Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Endangered Species Recovery Implementation" (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00147) is a discretionary federal funding announcement administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It is designed to support practical, on-the-ground and information-driven work that contributes directly to the recovery of endangered and threatened species. In plain terms, the program is meant to help gather the species data managers need, carry out restoration and recovery actions, prevent extinctions, and move species closer to meeting recovery goals, including delisting when appropriate. The opportunity sits under CFDA 15.657, which covers Endangered Species Conservation and recovery implementation funds, and it aligns with the broader mission of the Endangered Species Act: conserving the ecosystems that imperiled species rely on, running an effective conservation program for those species, and meeting U.S. obligations under relevant wildlife treaties and international conventions.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project after award, such as coordination, technical input, or shared decision-making during implementation. The total estimated funding for this posting is $34,995, with an award ceiling of $34,995 and an award floor of $100. Only one award was anticipated. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so applicants would not be required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving funds, based on the information provided.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity could theoretically apply (for example, governmental units, nonprofits, academic institutions, tribes, or other organizations), subject to any clarifications that might have appeared in the full announcement. However, the posting also states that the recipient has already been selected and refers to an attached selection process document, which strongly indicates this was not an open competitive opportunity at the time of posting and that the announcement functioned primarily as a public notice of an intended award rather than a call for new proposals.
Key dates show how limited the window was: the opportunity was posted on March 24, 2015, and it closed on March 29, 2015, then was archived the next day on March 30, 2015. The activity categories associated with the funding include environment, natural resources, and disaster prevention and relief, reflecting the idea that species recovery work often overlaps with habitat resilience and broader ecological protection.
