Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity was a discretionary federal funding announcement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) for a single cooperative agreement award, issued as a subaward to Utah State University under the existing Great Basin Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) contract (contract number F11AC00569). The funding opportunity number was F12AS00225, and the title was "Great Basin CESU subaward to Utah State for research." It was categorized under the environment activity area and tied to CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance, which generally supports work that helps agencies and partners manage fish and wildlife resources through applied science, technical assistance, and related conservation support.
The announcement anticipated one award totaling exactly $80,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $80,000, meaning the planned agreement amount was fixed rather than a range. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, so the recipient would not be expected to contribute a non-federal match as a condition of the award. The eligible applicant category was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, consistent with the intent to make a CESU-based subaward to a university partner; in practice, the description indicates Utah State University was the intended recipient under the Great Basin CESU mechanism.
The funding instrument type was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period compared with a standard grant. In these arrangements, the agency often participates in technical coordination, project oversight, or collaborative planning while the recipient carries out the research and deliverables. The short description provided in the posting did not include a detailed statement of work beyond noting that it was a research subaward under the Great Basin CESU contract, implying the specific research scope and deliverables were likely defined in associated CESU documentation or in the agreement package referenced by the federal posting site for agreements.
The timeline for the posting was brief. It was posted and created on June 18, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 25, 2012, and it was archived on June 27, 2012. That short open period is consistent with opportunities that are effectively directed awards or limited-competition actions under an established partnership vehicle such as a CESU, where the eligible community is narrow and the recipient may be pre-identified. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed contact was Brenda Krone, Agreement Specialist, reachable at 775-861-6314 or brendakrone@fws.gov.
