Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "NV Waterfowl Association Teaching Youths to Collect Data" (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00189) was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance program (CFDA 15.608). It was designed to support a project in Nevada where the Nevada Waterfowl Association would teach young people how to collect wildlife-related data by working directly alongside biologists. The central idea was hands-on learning: youths would gain real experience by observing and participating in field activities that involve handling and interacting with wildlife under professional supervision, helping them understand how biological data are gathered and used in wildlife management.
The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which generally means the agency expected to have more active involvement than with a standard grant, such as coordinating with the recipient on technical or programmatic aspects of the work. The announcement anticipated a single award with total funding of $5,250, and the award ceiling and floor were both set at $5,250, indicating a fixed award amount rather than a range. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, so the selected applicant would not have needed to contribute additional non-federal funds to meet a match requirement.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on June 1, 2012, with an application closing date of June 15, 2012, and it was archived on June 29, 2012. The activity category was listed as Environment, reflecting the conservation and wildlife management focus of the project.
For applicants or others needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Brenda Krone at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (phone 775-861-6314, email brendakrone@fws.gov).
