Opportunity Summary:
The Refuges Inventory and Monitoring Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00241) was offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS) as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement. It falls under the environment funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.608. The focus of the opportunity, as stated in the description, is on best management practices for developing a strategic and adaptive invasive plant management plan. In practical terms, the grant is aimed at supporting work that helps refuges or refuge-related partners plan, prioritize, and improve how they prevent, detect, control, and evaluate invasive plant issues over time, using an approach that can be adjusted as conditions change and new information becomes available.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations, including both (1) nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and (2) nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education). The funding instrument being a cooperative agreement signals that the federal agency expected to have substantial involvement in the project rather than acting only as a pass-through funder. That typically means recipients should anticipate coordination with agency staff on project design, methods, deliverables, or implementation decisions, especially when the work is tied to refuge management priorities and established inventory and monitoring standards.
The opportunity had an award ceiling of $50,000 and anticipated making one award, indicating a relatively small, targeted project rather than a large multi-site program. The posting and creation dates were May 25, 2016, and the application deadline (both original and current) was June 6, 2016, giving a short application window of roughly two weeks. Overall, the grant was structured to fund a single nonprofit-led effort to produce or advance actionable guidance and planning capacity around invasive plant management, emphasizing strategic prioritization and adaptive management practices consistent with refuge inventory and monitoring needs.
