals. The notice indicates NDOW will contract with an appropriate academic institution, so engagement would occur through NDOW contracting or procurement processes rather than through submission to this federal posting.
