Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, numbered G15AC00190, is a discretionary, non-competitive cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under CFDA 15.808 (USGS Research and Data Collection). It is titled "Developing integrated predator management to restore diverse, mesic, montane forest communities in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park" and is specifically structured as a sole-recipient award to the University of Hawaii. In practical terms, the notice is not an open competition; it documents USGS intent to make one cooperative agreement award to a predetermined partner to carry out research and applied management work focused on predator management as a tool for ecological restoration in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
The project focus is on developing an integrated predator management approach intended to support the recovery and long-term stability of diverse, mesic (moderately moist), montane (mountain) forest communities in the park. While the announcement text provided does not list technical tasks or methods, the title and context make clear that the work sits at the intersection of science and management: designing, testing, or refining predator control strategies in ways that measurably improve forest ecosystem outcomes. The emphasis on "integrated" predator management suggests a coordinated strategy rather than a single tactic, typically involving multiple tools, monitoring, and adaptive decision-making so that predator pressure is reduced in a way that benefits native biodiversity and forest regeneration.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on May 8, 2015, created the same day, and had an original and current closing date of May 21, 2015, with an archive date of June 20, 2015. The funding profile is straightforward: one expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $112,000. The award ceiling and floor are both $112,000, indicating a fixed intended award amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds to meet a match.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," but the eligibility clarification states that this is a non-competitive award to the University of Hawaii, meaning no other applicants were intended to be considered. Because it is a cooperative agreement (not a grant), the arrangement typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project, such as collaboration on study design, coordination with park needs, joint monitoring frameworks, or shared decision-making during implementation. The awarding agency is identified as the Geological Survey (USGS).
