Opportunity Summary:
The Monarch Joint Venture Program Support opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00191) was a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) discretionary funding notice intended to provide financial support for the Monarch Joint Venture (MJV). The core purpose of the award was to fund an MJV Science Coordinator position, cover basic operating costs, and advance a set of collaborative projects carried out jointly by USFWS and the MJV. The activity aligns with natural resources work and is tied to CFDA 15.649, described as Service Training and Technical Assistance (Generic Training), reflecting the coordination, technical assistance, and partnership-building emphasis of the effort.
The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a more hands-on federal role than a standard grant, including substantial involvement from the agency during implementation. USFWS anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000 and an award ceiling of $100,000 (no stated minimum award floor). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was not structured as an open competition. The notice explicitly stated there was not an application process and functioned as a Notice of Intent to make a single-source award to the University of Minnesota. The single-source approach was justified under Department of the Interior policy citation 505 DM 2.14 (B4). The opportunity was posted on April 21, 2015, with a closing date of April 30, 2015, and it was archived on May 1, 2015.
For administrative reference, the opportunity was hosted through Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Tracy Mccleaf (304-876-7781, TracyMcCleaf@fws.gov).
