Opportunity Summary:
The FWS Econ AERE Workshop (Funding Opportunity Number ECON 12 001) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) intended to support the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists (AERE) Summer Conference. The conference is described as a forum that brings together environmental and natural resource economics experts from around the world to share advances in both methodological and applied research. It also aims to create opportunities for discussing current policy-relevant issues and for disseminating state-of-the-art analytical methods used in environmental and natural resources economics.
This funding notice indicates USFWS Region 9s intent to make a single-source award, meaning the agency plans to fund a specific organization rather than run a competitive selection process. The notice cites Department of the Interior guidance for Single Source Determinations (505 DM 2.14) as the justification for proceeding this way. In practical terms, the announcement functions as public notice that the USFWS expects to issue a grant agreement directly to AERE to support the Summer Conference.
The opportunity lists one expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $10,000. The award floor and ceiling are both $10,000, which signals the agency anticipates a single grant at that exact amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The funding activity category is Environment, and the CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.649 (Service Training and Technical Assistance - Generic Training), reflecting the training, technical exchange, and capacity-building nature of conference support.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education). The posting and creation date are July 17, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 3, 2012, and an archive date of September 2, 2012. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed contact is Elizabeth Hubbard, Administrative Specialist, reachable by phone at 703-358-2082.
