Opportunity Summary:
This grant listing is a notice of intent from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to make a single-source cooperative agreement award to Auburn University. It is not a standard competitive funding announcement, and there is no full solicitation package associated with it. In practical terms, that means FWS is signaling that it plans to fund one specific recipient for this specific project rather than inviting proposals from the broader public.
The project focus is research and applied science aimed at Alabama Shad in the lower Flint River. The stated purpose is to describe the timing and periodicity of Alabama Shad spawning and to identify spawning areas. That typically involves field-based monitoring and analysis to determine when spawning occurs (seasonal timing), how frequently spawning activity happens across a season or across years (periodicity), and where in the river system spawning habitats are concentrated. Information like this is commonly used to support fish conservation and management decisions, including habitat protection, flow management considerations, and the planning of restoration or monitoring activities.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement generally indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared to a standard grant, such as collaborating on study design, coordinating fieldwork priorities, sharing data, or jointly interpreting results. The activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the CFDA (assistance listing) number is 15.658, which corresponds to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service conservation assistance programs.
The funding details indicate an award ceiling of $500,000 and an expectation of one award. The opportunity was created on August 15, 2016, with an original closing date of August 19, 2016. Even though the eligibility field says "unrestricted," the text makes clear that this is a single-source intent to award, meaning Auburn University is the intended recipient and there is no open competition implied by this notice. The funding opportunity number associated with the notice is F16AS00408.
