Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Evaluation of Natural Marks for Cultured Delta Smelt" (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00002) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) under the Natural Resources funding activity category. It supports a focused research project on delta smelt, specifically aimed at determining whether naturally occurring external body marks can be used to reliably identify individual adult fish. In practical terms, the project is meant to explore the feasibility of using non-invasive, naturally present markings as an identification method, which could reduce or avoid the need for artificial tags or other handling-intensive marking techniques when working with cultured adult delta smelt.
The award is structured as a single expected award with a fixed total amount of $38,271, and both the award ceiling and floor are also $38,271, indicating a tightly defined, single-project budget rather than a competitive range of possible award sizes. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to provide additional non-federal funds to receive the full award amount. The announcement notes that the USFWS will provide this $38,271 to the FCCL to carry out the delta smelt research activities described.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance, which aligns with projects that support management, conservation, and applied research activities for fish and wildlife resources. Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on October 9, 2012, with an original and current closing date of October 24, 2012, and an archive date of October 31, 2012, reflecting a short application window and a time-limited posting typical of targeted cooperative agreements.
