Opportunity Summary:
The Hot Creek grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: FWS R8 LNFHC FY11 006) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding notice issued as a Notice of Intent to Award. The project focus is environmental and natural resources work, specifically fish and aquatic habitat management in Hot Creek, Nevada. The central purpose is to reduce or eliminate habitat conditions that support nonnative fish by actively creating or improving habitat for the Moorman White River springfish, a native species. In practical terms, the project is framed around shifting the habitat balance in favor of the native springfish so that nonnative fish are less able to persist, while the springfish has better, more suitable areas to survive and reproduce.
The award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates a hands-on partnership model where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during project implementation (for example, coordination on technical decisions, monitoring approaches, or reporting). Only one award was expected, and the funding amount was fixed: an award floor of $100,000 and an award ceiling of $100,000, meaning the intended total federal funding for the project was $100,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient was not required to contribute non-federal match funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, aligning with the site context because the Nevada Department of Wildlife manages the land where Hot Creek occurs. The listing is tied to CFDA (now often referred to as Assistance Listings) number 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance, which supports projects that conserve fish and wildlife resources and their habitats through management actions and related technical work.
The timeline indicates the opportunity was posted on June 23, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 7, 2011, and it was archived on August 6, 2011. Because it is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award, it reads less like an open competitive solicitation and more like an announcement that the agency planned to make a specific award consistent with its program authorities and priorities.
For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed contact was Mistylynn Summers at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at 775-265-2425 or by email at mistysummers@fws.gov.
