Opportunity Summary:
This grant notice, titled "Potential Contribution of Dare County Bombing Range to the Red-cockaded Woodpecker Population of NE NC" (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00066), was issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement. The purpose of the planned award was to support work that would more accurately assess the red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW) population in northeastern North Carolina, focusing on population size, distribution, and the species overall prospects for recovery. A central part of the effort was to evaluate how RCWs and suitable habitat associated with the Air Force Dare County Bombing Range might contribute to the region's RCW recovery and long-term viability.
The notice is explicitly a notice of intent to make a single-source award, meaning the agency planned to fund one specific recipient without a competitive application process. It also makes clear there was no full funding announcement and that the posting was not a request for applications. Although the eligibility field is listed as "unrestricted," the accompanying language clarifies that competition was not being opened and that the decision not to compete was based on departmental policy (cited as 505 DM 2.14,B.(2)) and made at the agency's discretion.
The opportunity was tied to CFDA 15.657, "Endangered Species Conservation - Recovery Implementation Funds," and categorized under education, environment, and science and technology/other research and development. The notice anticipated one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $120,000 and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting date and creation date were January 12, 2015, with an original and current closing date of January 20, 2015, and an archive date of January 21, 2015. Award floor and ceiling were both listed as $0, which typically reflects that a specific fixed range was not being communicated in the public notice even though an estimated total amount was provided.
For administrative questions or difficulties accessing materials through Grants.gov, the notice provided a point of contact: Kerri Heywood, Grant Specialist, at 404-679-4066 and kerriheywood@fws.gov. An additional information link was also provided to Grants.gov.
