Opportunity Summary:
The "Insect ID" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: FWS R1 PIFO 2) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding announcement designed to support arthropod (insect and related invertebrate) identification work tied to a major natural resources survey effort on Pagan Island. During the summer of 2010, the U.S. Navy (NAVFAC Pacific) and USFWS planned to conduct targeted arthropod surveys as part of a broader natural history survey needed to complete a NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) report for Pagan Island. The core conservation purpose is to document and better understand native species, species of concern, and invasive species, with arthropods treated as an essential component of the island-wide biological baseline.
The primary deliverable funded through this opportunity is expert taxonomic identification of specimens collected during the field surveys. The work described calls for Bishop Museum staff to consult with NAVFAC and USFWS entomologists on survey activities and then identify collected specimens to the lowest taxonomic level possible (ideally down to species when feasible). The announcement emphasizes both completeness and timeliness: the expectation is to identify as many, if not all, specimens within the timeframe available for the NEPA-driven reporting schedule. Identifications are to be made using in-house expertise first, with outside specialists consulted when additional resolution is needed. The scale of the effort is substantial, with an estimated 400 to 600 species expected to require identification.
Administratively, the opportunity is offered as a Cooperative Agreement/Grant under CFDA 15.657 (Endangered Species Conservation - Recovery Implementation Funds). The agency anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $99,779 and an award ceiling of $99,779 (no stated minimum award amount). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, both those with and without 501(c)(3) status, provided they are not institutions of higher education. The notice was posted and created on May 19, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 24, 2010, and an archive date of June 23, 2010, indicating a short application window consistent with a time-sensitive field season and reporting timeline.
For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed contact is Curt Kessler at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (phone: 808-792-9465, email: curtkessler@fws.gov).
