Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "NE REGIONAL PANEL OF THE ANSTF" (Funding Opportunity Number FWS 2011 94100 1 0116) is a continuation award administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. It is designed to maintain ongoing support for the Northeast Regional Panel associated with the Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force (ANSTF). The core purpose is to ensure continued, stable implementation of Section 1203 of the Nonindigenous Aquatic Nuisance Prevention and Control Act of 1990 (NANPCA), which is the federal framework that supports regional coordination and action to prevent and manage aquatic nuisance species.
This funding is explicitly structured as a single-source continuation grant rather than a competitive opportunity. The notice states that it is not a request for applications, meaning outside organizations should not expect an open competition or a standard application process. The Fish and Wildlife Service justifies the decision not to compete the award under Department policy for continuations (referenced as 505 DM 2.14, B), emphasizing that the work to be funded is a necessary continuation of an activity already in progress. Competing the award would, in the agency's view, risk disrupting continuity and could adversely affect successful completion of the ongoing effort. In practice, this indicates the agency intends to continue funding the same recipient to preserve institutional knowledge, established partnerships, and uninterrupted coordination across the region.
The identified recipient entity is the Northeast Aquatic Nuisance Species Council, which has received prior awards for the past three years to support the Northeast Regional Panel. The description makes clear that continued support through this specific organization is considered integral to maintaining the momentum and effectiveness of the panel's work. While the announcement does not detail work tasks line-by-line, the stated intent implies the funds support the regional panel's coordination functions such as multi-jurisdictional collaboration, planning and prioritization, information sharing, and implementation support tied to NANPCA Section 1203 objectives.
Financially, the opportunity is straightforward and narrowly defined. The estimated total funding is $50,000, with an award ceiling and floor both set at $50,000, indicating the agency expects to make exactly one award at that amount. The opportunity lists an expected number of awards as 1, reinforcing that this is a single continuation action. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
The timeline reflects a short posting window typical of continuation notices. The opportunity was posted and created on July 20, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 26, 2011, and it was archived on August 25, 2011. Because the notice is not a request for applications, these dates function more as administrative publication markers than as a true competitive submission deadline. The funding instrument type is listed as a grant, and the opportunity category is continuation. The funding activity category is coded as Employment, Labor and Training, which appears to be a classification tag in the federal system and does not necessarily describe the full scope of aquatic nuisance species coordination work.
