Opportunity Summary:
The "Foundations of Success" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00278) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding notice describing the intent to make a single, non-competitive award through a cooperative agreement. The project sits in the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.669, Cooperative Landscape Conservation. The core purpose is to support the development of a web-based application and an associated database that can share and manage data across multiple conservation projects using the Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation. In practical terms, the funding is aimed at creating or enhancing a centralized, standards-based platform that helps different projects collect, store, and exchange conservation planning and monitoring information in a consistent way.
This announcement is not an open call for proposals. Both the original and current closing date fields state that there is no application process because the notice functions as a "notice of intent" to award a single-source agreement to Foundations of Success. The justification cited is 505 DM 2.14 (B4), indicating the agency is relying on an internal policy basis for making a sole-source cooperative agreement rather than soliciting competing applications. The posting and creation date are June 29, 2012, and the archive date is July 15, 2012, signaling a short public notice window consistent with a pre-identified recipient.
Funding is fixed and straightforward: the estimated total funding is $82,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $82,000, and the expected number of awards is one. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. The funding instrument is specifically a cooperative agreement, which generally means the Fish and Wildlife Service anticipates having substantial involvement in the project compared to a standard grant, such as collaboration on technical direction, deliverables, or integration with agency needs.
Eligibility is listed as "Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education." However, because this is a single-source notice without an application process, eligibility language is largely informational rather than an invitation for broad applicant participation. The primary takeaway is that the agency had already identified Foundations of Success as the recipient for this particular effort to build a web application and database aligned with the Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation.
