Cooperative Landscape Conservation | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Cooperative Landscape Conservation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00334) is a discretionary funding action from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that is being handled as a single-source award rather than an open competition. In practical terms, this is not a standard grant solicitation where applicants submit proposals for consideration. Instead, the agency issued a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning the Service has already identified the intended recipient and does not plan to publish a full funding announcement or entertain competing applications. The intended awardee is North Carolina State University.

The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work compared with a typical grant. The activity category is listed under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, aligning with the stated purpose of supporting research and related technical work tied to landscape-level conservation priorities. The funding is routed through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) program. CESUs are formal partnerships designed to connect federal agencies with universities and other partners to deliver research, technical assistance, and education that supports natural resource and conservation decision-making. In this case, the CESU mechanism is the vehicle the Service is using to carry out the collaboration with North Carolina State University.

Funding details are very specific and fixed for this action. The opportunity anticipates exactly one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $71,619. The award ceiling and award floor are both $71,619, indicating the budget is not a range but a set amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement associated with the funding. The CFDA (assistance listing) number connected to the opportunity is 15.669, Cooperative Landscape Conservation.

Although the eligibility field is labeled as “unrestricted,” the accompanying eligibility clarification makes clear that this is not a request for applications and is not being competed. The agency explicitly states that the decision not to compete the award is based on departmental policy (505 DM 2.14, B.(2)) and is within the agency’s discretion. As a result, other organizations should not interpret the posting as an opportunity to apply, but rather as a public notice documenting the government’s intent to make a direct award to the named institution.

Key dates shown for the posting include a posted date of August 29, 2013, a creation date of September 4, 2013, and a closing date that moved from September 2, 2013 to a current closing date of September 9, 2013. Even though a closing date is listed, its function here is mainly administrative since there is no open competition and no full announcement package associated with the notice.

For additional details, the posting references Grants.gov as the information source, and provides a point of contact for access issues: Janice Mcneill, Contract Specialist, reachable at 404-679-4056 or janicemcneill@fws.gov.
