Opportunity Summary:
Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00438) is a discretionary cooperative agreement program run by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.608. The purpose of the opportunity is to provide technical and financial assistance to a wide range of partners involved in conserving and managing fish and wildlife resources. In practical terms, this support is meant to help other federal agencies, state and local governments, Native American tribes, nonprofit organizations, citizen groups, and private landowners carry out activities that protect fish and wildlife and improve the health of the habitats those species depend on.
A central emphasis of the program is conservation and management work that can include planning, monitoring, applied research, education, and on-the-ground implementation carried out in collaboration with the Fish and Wildlife Service. The announcement specifically highlights efforts to minimize the establishment, spread, and impacts of aquatic invasive species. That includes prevention and early detection work, coordination across jurisdictions, and practical management actions aimed at reducing ecological and economic damage to native fish and wildlife populations and the waters they rely on.
The description also notes that the program encompasses co-management of marine mammals by Alaska Natives for subsistence use. This reflects a focus on supporting collaborative management approaches in Alaska where subsistence practices are closely tied to cultural traditions and local food security, and where effective conservation depends on partnerships between federal managers and Indigenous communities.
As posted on August 14, 2015 (and archived September 14, 2015), the specific listing provided here is not a typical open competition. The closing language states the award is being sole-sourced to Utah State University due to the ongoing nature of project activities and that it represents a no-cost extension of the period of performance with no new federal funds obligated. Consistent with that, the estimated total funding and both the award ceiling and floor are shown as $0, indicating the action is administrative in nature rather than a new funding round.
Eligibility for this posting is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the fact that the action is being directed to a specific university partner rather than soliciting new applicants. Because it is a cooperative agreement, the expectation is that the Fish and Wildlife Service would have substantial involvement in the supported work (for example, coordinating technical direction, participating in project planning, or collaborating on deliverables), which is typical for projects that require close partnership with the agency. The opportunity indicates there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
