Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "NOTICE OF INTENT - WILDLIFE DISEASE RELATED ASSISTANCE PROVIDED BY SCWDS" (Funding Opportunity Number USGS 16 FA 0393), is a USGS discretionary cooperative agreement designed to continue ongoing support for the Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study (SCWDS). The purpose is to maintain and strengthen wildlife health services that SCWDS provides to federal and state wildlife agencies across the southeastern United States, while also supporting the broader national conservation community. In practice, this funding is aimed at keeping an established regional wildlife disease capacity operating, rather than launching a brand-new program.
The work supported under the agreement aligns with the mission of the National Wildlife Health Center (NWHC) and is carried out in close coordination between SCWDS and NWHC. The core services emphasized in the notice include wildlife disease diagnostics, on-the-ground field investigations, technical consultations for agency staff and partners, and informational support related to wildlife health issues. These services are meant to help agencies detect, understand, and respond to disease events affecting wildlife, and to provide expert guidance that can inform management decisions and conservation actions.
A key point in the description is SCWDS's long-standing collaboration and service footprint. The notice highlights that SCWDS has worked cooperatively with the National Wildlife Health Center and has provided support to more than 75 national wildlife refuges managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Beyond refuges, SCWDS assistance has also extended to a wide range of partners and land management contexts, including national parks, national forests, state and federal research laboratories, state agriculture and public health departments, state parks, colleges and universities, military installations, and even foreign agriculture, wildlife, and public health agencies. This underscores that the program functions as a technical hub that can respond to diverse wildlife health questions and outbreaks, including those with potential implications for conservation, agriculture, and public health.
Administratively, the opportunity is issued by DOI-USGS (AgencyName: DOI-USGS1) under CFDA 15.808, with "Science and Technology and other Research and Development" listed as the activity category. The eligible applicants are limited to public and state controlled institutions of higher education, which fits the cooperative study model SCWDS is known for. The funding details indicate an expected single award, with an award ceiling of $131,500. The notice was posted and created on January 20, 2016, with both the original and current closing date listed as February 5, 2016, indicating a short application window and reinforcing that this is a continuation-style award supporting an existing partnership and service function.
