Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "International Symposium on Genetic Biocontrol of Invasive Fish" (Funding Opportunity Number: CAP UM 2010) was a discretionary grant issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the environment activity category. Its purpose was narrowly defined: to provide financial support for the University of Minnesota to organize and host an international symposium focused on genetic biocontrol approaches for invasive fish. The symposium was requested by the Gila River Basin Native Fish Conservation Program, and the grant funding was intended specifically to support the planning and execution of that conference effort.
This opportunity was structured as a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. The award floor and ceiling were both set at $50,000, meaning the agency anticipated one grant at a fixed amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. The program was associated with CFDA number 15.657, Endangered Species Conservation - Recovery Implementation Funds, which signals that the work aligns with efforts to support endangered species conservation and recovery implementation, even though the immediate activity described here was a symposium rather than direct field implementation.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, but the announcement made clear that this action was intended to be sole-sourced to the University of Minnesota. In practical terms, that meant the agency was not seeking competing applications from other universities or organizations. The posting date and creation date were both June 9, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 30, 2010, and the listing explicitly indicated it was not accepting applications due to the planned sole-source approach. The opportunity was archived on July 30, 2010.
For applicants or members of the public looking for administrative details, the announcement referenced Grants.gov for the full posting and included a contact for access issues: Lesley Fitzpatrick, Fish and Wildlife Biologist, at 602-242-0210 (with a note referencing a help desk). Overall, the grant was a targeted, one-time support award meant to underwrite an expert convening on genetic biocontrol strategies for invasive fish, initiated at the request of a regional native fish conservation partnership and carried out by a specific university organizer.
