Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled FOLLOW ON WOLF MONITORING IN IDAHO (Funding Opportunity Number FWS R6 ES08RO0016) is a continuation cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Region 6, to support ongoing monitoring work related to the gray wolf in Idaho. The purpose is to continue funding activities the Service considers necessary under an existing Memorandum of Understanding with the State of Idaho, with a focus on addressing issues tied to gray wolf monitoring. Rather than launching a new competitive program, this announcement is structured as follow-on funding to extend or supplement work already being carried out under a current cooperative agreement.
This opportunity is specifically reserved for one eligible applicant: the State of Idaho, Office of Species Conservation. In practical terms, that means it is not open to the general public, universities, nonprofits, or other state agencies unless explicitly included through that designated office. The listing indicates the expected number of awards is one, reinforcing that this is intended to fund a single, known recipient to continue a defined set of monitoring responsibilities.
Funding is set at a fixed amount, with both the award ceiling and floor listed as $719,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The activity category is Environment and Natural Resources, and the instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency compared to a standard grant. The announcement notes that additional funding may be provided by modifying the existing cooperative agreement, but only up to the agreement completion date, or until USFWS determines that funds are no longer available or the agreement is no longer needed. Even with modifications, the total period of the agreement cannot exceed five years from the original effective date, setting a firm outer limit on how long this cooperative arrangement can run.
The timeline information shows the opportunity was posted and created on March 22, 2008, with an original and current closing date of March 31, 2008, and an archive date of April 30, 2008. The short window is consistent with a continuation award meant for a specific recipient rather than an open competition with broad outreach. The CFDA number is listed as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which sometimes appears in postings that are administrative, specialized, or not mapped to a more common assistance listing at the time of publication.
For additional context or reference, the announcement includes an external link described as a website for Gray Wolf information. For applicants or stakeholders who have trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed federal contact is Carol Beatty, Grant Officer, reachable by phone at 303-236-4320.
