Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Panther Prey Research" (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00446) is a discretionary funding action from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service. It is set up as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The activity areas tied to the opportunity are broad and research-oriented, spanning education, environment, science and technology, and other research and development, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.649.
What makes this notice unusual compared to most competitive grant postings is that it is explicitly a notice of intent to make a single-source award. In other words, the Fish and Wildlife Service is signaling that it plans to fund one specific recipient rather than run an open competition, and it also states that there is no full announcement associated with the notice. Even though the eligibility field is listed as "unrestricted" (open to any type of entity, subject to any clarifications), the single-source language indicates that, in practice, the agency is not soliciting proposals broadly and does not expect multiple applications.
The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to support the development of key planning and strategy documents connected to national wildlife refuges in Florida and the surrounding landscape. Specifically, the work is intended to assist with planning documents that include the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP), the Southwest Florida Landscape Conservation Design (LCD), and a communication strategy for Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge. Taken together, those deliverables point to a project focused less on field research in the narrow sense and more on conservation planning support, landscape-level design considerations, and communications planning that can guide refuge management and broader conservation decisions relevant to panther-related ecosystems.
In terms of timing and scale, the opportunity record shows it was created on September 2, 2016, with an original closing date of September 8, 2016, reflecting a very short window typical of single-source notices rather than a full competitive cycle. The listing indicates one expected award, and the award ceiling is shown as 1 (as written in the source data), reinforcing that the agency anticipated a single funded agreement under this notice.
