Opportunity Summary:
The Recovery Implementation Funds opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00188) is a discretionary federal grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service focused on endangered species conservation under CFDA 15.657. It supports recovery implementation work, meaning practical, on-the-ground actions that contribute directly to carrying out recovery efforts for species listed under the Endangered Species Act. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the award is made as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates the agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordination, technical input, or oversight as work is carried out).
This opportunity was designed as a single-award competition, with one expected award totaling $352,924. The award floor and ceiling are both $352,924, which effectively signals a fixed funding amount for the project selected under this announcement rather than a range of possible award sizes. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal match as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness based on the posted summary information.
Eligible applicants included federally recognized Native American tribal governments, other Native American tribal organizations (even if not federally recognized as governments), and county governments. That eligibility set suggests the opportunity was aimed at supporting recovery implementation efforts that are often led or coordinated at the local or tribal level, where listed species and their habitats are managed, monitored, and restored.
Key dates show the announcement was posted on June 7, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 18, 2012, and it was archived on June 20, 2012. In other words, it was a short application window. The listing references Grants.gov for access to the full announcement details, and the point of contact for assistance was Jamie Juker at the Fish and Wildlife Service (208-378-5263, jamiejuker@fws.gov).
