Opportunity Summary:
The Monitor and manage wolves on tribal lands opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: FWS R6 TRIBALWOLFMANAGEMENT) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding program offered through cooperative agreements to support wolf monitoring and management activities on specific tribal lands in the Northern Rocky Mountains (NRM) region. The central goal is to provide financial assistance that helps the participating tribes carry out on-the-ground wolf management and monitoring in ways that also help the Service meet its responsibility to track the status of the NRM wolf population under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). A key practical emphasis of the work is reducing and responding to wolf-related livestock damage by improving management actions and situational awareness of wolf activity.
This opportunity is explicitly structured as single-source cooperative agreements, meaning it is not a general open competition. Eligibility is limited to three named tribal governments that already have wolf management plans in place for their respective lands: the Blackfeet Tribe, the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, and the Wind River Tribe. The announcement underscores that these tribal plans and tribal participation directly support the Fish and Wildlife Service in carrying out ESA-related monitoring and recovery implementation responsibilities, particularly by extending monitoring coverage and management capacity onto tribal jurisdictions where wolves occur.
Funding for the opportunity is relatively small and evenly divided across the expected awards. The total estimated funding is $30,000, with three anticipated awards. Each award is set at $10,000, with both the award ceiling and award floor listed as $10,000, indicating fixed-size awards rather than a variable range. The associated CFDA listing is 15.657, Endangered Species Conservation - Recovery Implementation Funds, aligning the purpose of the program with endangered species recovery and conservation implementation work.
Cost sharing is not required for recipients, but the announcement notes that matching funds are encouraged. In other words, tribes are not obligated to contribute additional funds to participate, but proposals or project budgets that incorporate complementary tribal resources or other funding sources may be viewed favorably or may extend the effectiveness of the work. The announcement also notes that funding is contingent on the availability of funds, so actual awards depend on appropriations and agency budget conditions at the time of issuance.
The timeline in the source data reflects a narrow posting and closing window typical of archived or single-source announcements. The opportunity was posted and created on August 23, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 24, 2010, and it was archived on September 23, 2010. The awarding agency is the Fish and Wildlife Service, and the activity area is categorized under Environment and Natural Resources.
