Opportunity Summary:
This grant notice, titled "North Carolina State University Cooperative Agreement" (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00447), is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement instrument. It falls under the Natural Resources, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development activity category. The Service states that it intends to make a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $46,999. No cost sharing or matching is required.
The key point of the notice is that it is not an open competition and not a request for applications. USFWS describes it explicitly as a "Notice of Intent to Award to a Single Source," meaning the agency has already identified the recipient and does not plan to solicit proposals from other entities. While the eligibility field is listed as "Unrestricted," the accompanying eligibility explanation clarifies that the decision not to compete the award is based on departmental policy (cited as 505 DM 2.14,B.(2)) and is within the agency's discretion. In practical terms, this means other organizations are not being invited to apply, even though the listing may look like a standard funding opportunity record.
The intended recipient is North Carolina State University. The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to develop a South Atlantic Ecosystem Model designed to better connect inland and coastal marine management strategies and actions to real-world outcomes. Specifically, the model is meant to help relate management decisions to potential resource impacts (ecological and environmental effects) and economic impacts in estuarine and coastal marine environments. In other words, the work is aimed at building an analytical or decision-support tool that can link what happens upstream and on land with what happens in coastal and nearshore systems, and then translate those connections into implications for both natural resources and economics in the South Atlantic region.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on August 25, 2015, with an original and current closing date of September 2, 2015, and an archive date of September 9, 2015. Because this is a single-source intent-to-award notice with no full announcement, the "closing date" functions more like an administrative posting window than a deadline for competing applications.
The listing includes CFDA number 15.674 (National Fire Plan Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance), though the described project focus is ecosystem modeling for estuarine and coastal marine management linkages in the South Atlantic. Anyone needing help accessing related materials is directed to contact Teresa Crain, Grants Management Specialist at USFWS, at 404-679-4124 or teresacrain@fws.gov.
