Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Genetic Assessment of LCT Broodstock" (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00051) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) focused on natural resources work, specifically fisheries genetics and broodstock management. The project centers on conducting a genetic assessment of Lahontan cutthroat trout (LCT) broodstock maintained at the Lahontan National Fish Hatchery in Gardnerville, Nevada. In practical terms, the intent is to support scientific analysis that helps managers understand the genetic makeup, diversity, and potential relatedness within the hatchery broodstock, information that is commonly used to guide responsible breeding decisions and conservation strategies for native trout populations.
This opportunity is categorized under the funding activity area of Natural Resources and is listed under CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. The funding instrument is a grant, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, meaning applicants are not required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving funds. While the notice provides basic administrative fields for funding amounts (estimated total funding, award ceiling, and award floor), all are shown as zero in the listing, which typically indicates that the public-facing entry did not specify dollar figures rather than implying no work would be funded. Applicants would generally need to consult the full announcement on Grants.gov (linked in the notice) for any details that were not captured in the summary listing.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. That generally means state universities and other public colleges are the intended applicants, reflecting the technical nature of genetics work and the need for laboratory capacity, data analysis expertise, and established scientific protocols. The narrow eligibility also suggests the agency was looking for a research partner capable of handling genetic sampling and analysis with appropriate quality controls, documentation, and reporting.
The posting timeline indicates this was a short-fuse opportunity. It was posted and created on December 11, 2014, with an original and current closing date of December 20, 2014, and then archived on December 21, 2014. That tight window is consistent with time-sensitive project needs or a targeted request where the agency anticipated a limited pool of qualified applicants.
For applicants or interested parties who needed help accessing the full announcement electronically, the contact listed is Mistylynn Summers, identified as a Budget Technician and Contracting Officer's Representative (COR). The notice provides a phone number (775-265-2425) and email (MistySummers@fws.gov). The official additional information link directs users to the Grants.gov posting, where the complete application instructions, any required project narrative elements, expected deliverables, reporting schedule, and evaluation criteria would normally be found.
