Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Effective population size genetic analysis for the California tiger salamander in Santa Barbara County," was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service focused on a specific conservation research need in California. The project purpose was narrowly defined: the awarded funds were intended to support genetic work to develop estimates of effective population size for the California tiger salamander within Santa Barbara County. In practical terms, the work would revolve around using genetic data to estimate the number of individuals effectively contributing genes to the next generation, which is often different from a simple headcount and is a common metric used to understand genetic health, vulnerability to inbreeding, and long-term population viability.
The funding mechanism was a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency typically expects substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The activity category was listed under science and technology and other research and development, and it fell under CFDA 15.650 (Research Grants - Generic). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement noted, so applicants would not have been required to bring non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. That restriction implies the opportunity was intended for state universities, public colleges, or similar public academic institutions with the capacity to conduct genetic sampling, laboratory analysis, statistical population genetics, and formal reporting to support species management decisions.
The timeline for the opportunity was very short. It was posted on July 20, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 24, 2015, and it was archived on July 26, 2015. The listing shows estimated total funding, award ceiling, and award floor as 0, which commonly indicates that the specific dollar amount was either not provided in the public synopsis, was to be determined, or was handled through internal budgeting and clarified in the full announcement or through direct communication with the program contact.
For applicants or interested parties who needed the full announcement or had trouble accessing it online, the public contact provided was Yolanda Dacko at the Fish and Wildlife Service, with a phone number (805-644-1766 ext. 301) and email address (YolandaDacko@fws.gov).
