Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled FWS 2011 94100 MICRA is a continuation award issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to maintain ongoing support for the Mississippi River Basin Regional Panel. The central purpose is to sustain the work that helps carry out Section 1203 of the Nonindigenous Aquatic Nuisance Prevention and Control Act of 1990 (NANPCA), a federal framework focused on preventing and controlling harmful nonnative aquatic species that can disrupt ecosystems, damage infrastructure, and create significant economic impacts. In practical terms, this funding is meant to keep an established regional coordination effort operating without interruption, recognizing that long-term invasive species prevention and response work depends heavily on stable partnerships, consistent planning, and continuous information-sharing across jurisdictions.
This opportunity is categorized as continuation funding and uses a grant as the funding instrument. Only one award was expected, and the funding amount was fixed: the estimated total funding was $50,000, with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $50,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not required to provide non-federal funds to receive the award. The opportunity is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to under Assistance Listing) number 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance, which supports technical and financial assistance activities that improve fish and wildlife conservation and management outcomes.
A key point about this announcement is that it was not a competitive solicitation and explicitly was not a request for applications. The agency stated that the decision not to compete the award was grounded in departmental policy for continuation actions (cited as 505 DM 2.14(B)). The rationale is that the activity being funded is a necessary continuation of work already underway, and competing it would likely cause a significant adverse effect on the continuity or successful completion of the activity. In other words, FWS viewed uninterrupted support through the established recipient as essential to keep the regional panel functioning effectively, rather than risking delays or disruptions that could come from shifting the work to a new entity.
The intended recipient referenced in the description is the Mississippi Interstate Cooperative Resource Association (MICRA), which had received all prior awards supporting the Mississippi River Basin Regional Panel for the previous eight years. The announcement emphasizes that continuing support through MICRA is integral to maintaining successful implementation of the NANPCA-related responsibilities tied to the panel. While the posting lists an eligible applicant category as nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the non-competitive nature of the opportunity and the continuation justification indicates the award was effectively targeted to the incumbent organization already performing the work.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on July 21, 2011, created on July 26, 2011, and had an original and current closing date of July 27, 2011, reflecting the administrative nature of the notice rather than an open call for proposals. It was archived on August 26, 2011. For assistance with accessing the full announcement, the listed program contact was Susan Mangin, Program Officer, at 703-358-2466, with the agency website noted as https://fws.gov.
