Inventorying Monitoring Reptile Amphibian Communities in SE LA Refuges | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Inventorying Monitoring Reptile Amphibian Communities in SE LA Refuges" (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00422) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary research award focused on building foundational scientific information about reptile and amphibian populations in southeastern Louisiana National Wildlife Refuges. The core purpose is to generate baseline data on herpetofauna (reptiles and amphibians) that refuge managers can use to support planning, evaluate habitat conditions, and carry out longer-term biological assessments. In addition to collecting or compiling initial data, the work is intended to produce a practical and durable inventory and monitoring framework that can be repeated over time, so future surveys are comparable and trend data can be developed.

This posting is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award to a single source, meaning it is not a competitive funding opportunity and there is no full public solicitation attached. The Service states that it plans to make a cooperative agreement award to Dr. Kimberly Terrell, and it also notes that the decision not to compete the award is based on internal Departmental policy (referencing 505 DM 2.14(B)(2)) and is within the agency's discretion. Although the listing shows "Eligible Applicants: Unrestricted," the accompanying eligibility language clarifies that the notice is not a request for applications and therefore is not open for other applicants to submit proposals.

Administratively, the award is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, with the funding instrument type identified as a grant (implemented as a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial federal involvement in project coordination compared to a standard grant). The opportunity anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $60,000, which is also listed as the award ceiling. The award floor is shown as $0, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA listing associated with the funding is 15.650, "Research Grants (Generic)."

Key dates indicate the notice was posted and created on September 3, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 8, 2014, and an archive date of September 15, 2014. Because this is a single-source notice rather than a competitive announcement, the closing date functions more as an administrative posting window than an application deadline for the public.

The deliverables implied by the description include (1) baseline inventory information on reptiles and amphibians in the target refuge system and (2) a robust inventorying and monitoring plan that relies on standardized survey protocols. Standardization is important in wildlife monitoring because consistent methods reduce bias and allow managers to compare results across sites and across years, improving the usefulness of the data for refuge planning and conservation decision-making.
