Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Natural Resource Damage Assessment, Restoration and Implementation" (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00025) is not an open funding competition and is not seeking applications from the public. Instead, it is a formal Notice of Intent by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS) to make a single-source, non-competitive award. Because it is not a solicitation, there is no full announcement package, no application instructions, and no closing date in the usual sense; both the original and current closing date fields explicitly state that it is not a request for applications. The agency notes that the decision not to compete the award follows internal U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service policy (516 FW 6), which governs when and how the Service can justify non-competitive financial assistance actions.
The planned award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the funded work (for example, collaboration on planning, technical input, coordination, or shared oversight), rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal participation. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA number listed is 15.658, placing the action within the broader federal assistance framework tied to fish and wildlife and natural resource-related efforts.
This notice identifies the intended recipient as the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey and describes the project purpose as Piping Plover Beach Habitat Restoration Planning. In practical terms, that means the work is focused on planning activities that support restoration or improvement of beach habitat conditions for piping plovers, a coastal shorebird species that relies on sandy beach and dune environments for nesting and foraging. Planning in this context can include activities such as assessing habitat conditions, identifying restoration needs and options, coordinating with landowners and local partners, developing restoration designs or approaches, and laying out implementation steps and monitoring considerations, although the notice itself does not provide a detailed scope of work beyond the project title and purpose statement.
Several standard grant listing fields are either blank or effectively not applicable because this is not an open opportunity. For example, the award ceiling is listed as 0, and the expected number of awards is not provided, consistent with the fact that the agency is signaling an intent to fund a single recipient rather than running a competitive process with published award ranges. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and was created and posted on November 6, 2015, serving primarily as a transparency notice that the government plans to proceed with a non-competitive cooperative agreement for this specific restoration planning effort.
