Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnakes" (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00446) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service notice of intent to make a single-source award, meaning it is not an open, competitive funding announcement and there is no full solicitation associated with it. In practical terms, the agency is not seeking applications from the public for this work. Instead, the Service states it intends to award a cooperative agreement/grant to a specific institution, Davidson College, under award number F14AC01208. The agency explains that the decision not to compete the award is based on applicable Departmental policy (505 DM 2.14, B.(2)) and is within the agency's discretion.
The purpose of the award is natural resources research focused on eastern diamondback rattlesnakes. The funded work will conduct an inventory of eastern diamondback rattlesnakes across several coastal refuge sites in Georgia and South Carolina. The Georgia locations listed are Harris Neck, Blackbeard Island, Wassaw, and Wolf Island National Wildlife Refuges. In South Carolina, the work includes Jehossee Island within the ACE Basin National Wildlife Refuge. An inventory in this context generally refers to documenting presence, distribution, and potentially relative abundance across the specified areas to support conservation planning and management decisions for the species within these refuges.
This opportunity falls under the discretionary category and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument type, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project compared to a standard grant. The activity category is listed as Natural Resources, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.650 (Research Grants - Generic). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated.
Financially, the notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $56,416. The award ceiling and award floor are both listed as $0, which often appears in single-source notices or records where the system fields are not used to define a competitive range. The posting date and creation date are September 23, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 30, 2014, and an archive date of September 22, 2015. Even though "Eligible Applicants" is shown as unrestricted in the standardized field, the eligibility section clarifies that this is not a request for applications, so the listing does not function as an open opportunity despite the generic eligibility label.
