Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F11AP00015) was issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) Southwest Region to cover practical participation costs for Jaguar Recovery Team meetings held in 2011. The jaguar (Panthera onca) has been protected federally for decades, first listed under the Endangered Species Conservation Act of 1969 and later carried forward as endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. While the species was discussed in the 1990 recovery plan for listed cats of Texas and Arizona (with emphasis on the ocelot), that older document only offered broad guidance about assessing jaguar status in the United States and Mexico and protecting potential habitat. It did not lay out clear, jaguar-specific recovery actions or measurable recovery criteria. Because of that gap, FWS began developing a more focused recovery strategy and recovery plan, especially concentrating on the jaguar in the northern edge of its range, where conservation questions and management needs can differ from those farther south.
The grant was designed to support the series of working meetings needed to produce recovery-related documents. Rather than funding fieldwork or long-term research directly, the award specifically targeted the logistics of getting the right experts and partners to the table. The recipient would use the funds to pay for travel and meeting-attendance expenses for Jaguar Recovery Team participants who were approved by the Service. Covered costs included airfare, meals, lodging, and other related travel expenses necessary for attendance. In practical terms, the grant functioned as participation assistance to ensure consistent, in-person collaboration among team members so they could draft, review, and refine the components of a recovery strategy and plan.
Administratively, this was a continuation-category grant in the environmental funding area, tied to CFDA 15.649 (Service Training and Technical Assistance, listed as a generic training category). FWS expected to make one award only, with total funding set at $48,411, and both the award ceiling and floor also fixed at $48,411, meaning the opportunity was structured as a single, set-amount grant rather than a range of possible award sizes. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied, so the selected organization would need to contribute some non-federal share consistent with the terms of the announcement.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on February 17, 2011, with an application closing date of February 25, 2011, and it was later archived on March 27, 2011. For questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Michael Dick, Biologist (IT), at 505-248-6670.
