Opportunity Summary:
The Prairie Restoration Project (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00453) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service. It falls under the Environment, Natural Resources, and Regional Development funding activity category and is listed under CFDA 15.654. The stated purpose of the award is straightforward: to facilitate the continued restoration of prairie habitat, supporting on-the-ground work that advances prairie recovery and management.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the agency expects to be actively involved during the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. In practical terms, that often translates to ongoing coordination, shared planning, technical input, or other forms of substantial federal participation as the restoration work proceeds. The opportunity was categorized as “unrestricted†eligibility, meaning it was open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been included in the full announcement.
The maximum award amount (award ceiling) listed for this opportunity is $288,267, and the agency anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The posting indicates that a recipient had already been selected, and the timeline reinforces that this was a narrowly timed, targeted action: it was created on September 9, 2016, with an original closing date of September 14, 2016. Overall, this opportunity appears designed to fund a specific, defined prairie restoration effort under close coordination with the Fish and Wildlife Service, using federal support to continue ongoing restoration activities rather than launching a broad, multi-award competitive program.
