Opportunity Summary:
This funding notice is a single-source Notice of Intent to Award from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). It is not a typical open grant competition and there is no full public announcement attached. Instead, the Service is signaling its intent to make one cooperative agreement award directly to The Nature Conservancy under Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00409.
The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to support the implementation of prescribed fire in Kentucky as a habitat restoration tool. The work is aimed at improving or restoring degraded natural habitats that support federal trust species, meaning species for which the federal government has specific conservation responsibilities. The notice emphasizes that the prescribed fire activities will focus on habitats and species that are of mutual interest to both USFWS and The Nature Conservancy, reflecting a partnership-driven project rather than a standard vendor-style procurement.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project, such as collaboration on planning, technical input, coordination, oversight, or joint implementation. The funding activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the CFDA number is 15.631.
In terms of scale and structure, the notice anticipates a single award with an award ceiling of $500,000. The creation date of the notice is August 15, 2016, and the original closing date is August 19, 2016, which aligns with the fact that this is a notice of intent for a directed award rather than an open application period. Although the eligibility field is marked as “unrestricted,†the text makes clear that the intended recipient is The Nature Conservancy and that this is a single-source action, so it is not effectively open for other applicants to compete.
Overall, the notice communicates that USFWS plans to fund a collaborative prescribed-fire habitat restoration effort in Kentucky through a cooperative agreement with The Nature Conservancy, with up to $500,000 available and one expected award, and that there is no broader solicitation tied to this action.
