Opportunity Summary:
The Grizzly Bear Management Assistance in Montana opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWS R6 GRIZZLYBEARMANAGEMENTASSISTANCE) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding announcement offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.657, Endangered Species Conservation - Recovery Implementation Funds. It was posted on June 10, 2011, with a very short application window that closed June 13, 2011, and it ultimately archived July 13, 2011. The announcement anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $455,750. The listed award ceiling is $455,750 and the award floor is $5,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
This notice is essentially a Notice of Intent to make a single-source award to Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (Montana FWP). The justification provided is that Montana FWP has unique qualifications and is the only state agency with the legal authority, jurisdiction, and operational responsibility to manage grizzly bears within Montana in support of the federal Grizzly Bear Recovery Plan. The announcement cites Department of the Interior Policy 505 DM 2.14 B (Unique Qualifications) as the basis for not conducting a competitive process. In practical terms, the agency is stating that no other organization can legally and effectively perform the required work because Montana FWP is the entity charged with responding to and managing human-bear conflicts statewide and has the necessary experience and capacity to capture and handle nuisance grizzly bears.
The work funded under this cooperative agreement focuses on direct grizzly bear management actions intended to reduce conflicts between people and bears while supporting recovery efforts. Key tasks include public outreach and education to help communities understand grizzly bear behavior, conflict prevention, and coexistence practices. The agreement also supports field operations such as capturing grizzly bears when necessary, relocating problem animals when appropriate, and monitoring bears after management actions. Monitoring may include tracking movements and behavior to assess whether relocation or other interventions are effective at minimizing repeat conflicts and improving outcomes for both public safety and bear conservation.
Overall, the grant is designed to strengthen on-the-ground implementation of grizzly bear recovery in Montana by supporting the agency that already holds the statutory responsibility and expertise for these activities. The opportunity falls under the Environment and Natural Resources activity category and is administered by the Fish and Wildlife Service, with the announcement listing a grants specialist contact for assistance accessing the full announcement.
