Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "FWS ECON AERE WORKSHOPS 2009" (Funding Opportunity Number: ECON 09 02) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Its central purpose is to provide financial support for workshops organized by the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists (AERE), along with AERE's World Congress on Environmental and Natural Resource Economics and Policies. These events are framed as professional forums that convene experts from around the world to share advances in both methodological and applied research related to environmental and natural resource economics. The underlying goal is to strengthen the exchange of state-of-the-art tools, research findings, and policy-relevant approaches, while also creating structured space for discussion of current issues in environmental and natural resource policy.
A key feature of this opportunity is that it is intended as a single-source award. The announcement explains that, consistent with Department of the Interior guidance (505 DM 2.14), USFWS Region 9 publicly states its intent to make an award specifically to AERE rather than running a competitive selection among multiple applicants. The award is described as supporting "AERE Work on Environmental Policy Issues and World Congress of Environmental and Resources Economists," emphasizing that the funding is tied to AERE's role as the convening organization for these particular workshops and the World Congress. The notice also indicates that amendments to the agreement may occur depending on available funds, suggesting the agency anticipated the possibility of adjustments, but only as funding conditions allowed.
Financially, the opportunity is straightforward and tightly bounded. The estimated total funding is $20,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also listed as $20,000, which signals that the agency expected a single award at that exact amount. The announcement anticipates one award in total. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant.
In terms of eligibility, the listed eligible applicants are nonprofits that hold 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. This aligns with AERE's nonprofit status and reinforces the single-source nature of the award. The grant is categorized under the funding activity area of "Environment" and is associated with CFDA number 15.649, identified as "Service Training and Technical Assistance (Generic Training)," which fits the emphasis on workshops, professional knowledge exchange, and technical or methodological capacity building.
The timeline provided shows the opportunity was posted on December 3, 2008, created on December 8, 2008, and had an original and current closing date of December 17, 2008, with an archive date of January 16, 2009. This short application window further reflects that the announcement functioned largely as formal notice tied to a planned single-source grant action rather than a broad open competition.
