Opportunity Summary:
The Development of Pacific Region Invasive Species Prevention Policy grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00337) was a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding announcement issued under the Environment and Natural Resources activity area, using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The core purpose of the project was to support the drafting of a formal invasive species prevention policy tailored to the Fish and Wildlife Service's Pacific Region. The work was designed around an assistantship model: a graduate assistant would be brought on to provide technical support and to serve as the primary author of the policy document, working closely with the Pacific Regional Invasive Species Team (PRIST). Oversight on the Service side was to be provided by the regional science coordinator, who also served as the PRIST chair, reflecting an intent to keep the writing effort closely tied to regional leadership and coordination needs.
In practical terms, the opportunity centered on producing a policy product rather than conducting a broad research study. The graduate assistant was expected to synthesize relevant science and management considerations, translate them into usable policy language, and coordinate closely with PRIST members to ensure the final prevention policy reflected regional priorities and operational realities. Because the award mechanism was a cooperative agreement, the structure also implied substantial involvement by the agency in shaping deliverables, providing guidance, and coordinating review and input throughout the development process.
The announcement anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $33,384 and an award ceiling of $33,384 (with a listed award floor of $100). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any applicant type, although the posting also indicated that the recipient had already been selected by the time the notice appeared in the system. The notice was posted on July 9, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 14, 2015, and it was archived on July 15, 2015. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity was 15.650, Research Grants (Generic). For access issues or further information at the time, the contact listed was Connie Sauer (503-872-2826, ConnieSauer@fws.gov), and additional details were referenced through Grants.gov.
