Opportunity Summary:
Gray Wolf Post Delisting Monitoring in Wyoming (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00074) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service grant opportunity created in response to the federal delisting of gray wolves in Wyoming on September 30, 2012. With delisting, management authority for wolves shifted from the federal government to the State of Wyoming for areas outside Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park, the Wind River Reservation, and the National Elk Refuge. The announcement emphasizes that the Wyoming Game and Fish Department holds the primary wildlife management authority in the state and is considered uniquely qualified to carry out post-delisting monitoring and management, with the capacity and staffing to keep Wyoming's portion of the Northern Rocky Mountain (NRM) wolf population above established recovery goals.
The core purpose of the funding is to support the continued conservation and responsible management of wolves after delisting, while ensuring the NRM population segment remains securely above recovery criteria. The work described is practical and statewide in scope: maintaining a recovered wolf population, tracking wolf numbers and distribution, addressing conflicts, regulating public harvest, advancing research, and keeping the public informed. A key deliverable is an annual status report on Wyoming wolves submitted to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service each year after the award, which serves as an accountability and monitoring mechanism for post-delisting oversight.
The tasks listed in the announcement lay out the full lifecycle of post-delisting management. First, the recipient is expected to manage wolves in Wyoming so that the state-managed portion of the NRM population consistently exceeds recovery thresholds. Second, the recipient must monitor the wolf population, which generally implies ongoing population estimation, pack monitoring, distribution mapping, and tracking of reproduction and mortality. Third, the grant supports direct control of problem wolves, meaning actions to address depredation or other conflicts that arise between wolves and livestock or other human activities. Fourth, it includes regulation of public take, reflecting the role of the state in setting seasons or rules, enforcing compliance, and ensuring harvest does not undermine recovery standards. Fifth, the opportunity supports wolf research and coordination of research efforts, which can include applied studies that inform management decisions such as habitat use, movement, genetics, predator-prey dynamics, and conflict reduction. Sixth, it calls for outreach, signaling that public communication and stakeholder engagement are part of the state’s responsibilities in a high-profile carnivore program. Finally, the annual report requirement formalizes ongoing documentation of wolf status and management actions for federal review.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant under the Environment and Natural Resources activity category, funded through CFDA 15.657 (Endangered Species Conservation, Recovery Implementation Funds). The total estimated funding is $1,160,000, with an award ceiling of $1,160,000 and an award floor of $232,000, and the agency anticipated up to five awards. No cost sharing or matching is required. The posting date and creation date are both February 5, 2013, with an original and current closing date of February 6, 2013, indicating a very short application window typical of a targeted or limited competition action.
Although the eligibility list is broad on paper (including state and local governments, tribes, nonprofits, universities, and for-profit entities other than small businesses, among others), the notice is explicitly described as a single-source award issued under Department of the Interior policy provisions tied to legislative intent and unique qualifications. In practical terms, the narrative makes clear the intended implementer is the Wyoming Game and Fish Department because it is the state agency with statutory authority and on-the-ground capacity to manage wolves across Wyoming outside the specified federal and reservation lands. The opportunity was archived on December 31, 2013. For assistance or questions about the announcement, the notice provides contacts at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service: Mike Jimenez (307-330-5631, mikejiminez@fws.gov) and Michele Franich (406-449-5225 ext. 203, michelefranich@fws.gov).
