Endangered Species Recovery Implementation | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Endangered Species Recovery Implementation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number ES RI 09) is a discretionary funding program from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service designed to support on-the-ground and research-based projects that measurably advance the recovery of species listed as endangered or threatened. The main purpose is straightforward: fund work that directly contributes to getting listed species to a point where protections under the Endangered Species Act are no longer needed. Projects are especially encouraged when they implement specific, already-identified recovery actions laid out in an approved species recovery plan, particularly items found in the plan's implementation schedule, or when they carry out actions recommended through a completed five-year status review for the species. In practice, this means the program is not looking for general conservation work in the abstract; it is looking for proposals that tie clearly to established federal recovery guidance and can show how proposed activities move the needle on recovery.

The opportunity supports multiple federal funding instruments, including cooperative agreements, grants, procurement contracts, and other arrangements, reflecting that some projects may involve close coordination with the federal government while others may be more independently executed. The activity areas align with environment, natural resources, and science and technology, including research and development where it is relevant to recovery outcomes. The program anticipated making around 25 awards, indicating a competitive process with multiple awards rather than a single large project.

A notable feature is the broad eligibility. Applicants can include federal-recognized tribal governments, other Native American tribal organizations, state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status, small businesses, other for-profit organizations that are not small businesses, and even individuals. This wide eligibility is consistent with how recovery work often happens across many types of partners, including state wildlife agencies, local governments, universities, nonprofits conducting species monitoring or habitat restoration, tribes managing culturally and ecologically important species and lands, and private entities with relevant technical capacity. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed for this opportunity, which can make participation more feasible for smaller organizations and partners that may not have large pools of non-federal funding available.

The program is tied to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance listing 15.657, titled Endangered Species Conservation - Recovery Implementation Funds, which is the standard federal identifier for this type of recovery implementation assistance. The announcement was posted and created on August 11, 2009, with a closing date of September 30, 2009, and an archive date of October 30, 2009. Although those dates reflect the 2009 cycle for this specific posting, the structure of the opportunity illustrates how the Service organizes and funds recovery implementation work: through targeted projects that are explicitly grounded in recovery plans and five-year reviews.

For applicants needing help obtaining or accessing the full announcement, or needing additional assistance, the listed program contact is Jeanette Green, Program Specialist at the Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at (703) 358-2206.
