Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "NOI IUCN" (Funding Opportunity Number FWSIA01) was issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Department of the Interior as a discretionary grant in the environmental category. It was posted on March 26, 2010, and had a very short application window, closing on March 30, 2010, with the notice later archived on April 29, 2010. The opportunity anticipated a single award, and the total funding amount was fixed at $30,000, with the award floor and ceiling both set at exactly $30,000. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, meaning the recipient would not need to contribute additional non-federal funds to receive the full award amount.
This notice was structured as a single-source award rather than a competitive grant. The justification comes directly from Department of the Interior Manual Chapter 505, Section 2, which lays out the circumstances in which the Department can legally and appropriately issue a cooperative agreement or grant to only one recipient. In this case, the award was intended to support work connected to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), an international agreement to which the United States is a party. The notice states that the intended recipient is the only organization authorized to carry out the specific work described, and that the single-source decision is based on that organization s unique qualifications.
Eligibility was therefore extremely limited. Although the opportunity category lists eligible applicants as "Others" with clarification in the eligibility field, the announcement makes it explicit that the only eligible applicant is the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). In practical terms, this means the funding was not open for general competition among nonprofits, universities, state agencies, or other entities; it functioned as a formal notification that the government planned to make an award directly to IUCN for this particular purpose.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is tied to CFDA number 15.649, listed as "Service Training and Technical Assistance (Generic Training)." That classification suggests the funded work likely included technical support, coordination, or specialized services rather than, for example, construction, land acquisition, or a broad research competition. The central purpose, however, remains the same throughout the notice: providing funding for business related to CITES implementation or support activities, carried out by IUCN as the uniquely qualified and authorized organization.
For assistance accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed contact was Melinda Clarke, an International Affairs Specialist, designated specifically to help with electronic access problems rather than programmatic questions.
