Opportunity Summary:
This grant record is a Notice of Intent to Award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), meaning the agency is publicly stating its plan to make a specific award and is not running an open, competitive solicitation. There is no full funding announcement attached to this notice, and it is not structured as an opportunity where multiple applicants submit proposals for consideration. Instead, USFWS indicates it intends to issue a single Cooperative Agreement to a named organization, The Nature Conservancy, to carry out a defined set of conservation and technical mapping activities in the Gulf of Maine region.
The planned award is a discretionary Cooperative Agreement in the Environment activity area, with an expected number of awards listed as one. The total funding amount is fixed at $57,000, shown as both the award ceiling and the award floor, which usually signals a single, set-aside project budget rather than a range of possible awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement identified for the recipient. The assistance listing reference connected to this action is CFDA 15.630, which is associated with the Coastal Program.
The purpose of the agreement is to support habitat protection and restoration initiatives tied to focus areas described in two draft national strategic plans: the National Strategic Plan for the Coastal Program (draft) for the Gulf of Maine, and the National Strategic Plan for the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program (draft) for the Gulf of Maine. In practical terms, the work described is primarily technical and planning-support oriented. It includes completing mapping components of the Northeast Habitat Classification and Mapping project, developing species habitat models, and then applying those models to representative species within the Gulf of Maine watershed. Taken together, these tasks point to building or refining spatial data products and analytical tools that can guide conservation decisions, prioritize restoration or protection efforts, and improve consistency in how habitats are classified and mapped across the region.
Eligibility in the record is broadly described as limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but the narrative makes clear the intended recipient is The Nature Conservancy. The posting date and creation date are both November 17, 2009, with an original and current closing date of November 18, 2009, and an archive date of December 18, 2009. Those very short posting-to-closing timelines are typical of intent-to-award notices, since the action is informational rather than a standard application window.
For administrative or access issues, the notice provides a point of contact: Christal Cutler, Contract Specialist, at (413) 253-8233, listed specifically as a contact for electronic errors or difficulty accessing the announcement materials.
