Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Recovery Initiative, The American Museum of Natural History, Southwest Research Station (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00367) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). It sits under the broader Cooperative Recovery Initiative, which is designed as a cross-program strategy to support practical, on-the-ground actions that restore and recover federally listed threatened and endangered species. A central focus of the initiative is improving conservation outcomes for listed species found on private lands and on National Wildlife Refuges, or in nearby areas where refuge-associated species and habitats extend beyond refuge boundaries.
This opportunity emphasizes a coordinated approach inside USFWS, where multiple programs pool expertise and funding to support projects with the strongest conservation impact. Specifically, the initiative brings together resources from the National Wildlife Refuge System, the Endangered Species program, Partners for Fish and Wildlife, Fisheries, the Office of the Science Advisor, and the Migratory Bird Program. The underlying idea is that conservation projects are often most effective when they are not handled in isolation, especially when species recovery depends on habitat and management actions that cross land ownership lines or involve both refuge lands and adjacent private properties.
From a funding standpoint, the announcement indicates a single expected award totaling $50,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $50,000, meaning it is structured as one fixed-size grant rather than a competition for varying award amounts. The grant does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can make participation more feasible for eligible organizations that may not have readily available non-federal match. The funding activity category is listed under Natural Resources, with an explanation clarifying the conservation and natural resources purpose of the work. The CFDA listing provided is 15.632, Conservation Grants - Private Stewardship for Imperiled Species, which aligns with the emphasis on assisting conservation and recovery efforts that involve non-federal lands and partners.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. This restriction suggests the award is intended for an eligible nonprofit partner rather than a university-led research proposal, and the title referencing the American Museum of Natural History, Southwest Research Station implies the award may be associated with a specific partner organization and a defined scope of work tied to that station or its conservation priorities.
Administratively, the posting date and creation date are both August 4, 2014, and the closing date is August 8, 2014. The notice language indicates this is a "Notice of Intent to Award" and "Single Source," which typically means the agency is signaling an intent to make an award without a full open competition, often because a particular organization is uniquely positioned for the work or because the project is a continuation or highly specific collaboration. The archive date is listed as August 3, 2015, indicating when the opportunity record was scheduled to be archived in the grants system.
For applicants or interested parties who need help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Michelle L. Willcox, Grants Specialist, reachable by phone at 505-248-7486 or by email at michellewillcox@fws.gov.
