Opportunity Summary:
The Kentucky Natural Lands Trust opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00248) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS) notice of intent to make a single-source award, meaning the agency is signaling that it plans to fund one specific recipient rather than run an open, competitive process. There is no full funding announcement attached to this notice, which typically indicates the work is a continuation of an existing relationship or a specialized need where the agency has determined a particular organization is uniquely positioned to carry it out. Although the listing shows eligibility as "unrestricted" in a general sense, the text makes clear the intended recipient is the Kentucky Natural Lands Trust, and the expected number of awards is one.
The planned funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally involves substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project period compared to a standard grant. The purpose of the award is to continue an ongoing partnership focused on administering the Kentucky Imperiled Bat Conservation Fund. Based on the title and description, the core activities likely revolve around managing and deploying funds to support conservation actions for imperiled bat species in Kentucky, such as supporting habitat protection, mitigation and conservation measures tied to development impacts, and related conservation planning and coordination. The opportunity falls under environment and research-related activity categories and references CFDA numbers 15.657 and 15.660, which are associated with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wildlife and habitat conservation assistance programs.
Key administrative details reflect the narrow, time-bound nature of the notice: it was created and posted on May 31, 2016, with a closing date of June 7, 2016. The award ceiling is listed as 1 (as provided in the source data), and only one award is anticipated. Overall, this notice is best understood as an announcement of the agency's intention to continue funding a specific partner to manage a dedicated conservation fund, rather than an invitation for new applicants to propose competing projects.
