Opportunity Summary:
The MONTANA WOLF MONITORING opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWS R6 ES08HE009) is a discretionary, environment and natural resources cooperative agreement issued by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Region 6. Its purpose is to continue federal support for ongoing wolf monitoring work in Montana through an existing cooperative agreement with Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP). In practical terms, this is a continuation action rather than a new competitive grant: the federal government is indicating it plans to keep funding the same state partner to carry out established monitoring activities related to wolves in Montana.
A key point is that this announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. It is a single-source award, meaning the only eligible applicant is the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks agency (listed under eligible applicants as state governments, with eligibility specified as a single-source award to Montana FWP). The notice also indicates there is one expected award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this effort.
The timing information shows the notice was posted and created on May 16, 2008. The agreement was set to run until July 1, 2010, or until wolf monitoring funds were no longer available, whichever happened first. The original and current closing date are both listed as July 1, 2010, and the archive date is July 31, 2010, reflecting when the opportunity would be retired from active listings.
While the general public cannot apply directly for this funding, the announcement notes that organizations or individuals interested in potential subawards under the cooperative agreement should contact the Montana FWP project manager. Two phone numbers are provided for Montana FWP (406-841-4016 and 406-444-3791), and a USFWS contact is also listed: Ed Bangs at 406-449-5225. For issues accessing the full announcement electronically, the notice provides an additional administrative contact: Carol Beatty, Financial Assistance Officer, at 303-236-4320. An additional information link is referenced as "Wolf Monitoring in Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho," suggesting broader context or related monitoring efforts in the region, even though this particular award is focused on Montana and is structured as a continuation of an existing agreement.
