Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Implementation of the Monitoring Plan for the American Peregrine Falcon in Utah" (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00158) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Region 6 discretionary grant intended to support continued, on-the-ground monitoring of American Peregrine Falcons in Utah during the 2015 nesting season. The core purpose is to carry out tasks that advance the established monitoring plan and to collect standardized nesting-season data that can be used to evaluate population trends over time. By keeping the monitoring effort consistent across years, the USFWS can better detect meaningful changes in the species status, including early signs of decline or shifts in distribution, productivity, or occupancy that might warrant management attention.
This funding is structured as a single-source award rather than a competitive opportunity. USFWS explicitly notes that the award is authorized under 505 DM 2 and is intended to go to the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR). The reason given is continuity and demonstrated capability: UDWR previously completed comparable statewide peregrine monitoring efforts for USFWS in 2003, 2006, 2009, and 2012. Because of that prior work and the value of maintaining consistent methods and institutional knowledge, this notice is not a request for proposals and the government does not intend to accept proposals from other entities. In practical terms, the only eligible applicant described is UDWR, listed under an "Others" eligibility category with the additional clarification that this is a directed, single-source action.
Financially, the opportunity provides a fixed amount of support, with an estimated total funding of $16,000. The award ceiling and award floor are both $16,000, indicating that USFWS expected to make one award at that exact amount rather than a range of potential award sizes. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning UDWR would not be required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant. The opportunity falls under CFDA number 15.647, Migratory Bird Conservation, which aligns with the monitoring and conservation focus for a migratory raptor species.
The timeline presented in the announcement shows it was posted and created on April 1, 2015, with an original and current closing date of April 8, 2015, and an archive date of May 1, 2015. That short window is typical of single-source notices where the intent is to document the planned award and provide public transparency rather than solicit competitive applications. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the funding activity category is listed as "Other," with the explanation clarifying that the main distinguishing feature is the single-source nature of the award to UDWR.
Programmatically, the work supported is focused on implementing the Peregrine Falcon monitoring plan in Utah and gathering nesting-season monitoring data in 2015. While the announcement does not enumerate field protocols in detail, the phrasing indicates the effort is meant to generate trend data, which generally implies repeatable measures such as site occupancy, breeding activity, nest success, and productivity, collected in a way that can be compared to prior monitoring years. The end use of the data is agency-level status detection: USFWS wants reliable information that helps it track whether the population is stable, improving, or showing signs of change that could affect conservation priorities.
