Opportunity Summary:
The Northwest CT Stream Habitat Continuity Assessment (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00147) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) discretionary funding action announced on April 10, 2014, focused on natural resources work in northwest Connecticut. The project is centered on the Housatonic River watershed, specifically targeting cold water streams and their associated habitat conditions. The overall purpose is to protect and enhance the ecological integrity of these streams, which typically support sensitive aquatic life and depend on stable flows, clean water, and connected stream corridors.
This notice is not an open competitive grant solicitation. It is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award to a single source, meaning USFWS indicated it planned to make a cooperative agreement award directly to one organization: Housatonic Valley Association, Inc. Because it is a single-source intent, there is no full announcement package associated with the posting and no broad application process comparable to typical grants. The very short posting window reflects that reality, with an original and current closing date of April 14, 2014.
The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally signals that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.658 (Natural Resource Damage Assessment, Restoration and Implementation). The estimated total funding amount listed is $150,000. The posting shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which is sometimes how certain notices are entered into systems when the intent is to communicate an expected action rather than run a standard competitive opportunity with a defined ceiling per applicant.
In terms of eligibility, the listing references nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). However, because this is a single-source intent to award, the practical recipient is identified in the notice itself, and other eligible entities would not be competing for this particular award. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated.
For additional details, the notice points users to Grants.gov and provides a federal point of contact for access issues: Artela Jacobs at 404-679-7197 or ArtelaJacobs@fws.gov.
