Opportunity Summary:
The Endangered Species Candidate Conservation grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00267) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.660 (Endangered Species - Candidate Conservation Action Funds). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing a pass-through award with minimal interaction. The primary focus of this particular award is scientific and technical research and development work that supports candidate conservation efforts.
This specific project is aimed at improving field methods for the valley elderberry longhorn beetle (VELB) by developing a refined survey protocol. In practical terms, the funded work is intended to produce an updated, more reliable approach for detecting and surveying the species in the field, which can help standardize how surveys are conducted, improve data quality, and support better conservation and management decisions. A refined protocol can influence how agencies, consultants, and conservation partners determine the beetle's presence or absence, assess habitat use, and track distribution, all of which are important for candidate conservation planning and any future regulatory or status evaluation considerations.
The opportunity anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $150,000. The award ceiling was set at $150,000 and the award floor at $1, indicating that awards could technically be made for smaller amounts, but the overall funding pool and the expectation of a single award suggest the agency likely intended a full-scope project near the maximum amount. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind support as a condition of eligibility, although applicants sometimes still propose leveraged resources to strengthen a proposal.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional clarifications that might have been included in the full announcement. The posting date and creation date were both June 26, 2014, and the application closing date was July 7, 2014, indicating a short application window. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for the full announcement details, and the point of contact for access or application issues was John Ridilla at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (916-930-5624, JohnRidilla@fws.gov).
