Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Natural Resource Damage Assessment" (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00329) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service focused on California seabird colony surveys. It is offered under CFDA 15.658, which covers Natural Resource Damage Assessment, Restoration, and Implementation. The activity fits within the broader natural resources category and is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out (for example, coordination on study design, field priorities, data standards, or reporting).
This notice is specifically described as a Notice of Intent to make a single-source award, with no competition expected. In practice, that means the agency had already identified a particular recipient it intended to fund, and the posting serves more as a formal public notice than an open call for proposals. The eligible applicant type listed is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, indicating that the intended recipient was likely a public university or a similar state-run academic institution with relevant seabird research capacity.
The funding level is relatively small and targeted: the estimated total funding is $29,802, and the award ceiling is also $29,802 (with an award floor of $0). Only one award was expected. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute additional non-federal funds to receive the award. Key dates show the opportunity was posted July 28, 2014, created August 5, 2014, originally set to close August 1, 2014, and then extended to a current closing date of August 8, 2014, before being archived on October 28, 2014.
The stated project purpose, "California seabird colony surveys," suggests field or monitoring work to document seabird colonies in California. In the context of Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA), seabird colony survey data are often used to establish baseline conditions, detect changes over time, and support injury assessment and restoration planning following environmental incidents. While the posting itself is brief, the implication is that the funded work would produce standardized survey results and associated documentation suitable for NRDA-related analysis and decision-making.
For further details, the opportunity pointed applicants to the Grants.gov listing and referenced an attached Notice of Intent (NOI) for specifics. The contact provided for access issues or questions was Ellen Tong at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (phone 510-792-0222; email EllenTong@fws.gov).
