Opportunity Summary:
The "NOI Desert Big Horn Sheep" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWS R8 DNWR 001) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) focused on desert bighorn sheep conservation and management in and around the Desert National Wildlife Refuge. It is structured as a cooperative agreement grant under CFDA 15.608 (Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance), which typically means the federal agency expects to remain actively involved in the work rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back.
The project described is a collaborative assessment of the current status of the desert bighorn sheep population. The FWS and the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) are working alongside the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), and the White Mountain Research Center at the University of California, San Diego. The work is intended to evaluate the herd's overall health and population structure, identify and document causes of mortality with special attention to mountain lion predation, and assess relevant habitat conditions. The underlying purpose is practical: once the assessment is completed, the results are expected to produce critical, decision-ready information that can directly support protection, conservation, and long-term management actions for desert bighorn sheep within the refuge.
Only state governments are listed as eligible applicants, which aligns with NDOW being the primary state wildlife agency partner. The funding range indicates an award floor of $1 and an award ceiling of $100,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Key dates show it was posted and created on July 15, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 22, 2010, and an archive date of August 21, 2010, indicating the opportunity is historical and no longer open.
For applicants or stakeholders who needed access to the full announcement at the time, the listed point of contact was Laurie Simons at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (phone 702-515-5450, email lauriesimons@fws.gov).
