Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00074) was a discretionary federal grant program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS) to support endangered species conservation work led by states. It falls under the broad funding activity area of environment and natural resources and is associated with CFDA 15.615. The overall purpose, as reflected in the opportunity title and description, was to provide FY 2016 grant funding to advance cooperative conservation efforts that help protect and recover species listed under the Endangered Species Act, typically through state-driven planning and on-the-ground actions carried out in coordination with federal partners and other stakeholders.
Eligibility for this opportunity was limited to state governments, meaning applications were intended to come from state agencies or comparable state entities responsible for fish and wildlife management and endangered species conservation. The funding instrument was a grant, indicating that selected projects would receive financial assistance rather than a contract for procurement. As a discretionary opportunity, awards would be made through a competitive or otherwise merit-based selection process rather than by formula allocation.
The posting details show the opportunity was created and posted on January 8, 2016, with an application deadline (original and current closing date) of March 18, 2016. The listed maximum award amount, or award ceiling, was $2,000,000 per award, setting an upper boundary on how much a single project could receive under this announcement. The listing shows "Expected Awards: 0," which generally signals that the number of awards was not specified in the announcement data field or was not populated in the source record, rather than meaning no awards would be made.
In practical terms, this funding opportunity represented a federal mechanism for supporting state-led endangered species conservation initiatives during FY 2016, administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, with potentially substantial individual awards up to $2 million for qualifying conservation work aligned with the program’s objectives.
