Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Model-based projection of the genetic effects of natural recolonization of Gila Trout" (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00271) is a U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS) notice describing an intended award rather than an open competition. It is set up as a discretionary Cooperative Agreement in the research and development space, specifically under natural resources and science and technology. The central goal is to support a computer-based simulation study that can help managers better understand how natural recolonization influences the genetics of Gila Trout populations, and how those genetic outcomes relate to the species long-term persistence.
This notice is specifically a single-source action being issued through the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Study Unit (CP-CESU). The recipient identified in the notice is the University of New Mexico Board of Regents, with the work to be carried out by the University of New Mexico Department of Biology, Museum of Southwestern Biology, Division of Fishes. Because it is single-source, the notice signals the agency intent to fund that named institution rather than solicit proposals broadly from multiple applicants, even though the general eligibility category listed is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education.
The technical purpose of the project is to develop and run a simulation framework to project genetic effects associated with natural recolonization and to use those projections to inform restoration strategies. In practical terms, the work is aimed at improving the probability that Gila Trout persist over the long term by restoring or reinforcing metapopulation dynamics. Metapopulation dynamics refer to a network of populations across multiple stream segments or habitats where local populations may blink out and later be re-established through dispersal and recolonization. For species like Gila Trout, which can exist in fragmented habitats and face episodic disturbances, rebuilding functional connections and recolonization processes can be critical. A modeling effort like this is generally intended to test different scenarios, such as how varying rates of movement, recolonization, and local extinctions might affect genetic diversity, inbreeding risk, and overall resilience across the broader population network.
Financially, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $80,000 and anticipates a single award. The posting date and creation date are both June 7, 2016, with an original and current closing date of June 12, 2016, reflecting a short public notice window typical of intent-to-award announcements rather than an extended open application period. The opportunity is associated with CFDA numbers 15.678, which correspond to DOI-FWS assistance programs. Overall, the funding is designed to produce management-relevant simulation results that can guide actions intended to stabilize and strengthen Gila Trout populations by accounting for how recolonization and connectivity shape the species genetic health over time.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the title of this grant opportunity?
The opportunity is titled "Model-based projection of the genetic effects of natural recolonization of Gila Trout."
What is the Funding Opportunity Number (FON)?
The Funding Opportunity Number is F16AS00271.
Which federal agency is associated with this notice?
This notice is issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS).
Is this an open competitive grant solicitation?
No. The notice describes an intended award rather than an open competition. It is presented as a single-source action, signaling the agency's intent to fund a named recipient instead of soliciting proposals broadly.
What type of award is being used?
The intended award instrument is a discretionary Cooperative Agreement.
What is the project area or focus of the work?
The project is in the research and development space and is specifically tied to natural resources and science and technology topics.
What is the main goal of the project described in the notice?
The goal is to support a computer-based simulation study to help managers understand how natural recolonization influences the genetics of Gila Trout populations and how those genetic outcomes relate to the species' long-term persistence.
What will the funded work produce or deliver?
The notice describes development and use of a simulation framework to project genetic effects associated with natural recolonization, with results intended to be management-relevant and to inform restoration strategies.
What does "natural recolonization" mean in this context?
Based on the notice description, natural recolonization refers to populations being re-established through dispersal and recolonization processes, rather than only through direct human reintroduction, and evaluating how those processes affect genetics over time.
What does the notice mean by "metapopulation dynamics"?
It refers to a network of populations across multiple stream segments or habitats where local populations may go extinct and later be re-established through dispersal and recolonization.
Why is metapopulation thinking relevant to Gila Trout?
The notice indicates Gila Trout can exist in fragmented habitats and face episodic disturbances. Restoring or reinforcing functional connections and recolonization processes across the network can be important for long-term persistence.
What kinds of questions is the simulation work expected to explore?
The notice indicates the modeling effort is generally intended to test scenarios such as how varying rates of movement, recolonization, and local extinctions might affect genetic diversity, inbreeding risk, and resilience across the broader population network.
How is this project intended to support conservation or restoration decisions?
It is intended to produce simulation results that guide actions aimed at stabilizing and strengthening Gila Trout populations by accounting for how recolonization and connectivity shape genetic health over time.
What is the award ceiling (maximum funding amount) listed?
The award ceiling is $80,000.
How many awards does the notice anticipate?
The notice anticipates a single award.
Who is the identified recipient for this single-source intended award?
The recipient identified in the notice is the University of New Mexico Board of Regents.
Which unit at the University of New Mexico is expected to carry out the work?
The work is described as being carried out by the University of New Mexico Department of Biology, Museum of Southwestern Biology, Division of Fishes.
What mechanism or partnership framework is referenced for issuing this action?
The notice states the action is being issued through the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Study Unit (CP-CESU).
What is the general eligibility category listed in the notice?
The notice lists the general eligibility category as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education.
If eligibility includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, can other universities apply?
The notice is described as a single-source intended award to a named recipient. Based on that description, it is not presented as a broad call for applications, even though an eligibility category is listed.
What is the posting date for the notice?
The posting date is June 7, 2016.
What is the creation date for the notice?
The creation date is June 7, 2016.
What is the closing date shown on the notice?
The original and current closing date is June 12, 2016.
Why is the notice window so short?
The description indicates this is typical of intent-to-award announcements rather than extended open application periods, consistent with the notice being an intended single-source action.
What CFDA number is associated with this opportunity?
The opportunity is associated with CFDA 15.678, corresponding to DOI-FWS assistance programs.
What species is the project focused on?
The project focuses on Gila Trout.
What is the central scientific topic being modeled?
The notice centers on projecting genetic effects (for example, implications for genetic diversity and inbreeding risk) associated with natural recolonization across connected populations.
How does the notice connect genetics to long-term persistence?
It states the simulation is meant to help managers understand how recolonization-driven genetic outcomes relate to the species' long-term persistence and to improve the probability that Gila Trout persist over time.
