Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00162) was posted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as a discretionary cooperative agreement to support targeted research at Palmyra Atoll National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). The project focus is the management of an invasive corallimorph on refuge lands, with the intent of producing actionable recommendations for removal and control of a highly invasive species. The work is framed as applied research rather than basic science, with the refuge management need driving the study questions and expected outcomes.
The proposed research is centered on understanding how the invasive corallimorph spreads and persists at Palmyra Atoll, specifically examining its spread patterns, growth rates, and how it responds to iron. In addition, the opportunity calls for studying recolonization dynamics after removal, meaning investigators are expected to evaluate how quickly and in what manner the organism returns following management actions. A key component is testing or informing chemical control strategies, with attention to what happens during and after chemical treatment, including whether treated areas stay clear, how fast reinvasion occurs, and what conditions may influence success or failure.
The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, indicating substantial federal involvement compared with a standard grant. In practical terms, that typically means the Fish and Wildlife Service would expect to coordinate closely with the recipient on project planning, execution, data needs, and deliverables, ensuring the research directly supports refuge invasive species control decisions. The announcement notes that the cooperative agreement is with the Regents of the University of California, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, signaling that the work is intended to be carried out in partnership with that institution.
Funding is limited to a single expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. The award ceiling is $50,000 and the award floor is $0, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. The CFDA program associated with the funding is 15.664, Fish and Wildlife Coordination and Assistance Programs, which aligns with the applied conservation and management purpose of the project.
Eligibility is restricted to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, reinforcing the academic-research partnership model and narrowing the applicant pool to qualifying universities and similar entities. The opportunity was posted on June 19, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 19, 2013, and it was archived on July 20, 2013, meaning it is no longer open but remains a record of the funded initiative and its scope.
