Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "FWS, Reno Nevada FY2016 Funding Opportunities" (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00191) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS). It is described as a set of Reno-based funding opportunities serving the Pacific Southwest Region, and it supports work in the environment focus area. The primary funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means projects are expected to involve substantial involvement or collaboration with the federal agency during implementation rather than operating as a hands-off grant.
Applications were due on June 28, 2016 (the original and current closing dates are the same). The opportunity was created and posted on April 28, 2016, indicating a roughly two-month application window. The announcement projected up to eight awards, with an award ceiling of $725,000, signaling that individual projects could be funded at amounts up to that limit, depending on project scope, merit, and available funds. The listing does not specify a minimum award amount, cost share requirements, project period length, or detailed program priorities in the provided text, but it clearly frames the funding as supporting environmental efforts connected to the Fish and Wildlife Service mission in the Reno/Pacific Southwest Region context.
Eligibility is broad across several applicant types, including state governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations without 501(c)(3) status (excluding universities), and for-profit organizations that are not small businesses. The inclusion of for-profit entities (other than small businesses) is notable, since some federal opportunities limit eligibility to governmental or nonprofit applicants. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number listed is 15.608, which is commonly associated with Fish and Wildlife Service partnership and conservation-related assistance, reinforcing that this opportunity is intended to support environmental and conservation work carried out in coordination with the agency.
In short, this was a 2016 DOI-FWS cooperative agreement funding opportunity managed through Reno for the Pacific Southwest Region, aimed at environmental projects, offering up to eight awards with a maximum of $725,000 per award, and open to a mix of governmental, higher education, certain nonprofit, and certain for-profit applicants, with an application deadline of June 28, 2016.
