Endangered Species Conservation Recovery Implementation Funds | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Endangered Species Conservation - Recovery Implementation Funds opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00058) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service notice of intent to make a single-source award through a cooperative agreement. In practical terms, this means the Service had already identified the recipient it planned to fund and was not seeking proposals from the public. There is no full competitive funding announcement tied to this posting, and the agency explicitly states it is not a request for applications. The decision not to compete the award is described as consistent with Departmental policy (505 DM 2.14, B.(2)) and falls within the agency's discretion.

The project focus centers on white-nose syndrome (WNS) and its impacts on bat populations, with an emphasis on understanding what bat communities look like after WNS has moved through an area. The intended cooperative agreement would support work to better characterize how post-WNS distribution varies across different places and conditions, and what that variability means for the potential viability of surviving populations. A key biological question highlighted in the notice is whether bats in landscapes affected by WNS still show maternity colony activity, which is an important indicator of ongoing reproduction and the possibility of population persistence or recovery. Another major aim is to examine whether the patterns of decline observed as WNS continues spreading west and south follow similar, potentially predictable trends, or whether those trends change depending on environmental and landscape differences. That framing signals an interest not only in documenting declines, but also in identifying the factors that may shape severity, timing, and outcomes across regions, which can directly inform conservation and recovery strategies.

Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, implying substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project (as opposed to a more hands-off grant). The funding activity categories listed include education, environment, and science and technology and other research and development, reflecting that the work is research-oriented and conservation-driven. The expected number of awards is one, with an estimated total funding amount of $155,052. The posting lists no cost sharing or matching requirement. Although the eligibility field is marked as unrestricted in a general sense, the narrative makes clear that no applications would be accepted because it is a sole-source intent to award.

Key dates associated with the posting include a posted and creation date of January 7, 2015, an original and current closing date of January 15, 2015, and an archive date of January 16, 2015. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.657 (Endangered Species Conservation - Recovery Implementation Funds). For access issues or questions, the listed contact is Kerri Heywood, Grant Specialist, at 404-679-4066 and kerriheywood@fws.gov. The additional information link points to Grants.gov, but the core point of the notice remains that it is informational only and not an open funding competition.
