Opportunity Summary:
The Kenai Peninsula Northern Pike Control grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00186) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service through a cooperative agreement. Its core purpose is to evaluate how effective environmental DNA (eDNA) detection methods are for finding invasive northern pike on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula. In practical terms, the work supported under this opportunity is aimed at improving early detection and monitoring approaches for an invasive fish species that can negatively affect native fish populations and aquatic ecosystems, which in turn can support more targeted and timely control efforts.
The opportunity sits within the broader funding activity areas of environment, natural resources, science and technology, and research and development, and it is listed under CFDA 15.608 (Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance). The agency anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $30,231. The award ceiling was also $30,231, and the award floor was $0, meaning proposals could request up to the full amount but there was no stated minimum request size. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which generally lowers the barrier to participation for eligible applicants.
Eligibility for this funding was limited to state governments. The announcement was posted on May 29, 2013, with the original and current closing date both set for June 13, 2013, indicating a relatively short application window. Because the instrument type is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, applicants should expect substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project, such as coordination on technical approach, deliverables, or implementation decisions, consistent with how cooperative agreements are typically administered.
For applicants or interested parties who needed help accessing the full announcement, the notice provided a direct contact: Katherine Smiley at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at 907-786-3412 or by email at KatherineSmiley@fws.gov. An additional information link was referenced as a "Single Source NOFA," indicating there was a primary official notice of funding availability containing the full requirements, scope, and submission instructions.
