Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2016 Candidate Conservation Action Funds opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00100) is a U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS) discretionary funding program focused on proactive conservation. The core idea is to provide financial assistance for projects that either improve what is known about candidate species and other at-risk species, or that carry out on-the-ground restoration and conservation actions. The practical goal is to address threats early enough that these species do not end up needing protection under the federal Endangered Species Act, which is often more complex and costly for both conservation and land-use planning once a listing occurs.
This program is centered on conserving the ecosystems that candidate and at-risk species rely on. That includes actions that protect, restore, or improve habitat conditions, as well as efforts to collect and strengthen species information that supports sound conservation decisions. In other words, the funding supports both “knowledge-building” work (such as gathering data needed to understand a species status, distribution, or threats) and “action-oriented” work (such as habitat restoration or other interventions that reduce the pressures putting a species at risk). The description emphasizes that the program is meant to create a pathway for conserving these ecosystems and to serve as a dedicated means for conserving candidate and at-risk species before federal listing becomes necessary.
Awards under this opportunity may be made through several funding instruments: cooperative agreements, grants, and procurement contracts. The activity category is listed as Environment and Natural Resources, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 15.660. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is stated as $1,000,000. The posting and creation date for the opportunity is February 4, 2016, and the application closing date is July 31, 2016 (with both the original and current closing dates matching). Eligibility is described as “unrestricted,” meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility limitations or clarifications that may be provided in the full announcement under the “Additional Information on Eligibility” section.
Overall, this opportunity is designed for applicants proposing practical, conservation-driven work that reduces risk to species that are either already candidates for listing or otherwise considered at risk. The intended outcome is measurable progress toward stabilizing or improving species and habitat conditions so that federal listing can be avoided, while building a stronger base of information to guide conservation planning and decisions.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): FY 2016 Candidate Conservation Action Funds (F16AS00100)
1) What is the Fiscal Year 2016 Candidate Conservation Action Funds opportunity?
It is a U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS) discretionary funding program that supports proactive conservation projects focused on candidate species and other at-risk species. The program funds efforts that either improve what is known about these species or carry out on-the-ground conservation actions intended to reduce threats.
2) What is the Funding Opportunity Number for this program?
The Funding Opportunity Number is F16AS00100.
3) What is the main purpose of this funding program?
The central purpose is to address threats to candidate and at-risk species early, with the practical goal of reducing the likelihood that these species will require protection under the federal Endangered Species Act. The program emphasizes proactive work that can help avoid the more complex and costly conservation and land-use planning challenges that can occur after a federal listing.
4) Which federal agency is offering this opportunity?
The opportunity is offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS).
5) What types of species does the program focus on?
The program focuses on candidate species and other at-risk species. It is designed to support conservation before federal listing becomes necessary.
6) What kinds of projects are supported by this opportunity?
The opportunity supports two broad categories of work: (1) projects that improve what is known about candidate and at-risk species (knowledge-building), and (2) projects that implement on-the-ground restoration and conservation actions (action-oriented) that reduce threats and improve conditions.
7) What does "knowledge-building" mean in the context of this program?
Knowledge-building refers to efforts to collect and strengthen species information that supports sound conservation decisions. Examples described include gathering data needed to understand a species status, distribution, or threats.
8) What does "action-oriented" work mean in the context of this program?
Action-oriented work refers to practical interventions such as habitat restoration or other conservation actions that reduce pressures putting a species at risk. The emphasis is on protecting, restoring, or improving habitat conditions and conserving the ecosystems these species rely on.
9) What is the intended outcome of funded projects?
The intended outcome is measurable progress toward stabilizing or improving species and habitat conditions so that federal listing can be avoided, while also building a stronger information base to guide conservation planning and decisions.
10) What activity category does this opportunity fall under?
The activity category is Environment and Natural Resources.
11) What is the CFDA number associated with this program?
The CFDA number is 15.660.

17) Is the program specifically aimed at habitat work, species research, or both?
Both. The program supports work to conserve the ecosystems that candidate and at-risk species rely on (including habitat protection, restoration, and improvement), and it also supports efforts to improve the information needed for effective conservation decisions.
18) How does this program relate to the Endangered Species Act?
The program is designed to help reduce threats early so that candidate and at-risk species do not end up needing protection under the federal Endangered Species Act, which the description notes can become more complex and costly once a listing occurs.
