Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), Region 7 (Alaska), announced a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Population model of wolves on and near Prince of Wales Island, southeastern Alaska." The project sits within the agency's Fisheries and Ecological Services program area, specifically tied to the Endangered Species Program and broader work supporting the conservation of threatened and endangered species. In practical terms, the grant is aimed at developing or applying population modeling tools to better understand wolf populations in and around Prince of Wales Island, an area where reliable population estimates and forecasting can be important for management decisions, conservation planning, and evaluating potential risks to wildlife populations.
This opportunity was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning FWS anticipated substantial involvement in the work beyond simply providing funding. The funding activity category was listed as Natural Resources, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development, reflecting a technical research focus rather than on-the-ground implementation alone. The total planned award amount was fixed: an estimated total funding level of $59,437, with the award ceiling and award floor both set at $59,437. Only one award was expected.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, indicating that the work was intended to be carried out by an academic or similarly situated public university entity with the capacity to conduct quantitative modeling and related ecological research. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, so the recipient would not need to provide additional non-federal dollars as a condition of receiving the award.
Administratively, the announcement was posted and created on February 13, 2015, with an original and current closing date of February 23, 2015, and an archive date of February 23, 2016. The notice explicitly stated that the agreement was to be awarded without competition, signaling that FWS intended to make a sole-source award rather than run an open competitive process. The opportunity was associated with CFDA number 15.649 (Service Training and Technical Assistance - Generic Training), which the agency used for this type of support activity.
For additional details, FWS pointed applicants to its Alaska funding opportunities webpage (http://www.fws.gov/alaska/fundingopportunity.htm). The point of contact listed for access issues or questions about the full announcement was Katherine Smiley, Contracting/Grant Officer, reachable by phone at 907-786-3412 or by email at KatherineSmiley@fws.gov. The internal tracking identifier for the announcement was Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00101.
