Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2013 Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund (CESCF) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00007) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under Section 6 of the Endangered Species Act. Its purpose is to support on-the-ground conservation work carried out through state and territorial partners, helping conserve species listed under the Endangered Species Act and the habitats they depend on. The program is structured around four distinct grant opportunities within the CESCF, each with its own focus and requirements, and applicants are directed to the Fish and Wildlife Service CESCF grants website for the full descriptions of those individual components.
This opportunity is categorized under environment and natural resources and is listed under CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) 15.615, Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund. The funding instrument is a grant, and the announcement specifies that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning recipients generally must contribute non-federal funds or qualifying in-kind support toward the total project cost in order to receive federal assistance.
Eligibility is tightly defined. Only state or territorial agencies that already have a current cooperative agreement with the Secretary of the Interior are eligible to apply directly for CESCF funding. While non-governmental entities such as land conservancies, local community groups, universities, or conservation organizations cannot apply on their own, they can still participate by partnering with an eligible state or territorial agency and carrying out work as a subgrantee on projects that align with state-led conservation priorities and meet the program requirements.
Key administrative details include a posted and created date of October 25, 2012, with an application deadline (closing date) of January 14, 2013, and an archive date of February 28, 2013. The listed award ceiling is up to $3,000,000, while the award floor is shown as $0, indicating that awards can vary widely depending on project type, competitiveness, and available appropriations. The announcement lists estimated total funding as $0, which typically signals that a specific total dollar amount was not stated in the notice itself and may depend on congressional appropriations and final agency allocations for the fiscal year.
For official program guidance, including full descriptions of the four CESCF grant tracks, applicants are directed to the Fish and Wildlife Service website at http://www.fws.gov/endangered/grants/index.html. The OMB control number associated with the information collection requirements for this opportunity is 1018-0109. For access issues or help with the full announcement, the contact listed is Kelly Niland, Grant Specialist, at 703-358-2492, with an email contact referenced for the grant program as well.
