Opportunity Summary:
The Fish and Wildlife Coordination and Assistance Programs opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00146) is a discretionary federal funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work alongside the recipient rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal participation. The program area is listed under Environment and Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.664, which aligns with Fish and Wildlife Coordination and Assistance activities.
This particular notice is not a general, competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it serves as a notification that the Fish and Wildlife Service intends to make a single-source financial assistance award to Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech). The eligible applicant category shown is “Public and State controlled institutions of higher education,” matching Virginia Tech’s status. Because it is a single-source action, the opportunity is effectively targeted to that institution rather than open to a broad pool of applicants.
The anticipated project period is approximately two years, and the stated award ceiling is $350,000. The posting and creation dates are both March 28, 2016. The “Expected Awards” field is listed as 0, which can occur in notification-only postings where the award is being announced rather than competed through the portal in a way that would track expected competitive selections. Importantly, both the original and current closing dates indicate that the announcement is “for notification purposes only,” reinforcing that there is no open application window and that the public notice is meant to document the agency’s intent to fund a specific recipient.
In practical terms, this announcement communicates that DOI-FWS planned to support Virginia Tech through a cooperative agreement under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination and Assistance framework for work related to fish and wildlife conservation, coordination, or technical assistance. However, it does not provide a call for proposals, application instructions, or a deadline because it is not inviting new applicants; it is simply publicly recording the planned single-source award and its basic parameters (recipient, duration, and maximum funding level).
