Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Desert Tortoise Monitoring Field Daga Collection" (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00101) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding action focused on environmental monitoring, specifically ongoing field data collection to support long-term population tracking of the Mojave population of the desert tortoise. The core purpose is to continue established monitoring efforts and gather data that can be used to describe long-term trends in desert tortoise densities, which is essential for understanding population status over time and informing conservation and management decisions.
This funding is being issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the Fish and Wildlife Service expects to have substantial involvement in the supported work rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal interaction. The total anticipated funding amount is $225,700, and the announcement lists both the award floor and award ceiling as $225,700, indicating a single, fixed-size award rather than a range of potential award amounts. The opportunity anticipates making one award.
Although the eligibility field is listed as "Unrestricted," the announcement clearly states multiple times that this posting is a Notice of Intent to Award to a single source and that no competition is expected. As a result, the agency explicitly instructs potential applicants not to apply. In other words, despite appearing in a format similar to open grant opportunities, it is effectively a pre-identified, non-competitive award notice.
Key administrative details include a posted and creation date of February 26, 2014, with an original and current closing date of March 27, 2014. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.608, "Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance," and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Brenda Krone (Grants and Agreements) at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at 775-861-6314 or by email at brendakrone@fws.gov.
